Stihl FR 460 TC-EFM Electric Start Backpack Brushcutter in action Spring cleaning. 

I can't take credit for coming up with it, as I saw someone else doing the same on another RU-vid video & thought exactly the same. It is genius! Once you get it set up right it gives you just enough float to make life a lot easier keeping the line head or blade just where you want it (So it floats at a given height without much input from yourself once set correctly.) Also adds a little bit of swing/give, to bounce the line or blade up or down without much effort needed when you need to smooch up or down just a little bit to raise the cut or lower it for some precise work; or that one bloody weed that always seems to be at an odd angle or height!

Go get one, you know you wanna! :)

I had enough of the faff and wearing of plastic heads/ bump heads. The link I replied with, are what we now use. & they are awesome. Why bother with only 2 strands, when you can deploy 16... ;)

In Italy we say: bread for those without teeth

The time saving with it though increases productivity. Especially on quick turnover urban work, more so with large gardens where you need to walk between areas that require dealing with. The constant taking the machine off to start it then putting it back on; becomes a none issue. =]

@@shadowofthegardener The special designed starter allow you to start engine from standing position while wearing machine.

I tie a bungee cord in a loose knot around the handle/handgrip, so both ends of the bungee are able to hook onto the Backpack harness. Which has a few little strap loops on it already; that take the bungee hooks nicely and they stay put till it's time to down tools. Hope that helps? If not, let me know and I will organise pictures or a video to show it. 👍

Which one and best at what?

The Blue Bungee cord, was added by me. It does not come with the unit, as you probably now know. Enjoy it! :)

Any news on it's arrival yet? :)

My opinion on the machine, it's epic. Hands down the best strimmer/brushcutter I've used. Replace the standard Stihl cutting head unit with an Oregon Universal strimmer head unit (www.amazon.co.uk/Oregon-110980-Universal-Aluminium-Trimmer/dp/B00C7R5E1E), running 16 strands of 2.4mm line & it will devastate almost anything. ;) What it doesn't obliterate with 2.4mm line, you can use up to 3.4mm line or switch out for a metal mulching blade etc and finish up. ;)

@@shadowofthegardener thanks you 🙏👏 Muito obrigado

@@joaoagostinho8294 De nada obrigado por comentar =] Take care & stay safe. :)

For this type of material, it'd be overkill & the line does it quicker without the extra weight and vibration. :)
