Hi there from Australia Love the old 5-2 wasn’t a fan of the replacement, but didn’t know about auto feeder part. You could always fit the 2.4 (0.95) in the FS38/45 The FS45-C have the easy start, pull lightly to start. The downfall is the price of the replacement nuts when worn out, feeding the line in isn’t Gard. We don’t have FS50 in Australia but the FS85 has been discontinued in Australia.

[@silencedmatrix2140]

FS85 was a great unit! Those were discontinued a while ago in the States. Also, PLEASE commercial users, do not buy any of these 3 units and expect them to last!

[@rickthelian2215]

@@silencedmatrix2140 has a look today we have FS 70, FS91, and FS 94c at the lower end of the range. The FS70 doesn’t have the grease Nipple on the gearbox as they where discontinued on the FS55 but on FS85 and above. They no longer have the 20-2 head on them they have moved to the new style. I’d suggest the. Home user to go for the FS91 or higher.

[@mainstreetmower]

I never tried putting 2.4 (.095) in the 5-2 thanks for that. There was an easy feed style head before this newer C6-2 that the line didn’t pass all the way through and it wasn’t any good, the new one here is a dramatic improvement.

[@rickthelian2215]

@@mainstreetmower fits fine the twisted line is a little challenging, shorter length in spool and lasts longer. Like the Shakespeare Ugly Line 😀🇦🇺

[@robbyotero7256]

Dnt get the fs50 the head piece that comes with it is effin b.s.

[@lazarusblackwell6988]

A word of advice for all people that are going to trimm their garden. Cut the entire yarn of line into 3 or 4 meter long pieces. That way you will save a lot of time and some nerves trying to unwind the yarn of line. It will be much quicker to spool the trimmer head that way.

[@mainstreetmower]

That's great advice.

I bought a used Stihl FS45C 12-15 years ago and still going strong. It came with precut head that use 8" trimmer line. I am tire of changing trimmer line and want to change to Autocut head. Does anyone has good recommend? Do I need to buy a bolt that hold new trimmer head? If yes, what is the size or part number?

[@mainstreetmower]

Good to know your STIHL has been good for you for so long. Here's another little video we did on the best trimmer head options including the speed feed. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHrVY6djl66das0

[@gareththomas6714]

hello -do the polycut blades have to kept in water before use? many thanks

[@lazarusblackwell6988]

I used C 6 2 just today. I ran out of line so i tried to put a new line on but something was jamming it so i opened it up and saw that there was some line left on the spool so thats why i couldnt guide the line through both holes. So i got rid of the remaining default line and changed the line just like it is said in the instructions. Still i had to open the C 6 2 head to get rid of the old line. Still it was worth getting the new head. Not perfect but worth it.

[@mainstreetmower]

That's awesome insight. Thank you for sharing. I a m sure it will be helpful to other watchers of the channel.

[@lazarusblackwell6988]

@@mainstreetmower Thanks for the comment.Appreciate it.

[@cowgirl.4363]

Yes, you often find you haven't run out of line, it's just snapped off, so you do have to open it, pull out the old line and do it up, put it back in, especially when you're on gravel or against a fence.

[@billbaber6653]

I have c 40 they say don’t use .095 seems to work ok.

[@Nono-rh4lr]

That poly cut looks interesting.

[@mainstreetmower]

Oh yeah! It’s really nice

[@manuhonkanen2111]

I have it and I am not going back to the string! 🎉

[@jameswyeth8223]

the C6-2 is a good head but it jams up when used on longer wet grass. which drives me mad. Ryobi were the first to make this tYpe of head and it was excellent.

[@mainstreetmower]

That's great to know. Thank you for sharing James.

[@paulmorrey4298]

Thanks

[@bobbystewart2605]

Do the make a poly for the straight shaft? Or just these?

[@mainstreetmower]

Yes watch this kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHrVY6djl66das0

[@Mattslawnmaintenance]

tried putting a speed speed on my stihl fs46 didnt work.

[@rawlstonm97]

Did you ever find one, I cant find shit for the fs46.

[@styledliving]

it’s dumb that the poly cut 28-2 can’t have a blade change without taking off the whole assembly off.

[@mainstreetmower]

I feel your frustration.
