I have one and I love it...
dave,
I used it yesterday for the first time and was amazed how well it performed. Ran it for about 30 minutes and the strings are the same length as when installed however they have a roughed up feel to them but not any broken off. Back when I bought the JD the string was just round like spaghetti-now the strings have cutting edges-great improvement.
For ducks and kind of a NASCAR pit stop drill, I un-loaded and re-loaded fresh strings in the four head posts and it took about a minute and a half.
I also have the shoulder harness with the bungee cord and WOW! No more hefting that JD around with my arms alone. Some may think what a wuss but after shoulder surgery and yet the other side is getting worse, the simple harness is a weed eating life saver.
