What line you all use for the 450? I had a red line it came with. When that finished i used a white round line. it worked good initially then it started to only burst.
What line you all recommend?
Lol....never had issues with loading the black string so never had any troubles with it...doh need much of it to wrap in the head anyway because of the durability...but gotta try the square line too...Kronik wrote:~Vēġó~ wrote:Usually a black string...pretty thick one and it lasts....TrinbagoMan wrote:~Vēġó~ wrote:FS 450 checking in.....dat going through anything with ease....kinda bush I does have to deal with by me....

I find the black a little too thick, makes it hard to wrap in the head, I use the yellow one on my 450. But the square ones work good as the edges along the length of the string cut the grass better than the normal round one where you usually rely on the tip of the string to do the cutting.
I used to get real problems with the yellow constantly bursting by the eye for the head, just had to change how I was cutting and I don't have that problem anymore, I thought it was a string problem, turns out it was a wackerman problem

On another note, i was changing heads, and the grass guard came out.. when i mounted back up i noticed the following ring.. I not sure if that came from somewhere on the head, or if it is from something else. Can someone who has a stihl 450 advise?

Yeah that does be from the automatic head, I didn't even realize that was there until I take out the head and see that, not sure of the purpose

Also, how do you minimise or prevent line welding from occurring?
Thanks.

I've even read that you can get overheating from using too much grease. The case should only be filled about halfway.

They have the clutch spring and I am getting it tomorrow.
Thank goodness they supply a retailer in Gopaul Lands, Marabella with parts.

Yea its my own yard, a two lots. Not even the entire yard, but like edges, drains... sometimes though I might do the whole place. Do you think $1200 is a realistic budget for something suitable to my needs?
Two lots every week or two means that you can use just about anything with a straight shaft.shake d livin wake d dead wrote:Nexus wrote:Hey,
