the only issue was the original bump head...i replaced it with a t35x head from husquvarna which i bought from massy...
Been using 3mm black string from massy and damn...that thing could cut bamboo grass without a sweat
I am looking for a clutch spring for the Murray. You think the Husquvarna might be similar.

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

For bumper heads I bought three at Bob, Southern Chem in Chaguanas. Didnot last long. My 8550 EFCO Italian/German Engineering has too much torque for the head. Had to buy the original bumper head.

word for whoever have a have a sthil, remember to grease this. i finally greased mines after a couple years and boy did it make a difference. 55$ for the small one, and 65$ for one almost twice the size.

Are there any reports of the stihl metal blades breaking ?
I use both the star shaped brush cutting and the straight lawn cutting one.

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?
Use the recommended thickness of line .TrinbagoMan wrote:~Vēġó~ wrote:FS 450 checking in.....dat going through anything with ease....kinda bush I does have to deal with by me....

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
