I'm about to purchase a gas string trimmer to replace my rechargeable electric, which is simply not the tool for my large yard with hundreds of feet of chain link fence to trim up to.
I like the Echo 200 model, including what y'all say about it here, but is their "Rapid-Loader" fixed-line string mechanism practical or will it just bring me more frustration than it's worth, having to reload it every minute ot two? Anyone have personal experience with these fixed-line trimmers?
Thx, Chuck
I have a twin-line bump-feed head that uses .095 line, and it works great. I highly recommend it for trimming around chain link (but try to keep it out of the fence.) It holds a lot of line, and the .095 doesn't wear down all that fast unless you tangle it up in the fence or try to cut concrete with it.

I went the No Frustration route as have many others ,
It is using Roundup then a propane torch to burn off the dead grass - weeds
Gee what a hole we are in - a weed hole frame of mind
