    The dark one sure seems ill proportioned with those thin legs below the overhang. Kinda cute though.

    I probably wouldn't have thought to take off the guard, but I noticed that all the pros around have, so I followed their example. Squish, you need a goat chained up out there. Goats are cool. Don't submerge it in water.

    Thanks for all the help. I'll have to better concentrate on the winding. I thought I was winding well enough, but it still was getting caught. So, you guys using the Stihl, do you always buy the Stihl string?

    Thanks, Brian. I think improper winding as you suggest, has been a cause for problems. I'm not sure that the head I received is a good example, it's a bit old and worn. I want to get a new one, so was wondering what choice to make. Stihl, is that the bump type, Levi?

    I've started looking after a property that is part of a hotel's woods and garden grounds. More and more dead Pines from Beetles and the trees need to be thinned out. I also take care of a large garden area as well, and need to clip the grass around a pond, etc. A friend gave me a string...
