My wife would kill me if I got one of the 300$ landscape blades right now, but that will be soon to come. However, I need string for my trimmer right now.

What is your go to trimmer string for bermuda? I honestly thought string was string, but there is about 50 different types it seems. Square, round, triangle, twisted, etc. not sure what to get. Any suggestions? Since I'm maintaining my lawn pretty low would like to get some string that would cut cleaner.

They're all going to work about as well honestly. The $300 was tough to suck up but it was worth it. Order it after you take her shopping. It softens the blow :)

The wife will always outspend us. $300 for a landscape blade is nothing compared to monthly: hair appointments (~$100, I think), 2oz of anti-aging cream ($90, does it work?), new shoes, facial, manicure, pedicure, massage, etc, etc, etc.

I'm using this one this year. It seems to stay quite flat in plane while spinning.
I saw a video about this line. I would like to try some, but my local shop only sells it in 10# spools. This is the stuff made by Rotary, correct?

I saw another video last year about the Echo product. Someone here made a video about it. ;)

I think mines spending $250 every 6 weeks on hair

I have used the Oregon Gatorline square, and it was amazing. Super strong, flexible, and didn't get chewed up by concrete or stone like some of the cheaper strings. Probably the strongest quickest cutting string I've used.

I now use the Gator Speedload disks. You change the head once, and then the speedload cartridges snap right in when it's time to change. Takes 1 minute to load a new cartridge; it's beautiful.

I switched out to this during the winter, only have used it once real quick but so far I like them, and especially the speed load part.

Interesting thread. Anyone know what premium strings, if any, is available in the .065 size? Right now, I'm using 6-sided blue line, and it seems to work better than the regular round type.
