I'm a 72 yr old widowed woman who has never used these tools I am now forced to learn because I can't pay someone to do it. I absolutely loved your description of how to change the string "thingy". I was able to go out and do it without a hitch. I so appreciate your help.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

well my friend....."forced to learn" at 72 is a total bummer....bigger question is this: If you had to do it over again, would ya pay someone to mow your lawn or learn how to do it and enjoy that hour of peace every week improving your property? There's a sense of pride that comes from mowing that I honestly can't explain.....looking back on a hard day's work and being proud of it. That's what our children need too!! My dad is 72....you're still a young woman!! Remember...always wear some boots and long pants and safety glasses! Take care!

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer well I know how to mow the lawn and do it sometimes, but the issue becomes allergies to grass and exhaustion after that hour, and I still have all the other things to do that my husband of 50 yrs did, plus my stuff ( garden, chickens, house, preserving food, chopping and stacking wood for heat for next year, - done! etc) I’m about to take the corroded pipes out from under my bathroom sink and figure out how to replace them.

She’s lived here for 35 years and never liked to garden or be outside. She’s 87, that means the large family we had are no longer here. It’s just us 3 now. I get overwhelmed and have had to learn ALL kinds of things that I’d rather delegate but so be it. I’m a gardener so the yard and our space is very important to me so I’ll keep chipping away at it. I’m here because I ordered a lower cost 2 stroke weed/brush eater and had to assemble it. It came with 3 feet of string in the attachment 🙄😂 Don’t overexert yourself. One bite at a time.

Try soaking your weed eater string as well. In all the years I've worked with a weed eater, I've never heard about this and just learned this evening! Word is your older line gets some new life in it and you won't be loading near as much line with it not being as brittle. Good luck!

You missed a very important and useful feature of the spool: There are a couple of roundish notches on the rims of the spool to hold the ends of the line so you can install it without holding on to the ends. Also some spools allow you to just bend the 24 feet of string in two and not have to cut it in two.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

[@TheSandwichMonster]

Well done on the method. I work at a STIHL shop myself. Only suggestions to make it easier would be that if you just take 4 arm lengths and cut it. Put each end in the spool as you did and spool it till you're left with a short loop. Latch each edge in the notches built into the spool for holding your line while putting the spool into the head and cut the loop of line. Pull the line from the edge of the spool into the appropriate eyelet and they hold themselves there. Put your faceplate on and go. Otherwise this is super helpful and will recommend it for people who don't have time in the shop. My method would just save you the time of measuring two seperate pieces cause you can cut it at the very end, the spool is built and designed for that. The notches on the top edge of the spool opposite each other. And the effort of holding the line once it's been spooled, hooking it into the notch on the top of the spool removes that risk/effort of holding it from unwinding completely.

[@nathangould2856]

Those are super great tips from a guy who has owned a Stihl string trimmer for probably 15 years and never completely done it the best way like you described. Thanks a lot!

[@TheSandwichMonster]

@@nathangould2856 I'm glad it helped. I read back over it and found it kind of confusing myself. But the basics are there haha.

[@mrmatt7210]

Tip: If you notice more line breakage than what you feel is normal, drop your roll of unused line in a bucket of water for a day or two. Old line can become brittle and a good soaking can reverse this from happening. This is equally true with a new roll of line as there is no way of knowing how many seasons it was on the shelf prior to your purchase.

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer There are other videos online where it shows the string being wound up in the "forward" direction rather than the "back" direction. Does it simply depend on the weed wacker? Or do all the weed wackers need to be in this "back" direction you mention at 3:44?

Great video Josh! There are two slots on the string spool where the loose ends of the newly strung string to be pulled into so they won't accidentally come unstrung before you get the spool back into the head. Once you have the spool reinstalled, just give a slight tug on each line to pull the line out of that holding slot. TaDa!!! :-)

[@marvelousrex2866]

Been weedeating since I was kid but the old 80s/90s style weedeaters we had never seemed to let out string very well with dual strings, so I never bothered doing it. Hadn't had to do any trimming for a decade since moving away from the farm but got a Husqvarna and figured this would be a good time to look for any tricks for wrapping the line easier and doing the dual lines. Man the channels on the newer style heads are really nice! The one note I'd add is to check the way the line is anchored before cutting it. Mine doesn't have holes like that, it just has a notch between the two channels and you loop the line around that and wrap it. I didn't realize that before cutting, so the line is half what I meant to put on. That's alright though, I'll use the two smaller pieces and then I'll know for the next time after that. Still a nice helpful vid.

There are 2 notches on the head (cartridge)... clip the string in those notches before you put the head back in. They are there to hold the string for you while you put the head back in.

[@toddhastings5548]

I’ve got the same model I use for hundreds of hours a year, the way he wound works but it’s better to do the top and bottom separately, starting with the top and not letting the line twist like he does because it will bind on itself and you’ll spend a lot of time and hassle having to stop progress to unbind it because the line won’t come out when you tap it. Keep extra full spools nearby or in your pocket to quickly swap out. I keep my machine running 90-95% of the time I bill my clients for and can clear more area than two people typically can.

Why can rocket engineers come up with a relaunchable rocket but can’t invent, market and sell a better weed whacker that doesn’t require constant reloading with plastic earth polluting wires?

[@nancylitton390]

GREAT hint!!! I just picked up string...I'll give it a try. Thank you and God bless.

to fetch the ball son, lol

[@gabelanger]

I have a Echo with a speed feed super easy to load, and i'm using Vortex line by Rotary. The Echo speed feed head would be worth trying, and are not expensive.

Thank you very much with God's blessings very great video 💞💞🌺🌺🎖🎖🏆🏆

That is nice, I think some trimmers are more difficult, I can see the Stihl are really nice

[@2cylinderfarmer]

I have a Stihl FS 91 and I love the trimmer. I use Stihl .95 thick line. X type line safety yellow in color. Have had very good luck with it. The Oregon line I tried I wasn't too impressed with.

Fabulous video. You made a stressful job into a simple and easy fix. Thank you!!

[@sharonallen6921]

I absolutely hate my weed whacker. I've fought with that thing my entire adult life. Seems like it should be simple but for me stringing it is torture. I'll try your trick. It just might save me some sanity. Thanks. ~Sherrie in South Carolina

Why not metal cutter which lasts longer?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

try using a metal blade around rocks surrounding your farm....it won't do the job my friend

[@kennycochran9263]

Buy you the "SPEED" feed type head. So much easier & faster. Keep your string INSIDE a cardboard box away from the sunshine. Spray the roll with silicone spray or dip in water from time to time to keep it hydrated and from sticking.

Josh! ive had a bunch of the weed wackers over the years and I just picked up the Echo SRM-225 like you said with the speed feed head! It is deff my favorite for sure! Second thing is Oregon makes a very good product! I love their power cut chains for my saws! I run that chain on my Echo CS-490 and my old Mcculloch, id be curious to try that string line! Thanks for the tips as always!

[@susanspeed1638]

I had Stihl, Homelite , weed eater, and lastly Troy Bilt. In an act of desperation I picked up an echo 225 and fell in love. I will never go back. I am 63 and can weed eat 4-6 hours with my echo. When I buy another chain saw it will be an echo.

Shorts will be a nice addition. Congratulations on your new building- she is a beauty

[@deanbarr5740]

Josh, I used Stihl for 40 plus years. Until this spring, I bought an Echo. Simplest thing ever to re-string. I probably wouldn't buy another Stihl. My Echo is way better.

Yes, stupid should hurt...lol.. coined by Zac Bauer I believe? Thanks for showing us how to string a weed eater. Signed, single mama USA.

[@xboxer1]

Excellent video. Thanks for keeping it simple, to the point and light-hearted. Using this video to reload my Stihl grass trimmer tomorrow. Thanks for the help brother!

[@tonycortes1777]

" We'll set that down in a proper place " proceeds to throw the cover away...LOL...I have the same model, what a beast !!! I do one string at a time, after watching this I'll do it your way. Great help !!!

[@aliciabruder1429]

This worked awesome for me! Can’t thank you enough! Normally I have my husband do it, but he is in his busy season and I became determined!

[@petersack5074]

good for you !! Be fearless....as, 'whats the worst that can happen '' ? better than watching boob tube...

[@jerrymcg3199]

If your weedeater line does not feed when you bump it, it could be that it needs to be wound in the opposite direction. I had to wind mine in the direction opposite the arrow marked on the reel to get it to work.
