Abstract
An automatic feed system for a trimmer is provided. Such trimmers include a line that can be spun at high speeds to cut vegetation along roadsides or other areas. The automatic feed system is configured to dynamically detect the current length of the line and automatically feed the line to maintain a maximum or desired length for cutting. This length may typically correspond with the radius of a trimmer deck in which the line spins.
