Default Smaller coils

I think I want to put out the $$$ for a smaller coil to separate trash in the hood. Do you guys recommend the Eclipse 5.3 which is round, or the 4.6 which is elliptical? I'm leaning to the 4.6 thinking it will also cover more ground per swing. I use White's M 6 . Thanks Mark

Hands down the 4x6. The 5.3 goes down a few inches deeper but you want the better separation the 4x6 gives.It really makes it easier in heavy trash.Will also allow you to get closer to metal poles and things that the 5.3 will respond to.Have them both and really like the 4x6 better.

oh boy.... here we go.... lol

I have seen this topic before, because of it I cannot figure out which one really is better as many opinions in regard to these two excellent coils.

Gonna have to watch this thread for sure....

I completly agree here with this. The 4x6 is simply the best choice for you in order to do the job that you wanting at this point.
