Equipment maker Oregon says landscape contractors will see major productivity gains by using its new Gator SpeedLoad Cutting System. The integrated head and disk line system simplifies the replacement of trimmer line – with no winding, spooling or cutting line – reducing replacement time to seconds.
The Gator SpeedLoad Cutting System “was engineered to eliminate the hassle and frustration of winding line onto spools,” says 
The system combines a specially designed trimmer head with a patented line disk. The trimmer head is designed as a solid-body piece, with no loose parts, spools or screws. Oregon says its low-profile design provides better visibility and improved line position for trimming.
The company says its proprietary Gator SpeedLoad trimmer line is its most durable to date, with improved line durability and longer life, as well as sharp edges for cleaner and faster cutting. The line comes pre-wound in small, self-contained disks for easy transport and fast loading.
“Landscape pros who tested the Gator SpeedLoad in the field were able to change out their trimmer line in under 20 seconds,” Marcell said. “And when they tested the trimmer line against concrete, chain link and other rugged surfaces, it proved to be more durable, lasting up to two times longer than competing products.”
The Gator SpeedLoad Cutting System will be available next month. Oregon says it will offer the product in three models that fit more than 95 percent of gas-powered trimmers on the market.
