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.

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.

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!

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).

How about testing safety glasses to go along with the weed eater line?

[@ProjectFarm]

Great video idea!

[@csrunner6296]

Second that! Safety glasses testing would be cool! After one stick in the eye I always wear em!

[@ccadama]

@Project Farm. Please include safety glasses that can go over corrective eyeglasses if you do a test. Thanks.

[@samnottheotherone4363]

Definitely agree, I also would like full face shields.

This is a fantastic channel. LOVE the hands on, real world tests. I have to remember to check here before purchases! Way better than reviews or UGH ads...!!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks so much!

[@manny7360]

Just went to Amazon to look at the twisted trimmer line. Read a bunch of positive reviews that referenced this video. I couldn’t help myself and bought a spool. I have two huge spools of Shakespeare that I have had for years but it is junk. Can’t wait to try this out.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

I love how he says the manufacturer claims in such a deadpan manner. Great videos!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@Fitz1993]

When I first started watching these videos I liked them well enough but I didn't really get into them, but now I find myself getting really competitive and rooting for certain products. These videos really have no right being as entertaining and engaging as they are, you really do an amazing job with them.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the kind feedback!

[@Magnabee97]

Just an update. I bought some Max Power Twisted after your video and wow is that stuff great. Even along the edge of my cement patio it did a great job without breaking every two seconds. You’re the best. Thanks.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.

[@LoNuevoEnTv]

I recently purchased a string trimmer and I knew Project Farm would have a video. Thank you for your awesome content!

[@ProjectFarm]

Happy to help!

[@tylercasebolt3727]

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. We used square Oregon line because it was soft enough to not throw rocks at ourselves, and the square line reduced the contact surface between lines, reducing welding when the head overheated

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing!

[@dubmob151]

How did the RPM measurement in the wire test indicate durability against breakage? Was it a max rpm measurement? Or a measurement of the highest rpm reached before the string broke, which would then show a sudden higher rpm from the short line?

[@cornmac1796]

Perfect timing, I’m in need of more trimmer line. Your video editing style is incredible. Well spoken, straight to the point, and easy to watch. Great job project farm.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

Got to this video late but was I ever surprised at how well the MaxPower Twisted trimmer line worked in my Ego String Trimmer. I had been using Echo and there is No Comparison! Thanks!!!

Great idea coming back to see if last year's competitors upped their games! Honestly I love to see the ingenuity that goes into how you single out specific characteristics for testing with your apparatuses, belt sander to simulate hitting concrete, brilliant!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

One of the best channels I've ever seen on KZbin.. so many things I've learned! Thank you for the time and effort your put on those videos, and keep testing!

[@ProjectFarm]

Wow, thanks!

[@Addrit85]

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]

Thanks!

[@KF1]

Stretch distance and welding inside the trimmer head were great things to note in this vid. Impressive stuff. I've tried that edged Echo line. Found it to be really weak (the sharp corners would thin out really fast). In my experience 12 years cutting grass professionally, the round style is the strongest because it has the maximum volume possible vs surface area, which is a huge factor for durability. Great testing!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you very much!

[@LLynch-se5ui]

Hey brother. I appreciate the testing you perform as this allows me and many others to make the best purchase decisions. I'd like to make a recommendation for future videos where you include all of your results at the end of the video for us to go over. Thanks!

[@ProjectFarm]

Great constructive feedback. Thank you

[@Jackinfla1591]

I agree 100% with L. Lynch. When 'it's' the best in group give it 5 points, down to 0 points for worst. Then in your ending summary, go from highest grade to lowest. P.S., I love the thought process (and sooo much time and equipment) that you put into each testing project. Thanks!

[@LLynch-se5ui]

That's another good point that I'd forgotten to mention Tom. This way we can see the collective average scoring for each of the different items. Once more, the quality of the content is superb.

Todd, I have watched you videos for a while now and just love them. I have to apologize for taking so long to become a patron but just took the plunge. I just purchased and received the Maxpower Twisted line yesterday and can’t believe how well it works. I thing I extended the line twice in my round of trimming. Way less than what I did with the line I was using previously. I also bought a Shindaiwa/Echo speed feed head for my Stihl trimmer. The combination of the two have made me a very happier camper. I am not sure how many speed feed universal heads are on the market but I would love to see a comparison. Please keep all the great content coming!

[@ProjectFarm]

Hi John, Thank you for the positive feedback and for supporting the channel. As Patreon support has increased, I've taken are more and more expensive videos, and plan to keep tackling even bigger ticket items as funding allows. Glad the Maxpower Twisted is performing well. Thanks again, Todd

Why do I like hearing "we're going to test that" after reading a claim?

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for watching.

[@Gary65437]

Because most companies lie about their claims, so a test is needed to check for lies...lol

[@WayneWerner]

Because you like science more than marketing

It's because PF smirks when he says it, thinking back to all the bogus claims he's seen throughout the years.

That review was great. There's a definite split in the pack, into two groups: good and superlative. From my couch, I'm set upon trying out the MaxPower string line. That will be in the future, because it's winter and I have a spool of Stihl line to chow through.

I've been using Stihl line, mainly because I bought a Stihl trimmer. It seemed ok at first but, after being stored on the spool in the shed over just one winter it degraded badly. I just put on new line at the beginning of the season and it just kept breaking. I just ordered some MaxPower. Thanks for the well done tests and review.

[@l33tg4m3r]

I've been watching through all of the videos in your channel for a bit now, and honestly your channel is always such a delight! Your product reviews put things into more real-world applications than product design testing, and you're super thorough with everything you test! One thing I would love to see tested on your channel is circular/miter saw blades and which ones cut the best and are the most resilient! Non-ferrous-metal-rated blades would be awesome to see, but even wood and general purpose blades would provide an amazing baseline. It would also be interesting to see if any of the metal-rated blades can cut through thicker metal than they're rated for, or even cut steel pipes! Since these blades tend to be on the pricier side, it would be great to know which ones are worth the extra few bucks and realistically how frequently I'll end up having to change blades. Have a wonderful day, and keep making these amazing videos! :)
