Weedeater line question

[chobbs1957]

What happens to weedeater line as you use it? Does it dissolve into a powder or liquid, break away into little pieces and fly off, or what? I've never seen any traces on the ground.

I also was wondering if the refrigerator light REALLY GOES OFF when I close the door.

Now I have something else to wonder about....

I go through about a head of line a day 3 finger tip to finger tip lengths is one head.

I use .095 echo crossfire that I buy by the spool

Electrical poles, fire hydrants, raspberry plants, small trees, rocks, string edging, and fencing are my big killers

I only put maybe 10 ft. of line in the trimmer head so sometimes I go through 3 of them a day, other times I don't need to replace the line at all.

Open the door push the button inside the door without closing it....light on or off. :wink: :laughing:

I'm actually not sure if the line is biodegradable which was the question. I'd say no in general plastics take forever to degrade.


If you are overly concerned here you go......>Bioline - Biodegradable Trimmer Line

There now people can sleep.

Y'all need to Patrice your trimming skills.

I don't care what anyone says there are times to not run your trimmer wide open.

I am going to make a video on trimming chain link fence. 50 feet and never let more line out.
Edge a driveway hold the trimmer on its side and walk backwards.

I ran non bump heads for years and hate putting new line on.

(( cowboy up and get over it ))

I don't trim much against chain link fence but I do what you do to edge driveways.

Trimming the deep victorian edges and weeding (yes I do that lazy thing) destroys the 095 pretty fast. The engagement with earth tightens the spooled line which requires me to remove the bump head and loosen/ rewind, but it is worth it. I use variable speed depending upon the task.

Here is several good choices. I am currently using the Supertwist Platinum, but have been very happy with the square Magnum Gatorline with the
strand of Kevlar, or Aramid center.

I have a three pound container of .095 Magnum Twist waiting in the wings, but the .095 Maruyama string seems to be the best string I have used thus far. Although I'm a homeowner, every time I start the trimer, I trim 1450 feet of edge, eight trees, & ten bushes (little less than an hour and a half).

In 19 years on my property, I used many different strings and always felt I was bumping often. The Maruyama seems to last the longest thus far. I purchased a second head for my new Shindiawa. I plan to use the two heads intermittently with Maruyama & Magnum string to see which string lasts longer.

I have heard that Maruyama is good line, but no one here has ever heard of the brand, let alone seen a dealer.
