Tanaka.

They don't come with those from the factory do they? If not, how difficult is Tanaka's standard setup? Does anyone here use the attachment linked above, that only seems to use only one string length at a time?

Because I have to say that does look pretty easy.

those heads may take less time per time to reload, but keep in mind, you're loading them 6 inches of line at a time, so that time adds up over the 15-20 feet you would normally load on a bump or speed feed head. you also will have more waste. I don't know about you, but once I use up the first half/two thirds of the line, I have to bump more out to get what I want from the line. that means 4-6 inches wasted per loading of 6" lengths (2 per loading). times 15 feet is 60-90 inches wasted over the course of 15 feet, or 80-120 over 20 feet. the time adds up, too, because you have to keep stopping to reload the head.

That's true, even if it weren't slower, one length at a time is not an efficient use of string.
