I ended up using a piece of an old rifle sling to extend mine so I could get it down to a reasonable height.

Also, the reason you are getting the burns on your arm is because you are holding it to far forward and high, the back of the engine should be behind the bend and below your elbow by a couple of inches. The strap will help with this because you won't have to keep your right arm all tensed up to hold it, the weight is taken on your shoulders. If you put a strap on it the weedeater should be almost balanced when you aren't touching it, you want just a little extra weight towards the back so that the front will come up on it's own when you let go with your hands. This way you don't hold the cutter head up as much as down so it's less likely to dig in. I did this for about 8 years solid going through college and high school and having it properly strapped and balanced makes a huge difference.<br /><br />KrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-668724761102832510.post-32759627634670753502013-03-14T10:44:28.578-04:002013-03-14T10:44:28.578-04:00We have really old fencing on the border of our pr...We have really old fencing on the border of our property.
