I run the Husqvarna XP Pro, I have a Shindaiwa T302X 1.8 hp that I cut with. Run it wide open from the start till I run out of gas so I can time study when I want to. The XP Pro cutting 6 inches to 2ft 6-inch weeds I get about 1 hour 20 minutes run time, with other lines I only get about 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes run time. Also don't get the vibration out of the XP Pro that I get from most other lines{twist, square, and other lines in general. The extra run time per tank may not seem like a lot but it adds up to $ over the course of a day or week. It cuts great for me.

Bought a Stihl fs56 yesterday and used the line it came with. That line kept breaking into smaller and smaller lengths, also it kept freezing in the head - trimmer line weld. I saw this test and review and bought Husqvarna line today. I like it! It cuts well, didn't keep getting smaller by the second of use, and I didn't get trimmer line weld inside the head with it (I must have taken the reel out and re-wound the line half a dozen times in a day's use with the line it came with). The Stihl runs like a charm with one of your top rated lines. Thank you for your excellent work reviewing trimmer lines!!! It has helped me, and I'm confident it will help others.

You made an interesting statement near the end of the video talking about the trimmer along the fence line! 2 things I learned over the years if you weed whack often you need minimum RPM to cut the next session of weeds or grass which in turn saves the trimmer line which last longer and save gas. Have a 250-foot ditch line I used to cut and have to bring the gas can with me and extra round of string! No I use quarter power I can do the ditch and the whole yard all in one session with no extra gas and no extra line! It's the user that makes the difference!

Great video! Your creativity in coming up with tests that have high measurement validity is impressive. I used to work clearing drainage ponds using a line trimmer, and we were much tougher on them than anything done in the video.

And you can try to put them in and pull them out put them in pull them out and still nothing so you have to send them back. But one thing about the water filters, is the fact that your refrigerator has a built in computer program and after so much water goes through it comes up with a light on that says change your filter. But you can easily just mash the reset button whether or not you have changed the filter or not and it will go on another amount Of time or amount of use and tell you to change it again. I sure do get tired of having the refrigerator change filter light come on and then put in faulty filters.

@@ProjectFarm Should have tested: Bump feed reliability, ease and speed of reloading the line, cutting performance/durability when used to cut plants, not foam tubes, stretch tests and belt sanders. Too much lab testing, not enough real world testing. I bought the twisted line for my landscaping business, in reality the stuff is terrible. The twisted design makes it really annoying to reload, would not bump feed as reliably as conventional line, the ends constantly fray leaving it with terrible cutting performance. I threw it away only half way through the packet as the performance was too low, gone back to the cheap regular stuff - much better.

My HVAC guy said not to use the extremely fine filters because the reduced airflow can make the fan motor work harder, possibly shortening its life. Maybe that could be part of your tests, although I have no idea how you'd quantify it.

[@jeffdavis6657]

@@Pseudo-Geek That may also be to generate more service calls. I heard the same, and the AC guy said to "only use these" and held up the 3 filter for a dollar type. Claimed airflow too.

[@kenhurley4441]

@@Pseudo-Geek Most HVAC guys don't install a big enough return duct. That's why they say use the cheap filters. I've designed several systems and then hired them installed. They all said,,,,, why such big duct work on the return. I said so you can use a really good filter and still have air-flow!

[@Pseudo-Geek]

@@jeffdavis6657 Nope - my HVAC guy is a friend of mine who I've known for 30 years and wouldn't be able to bring himself to rip off anybody, much less me, and because of his honesty and reputation he's always so swamped with service calls that he doesn't need to drum up business. Anyhow, Project Farm will set it straight someday.

Had bought a too-large roll of underperforming trimmer line, finally done with it and came back to see these old results. Thanks for the Maxpower link!

Trimmer line pro tip : Whatever particular line you're using, make sure its hydrated. Submerge the entire roll n water overnight. You will be staggered by the improvement in performance strength and durability.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@2visiondigital]

A seasoned 2 cycle repair shop mechanic told me this as well. He also said trimmer line has a short shelf life and it is best to have fresh stock. Old trimmer line breaks faster.

[@aaronruple6964]

I truly appreciate your videos. As engineering business analyst I spend my life evaluating software technologies and developing testing plans to validate many areas for specific criterias. I find myself at times just watching the same video weeks or months later just for pure enjoyment.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Really Great testing as always! I bought a new Makita trimmer this year and made the switch to battery. I bought the same Oregon Grey "Magnum" Trimmer line you tested here. I ALSO bought the BLUE Oregon "PLATINUM" trimmer line. It is shaped like 4 rounded pieces fused into a square twisted pattern as viewed from the end. I would LOVE to see How it preforms . I believe This is Oregons Best Trimmer line. I am very impressed with the Husqvarna and Twisted which I had never heard of before. Thanks again. Paul

I love your channel and your videos, but I think what I admire most of all is the sheer amount of work that you obviously put into the testing. Between devising all these different tests, and then executing them scientifically, and the amount of teardown and setup you must have to go to between each product you test - great respect to you sir for the amount of work you put in.

[@ProjectFarm]

Project Farm, I really appreciate that no matter what you do, you always point out when products are made in USA.

[@konner3593]

Owning my own lawncare business, I've tried quite a few different trimmer lines. I heard from other guys that Echo's black diamond trimmer line was really good, and I ended up trying some. I was really surprised when I first tried it because it cut so smooth and cleanly but was also quiet and doesn't make an awful noise when it hits hard objects like some other trimmer lines. Since I've tried it I've never used anything else. I'm not saying there aren't better trimmer lines out there, but I definitely prefer the black diamond since it performs well but isn't super expensive.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@nothanks9050]

It's the best cutting line I've tried, makes a small unit feel like it's got a couple of extra cc's! Great for productivity on dense thick grass. Not the toughest against woody stems or for jobs where you want something to really smash and spread the material away from the head. Prefer the black too, no bright bits of old line visible.

[@fubar12345]

I used Echo when I first started doing lawns. I bought the Max Power because of this video. While I really like the Max Power, it truly is thicker than the other lines. It performs very well on thicker weeds, but thicker line does not do as well with grass. It does not do a bad job, but true "095 would do better. I would like to see Echo black Diamond and Rotary Black vortex in this competition.
