Carrying Trimmer Line

[exotion]

just pull 15-20' of line off the roll, roll it up again and put it in your back pocket.

X2 I just roll about 15' up and put it in my cargo pants pocket

What size properties are y'all trimming? Are y'all doing whole subdivisions, several houses in a row or large commercial accounts?

I don't carry extra line with me and I never re-spool or fill when I'm working . The spool itself as Carscw said carry's 30ft and it will last for a day easy. If I do need line during the day I carry two spools loaded with line at the truck and it takes like 30 seconds to remove the empty and put a full spool in.

It's just makes sense and its so easy.

I do not know why people make things so complicated.

That's what it sounds like if their worried about carrying string with them instead of just going back to the truck.

Did any of you read the post? Pre cut, PRE CUT. I did not read word spool anywhere in the OP. Bob E seems to understand what the guy is talking about. Not everyone has the same equipment. Reloading a spool is more complicated then loading a single line.

I saw a post about where you keep your pre-cut trimmer line when trimming a large yard so you don't have to run to truck for more line. But I cant seem to find it. Keeping in my pocket doesn't work to good. I was thinking about keeping it on trimmer some how? Who's got the best way?

Actually I assumed when he said I saw a post about where you keep your per-cut trimmer line when trimming a large yard so you don't have to run to truck, he was removing it from a bulk spool of line, not using a fixed line trimmer head where you would us 8" pieces of pre-cut line.

I told him what I use and why. So he would know a easier and more productive way.


Using a head that takes pre cut pieces is a waste of time and line and money.

So now he knows to get a good bump head and a extra spool.

Go get the speed and feed bump head. All you need to do is cut some line 6 ft and stick in thru the hole and twist. About 30 seconds and back to trimming.

I do the same here with the two extra pre-wound spools. It takes no time and since I switched to Oregon Gatorline I have noticed I don't have to change spools out as often as I did with the Stihl line.

That gator line is good stuff, I use it on the Stihl 110 and your right I don't use as much of it as the stihl line.

I never used the gator line.
I man at the flea market had a few packs of it today. I almost bought some to try it.
