Default Knots and kinks in cables

Thanks for all the advice. I'll see if it will solve the problem
though the cable is quite stiff (not loose as in the video) so it may
not.


Stiff PVC cable is natures way of telling you it's too cold to mow... It
is possible to coil a cable as shown even when it's very stiff, just needs
a bit more persuasion.

I forgot to mention that it would be best to lay the cable out straight,
flat and remove all the knots, kinks and twists the first time you try to
coil it. There is a knack that takes a little while to learn but it's well
worth it.
