Hmm... I may have to give this Revo6 a try. I have 27 acres of high desert, that's not by any stretch of the imagination flat, to maintain. While I'd be better off using a brush hog, I much prefer the lower center of gravity on my ZT mower. And with all of the small river rocks and other desert "obstacles", having a ZT "string trimmer" might be more effective here than steel blades.
In my town of Goderich, Ontario, Canada, this wouldn't really work either. In fact, from what I saw in this video was what I was expecting. I mow typically starting in mid to late April to the end of October and going through line that quickly will add up. If you are able to buy the line in bulk in say 5 lb spools, it may be cheaper because this fellow has to order it from somewhere. The only mower I come across in my area of Rural Ontario that uses trim line is the larger walk behind trimmer style mower that people use in rougher areas like ditches or something like that. Otherwise they use brush mowers that hang off the 3 point on the rear of tractors. The Australians on their mowers use a central hub with typically 4 flail style blades hanging off of them and they would be a next best thing to actual blades for rougher areas.
Yeah everyone bashes right away. But in places where you don't need manicured results or a lot of debris/hidden roots ECT I would definitely run the string at least the first time to locate issues. Depending on the line cost I could definitely see running this on a beat up mower used for clearing/brush hogging. Or if cutting down a rutted up field, definitely string instead of bashing blades into the dirt all the time. They definitely were not designed to be used as a finishing mower cut. Designed to be in rough ground where things would unalive blades/spindles or even engine cranks.
I will stick to my high lift blades. I could see that system for sandy rocky environment but anything other than that. No I have two trimmers and a brush cutter that can handle the trimming and clearing. Only the best cut quality is customer quality. Don't except anything but the best of the best.
An interesting idea. Maybe this would work better if you could get longer lines and bolt the heads on angled from one another so they overlap/interlock without touching as they spin, that way you aren't leaving mohikans as you go along.

Thanks Chip think I’ll stick with with steel blades
Staying with my blades
One hard rock and all lines get cut . Like what !?????
cool idea but i think i will stick to my medium lift blades.
Great video young man!! I could see where they would be good in places but like you say not for making a nice yard. Thanks for sharing be safe

I'd love to test this out on my walk-behind trimmer mower
I would worry about ruining the motor 😂
Thanks for the video you have saved me money
Don't make fun of my comfort trims 😧😧😧😧
It has its place....manicured lawns are not the place.....nice video
Right you can't replace blades

Goats cut oh eat better 😮

I want to make an attachment for trimming under fences using these. That way i don't shred my fiberglass fence posts.

I think if you were just mowing a field where quality of cut didn’t matter, it would be a better option than nicking up metal blades

I live in the Texas Hill Country where we grow rocks. This would certainly be an alternative to weed eating large amounts of rocky or sandy land.
I’m going to say this would be a pass for me, trimmer line doesn’t cut like a nice sharp blade
I don't have to watch. Trimer line will not work because it will not lift the grass.
BIG TWO THUMBS DOWN! 👎👎
Steel gas and oil is the way F.J.Buma 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You are mowing at 4 inches… might impact the mow quality
I would love to see what this does when replaced with aircraft cable.
