Based on my experience so far I'd say yes. Ideally you'd give it a couple passes on each side of the fence. Not surprisingly I have done better with mine in subsequent mowings as I fine tune the adjustments and techniques. In particular the last time out I didn't have any line break at the head, which I'd attribute to more consistent rpm, not to mention having taken out the worst of the woody brush previously. This time there was a gradual shortening of all the line ends. I noticed my cutting width was down to under 15 inches and that's when I stopped to replace the line. I also didn't have trouble with the PTO shaft detaching during use. After it detached the first time out it was kind of sticky going back in, which may have helped it stay put. I also used an L wrench as planned to get a little more torque on the set screw.
