Just keep the spool in a bucket of water .

I have 45cc and 55cc Husqvarnas strimmers Been strimming for years .They are the best strimmer / brush cutters out there . The Oregon jet fit head perfectly suits the 55cc machine as it has bags of torque and can spin an 18-20" sweep of Deasert extrusion 4.00mm square cord at full chat . No welding of line , no eyelets popping out , no winding on the " right " amount of line . Will clatter down pretty much anything . Its dynamite . 🙂 ( I did say at the beginning of this thread that opinion will be divided ) .

Leave a decent tail so you can grab the end with some pliers and pull it strait out . ( as in my pictures ) I run them with no guard so can make them about 9 inches long this gives a wider sweep . You need 45cc or more to do this .
-
That's the thing . They will always be the same lenght but too short IMHO .

The plastic cone pissadears after a short time . Not worth bothering with . Its a 4 way head but with only 2 lines in the lower slots . using a 4 way head keeps the nut under flush so you don't dig in .

Someone who does the same as me ! Also soak the line in a bucket of water . nylon is hygroscopic and absorbs water making it less brittle .

Opinion will be divided on this one ! I like the Oregon Jet Fit heads with 3.00mm or 4.00mm square line made by Diamond extrusion . Some people prefer thinner line with a bump feed head .

Try M J O forestry . West Dean nr Chichester . Mark Odin .

City trees it will be the local council . Id tags can mean species , TPO trees to retain , trees to fell ( not often the last one ) Forestry can be different . Its " old school " stuff .

I dunno but could be a " cat " restricting the initial draw . Like having a Jackdaw nest in the flu 😀

They look dry to me .

There are times Jonathan when I remember all the past 8 spaniels I have had . Like you say , your brain puts it all on a shelf way in the back .

As in deer 🙂 -
You need to pop some other species eggs in there to keep up with the current trend ! 🙂

Forward thinking . Anti deer perhaps ? -
If they are going to be used for what you describe ( checking on your boys ) then yea if its what you do . If they are going to be used for theft recovery , the bit where you say " they can be easily removed " makes them next to useless I would think .

Just realized , its Star Wars day to day .

Its become a " Bialder " 🙂

There are cones and there are cones . The helix ( buttress thread if you like ) has to be sharp , and hard where it first contacts the bark side of the round . After that it can be tough but not so hard . . If it bites and then stalls the engine then you don't have enough torque . On the other hand , if you do have loads of torque it will churn through , knots and all .Torque is the key as opposed to revs . Similar in a way to a hydraulic splitter with not enough tonnage .
