Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Define "Reels".

I do believe, you could order the drag star from one of the newer-ish 6500 steel gray
C3's. They started using some similar ergonomic paddle handles on the classic ones.
They're actually quite comfy and very easy on the wrist as well. Here's a pic of the schematic for you.
Don't know why it came up sideways?
But surely, doesn't surprise me.

My reel inventory is basically a life form.

It constantly changes and is impossible to put a number on.

Best, Fred

Nothing good can come from counting my reels, and nothing in our marriage vows says I gotta limit myself 

Wife:  Enough yet?    Me:  Nope.     

Yeah, some of our weeds were close to 3', and the hillside is around 35° to the North.

We use a combination of the DR, Stihl, and Honda.

Best, Fred

Fred I'm at about the same step count for the day. I did our entire back hill which is about 1/3 acre and it usually takes 5-6 hours depending on how high and thick the grass is. I only do the back hill once a summer after the majority of it dries out.  The remaining 2/3 of the property gets mowed and weed whacked a couple times a spring or early summer. I've got about an hours worth of work left but I'm glad it's done for the year. 

Being that the trimmer is 10 yrs old it might be time to think about replacing and upgrading it to something with a little more power.  We use Stihl trimmers at work and they're great so I'll probably look into those. I love the RedMax which has served me well for 10 years and is lightweight. The powerhead is a little underpowered and now that we're back to "normal" winter moisture levels the grass crop is getting thicker and thicker so I'll need more horsepower.

I'll start looking into a new trimmer after the summer season ends to try to score a deal.

Tough enough to count rods but at least they're mostly in racks on the walls (except for several in a corner) reels have such odd shapes yet they fit together in a pile so well.

How many reels do y'all have? I probably have about 75. All users or eventual users.

Hey Fred, is the DR good for wacking tall grass on a hillside?
