I understand that the more serious units are not nylon but thin steel 
wire of square (?) profile. Also there is a little reel of wire in the 
hub and when the outer part gets too short you pull out more. It has 
been a few years since I saw these, and they were not tractor mounted. I 
was told you can trim dry wood with the steel wire (!)
