My father-in-law stopped by the other day and had some new string trimmer line that he claimed was the crap. Well, I usually take his advice with a grain of salt (another story) but he said to wind some up on my string trimmer and give it a try. So, rather than tell him that I liked my string just fine, I obliged........I didn't use it for a couple of days. After I cut my yard, as usual, I grabbed my Sthil FS80 and went around the house, play set, landscaping, edged the concrete......well, just about everything I usually do. When I do this same routine, I bump the head about 6-10 times. With this Gatorline I didn't bump the head a SINGLE time. This is .095 and I usually use .105.....
In another thread, http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...rimmer-actually-troy.html?highlight=troy+bilt , I was having trouble with my Troy Bilt walk behind string trimmer. The line was shearing off waaay to easily. Well, when I placed an order for my flail mower, Flailmaster.com carried Gatorline in .155. So, I ordered a 1lbs. spool and thought, "What the heck........" It came in today and I quickly threaded some on the walk behind trimmer. Let me tell you, it's a whole different machine! I deliberately put it up against cross-ties, landscape rocks, etc. It didn't even break off a 1/4"! I put it up against a landscape rock that had a sharp edge at 90 degrees. Nope! Still held up and actually took a chip out of the rock!
I haven't sunk it in to any weeds, yet, but if it held up to the abuse a little bit ago, it'll have to hold up to heavy grass.
Gatorline square......give it a try!
