Trimmer Plate Stops Grass From Wrapping

Trimmer Plate Stops Grass From Wrapping CROPS Weed Control Glen Buxengard has the answer for grass wrapping around a trimmer shaft His slotted cutter plate replaces the line cutting guard and solved a problem for Buxengard “I was cutting grass 12 to 14 in high and it would wind up around the shaft ” he recalls “I had to stop every 3 or 4 ft to clean it away ” His solution was to cut a 5-in dia disc out of 1/8-in steel with a hole in the center to match the mounting end of the shaft He cut slots about halfway to the center and turned them up at the edges “When the long grass starts to wind the slots cut it again ” says Buxengard “It prevents 99 percent of the grass from winding up on the shaft ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Glenn Buxengard 129 3rd Ave SW Spring Grove Minn 55974 ph 507 498-3263
