These Wear out much quicker than the 25-2. for me twice as fast. Since i can no longer get the old one, i will be trying out some different brands as i dont want to give my money to stihl as they are clearly profiteering by making consumables more consumable

[@alexchristian2159]

this is exactly what im doing,i bought genuine stihl,it didnt make it to two hours...as far as im concerned its stihl branded stihl priced chinese crap so im looking at husky stuff now.i dont mind paying the money,ive been a stihl fan for many years but the stuff you buy now is no different to the generic cheap chinese crap on ebay at a third of the price.

[@Evanx373]

I like the husky t35 heads. I cant wind a speed feed well because it hurts my hand and the t35 is the fastest loading non twist head.

[@Tonedog88]

The Stihl Autocut 26-2 came stock on my FS56RC. My first order of business was to replace it with a normal Speed Head 400 when I noticed the Autocut added to much weight to my trimmer that it actually felt like I'd mounted a blade. I expect that on a blade, but a string trimmer head? I weighed the 26-2 and the Speed Head. The 26-2 was over 5 ounces heavier (1.1lb to 11oz) than the Speed Head. The Speed Head works perfectly--the Autocut is in storage.

[@fillslawncareplus]

Good info to know. Thank you

[@rocknral]

I just changed over to Stihl as I wanted a lighter machine. But the 350 heads I use ( being light) don't fit as the thread is a different pitch. Did you have to change the hardware on the 400 to get it to fit ?

[@Tonedog88]

The 400 heads are ubiquitous on Amazon and Ebay, and I've seen them cost less than $10, but usually around #20, and they come with the necessary hardware to fit Stihl and Echo trimmers.

[@roberthutchins3435]

I Glued A Large Galv. Flat Washer To Spool Bump Head And It Works Well...No More Wear Problem...Use Strong Glue

[@CT9905.]

the Stihl auto cut 26-2 is for quick line refeeding, as a contractor it save me time and less additional spool head's to carry.

[@stephenparchewski1998]

I’m contemplating throwing an Echo speed feed head on my KM130R. The only thing is, the 25-2 is compact and tough as hell. Not sure if upgrading the head is really worth it because 20+ feet of .105 line lasts a long time in a 25-2…and they aren’t that hard to reload. Thoughts?

[@irbyboy2342]

I run a km 131r i do a lot of commercial work so I've modified my 25-2 head to run 130 and 155 when I'm doing a property that has small trees trying to grow thick grass and sticky briars the 95 and 105 just doesn't cut it the 130 and 155 also works well for edging

[@Abijah12411]

The sound was identical. The ease for opening it is nice. The printed indicator is nice to thread the right line into it. I think it's worth the extra 2$

[@quinnman1973]

@Laura Street I agree with your comments

Speed Feed 400 is the ultimate way to go!! Thanks for the videos!

[@user-mx1qt7yz3t]

Great videos can't believe your not using speed feed trimmer heads

[@jnj2233]

I’m a Stihl guy and I’m a speed feed guy. Just $aves on time and ease of mind. I’ve purchased the Tri-clone TREX 1000 and it’s going good so far! Great vid reviewing the new Stihl head! Probably gonna pick one up soon just to test out.

[@davidmorgan9245]

Just bought the new one. Informative video. Thanks!

[@joelewis4336]

Is it okay that the .105 or 2.7 line slots don’t line up when assembling spool to the actual head? Help

[@user-uy2ql5xd2z]

こんにちは、C27−2はまだ日本では未発表なのでとても参考になりました。 今はC36-2を使用しているので、軽いのは気になるので購入できる時には、参考にします。

[@HOOKEM2024]

Have you ever used speed feed?

[@adammcalpine231]

One of these came factory on my FS131R. I wanted to like it because it appears to be made really robust, and obviously it fits my stihl trimmer the best because it's OEM, but you really have to beat it against the ground to get more line to come out. Wasn't a big fan, I switched to an echo speedfeed.

[@valeriepasbrig742]

During the sound test, I didn't hear any difference really. As for pushing those tabs, your current ones are very used. Bet the new design does the same thing when it's been used for a while. I'm hoping they don't discontinue your current one. I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@kyleknight8267]

When I had to replace the head on my trimmer attachment I replaced it with the C-26-2 thought it was great at first, but I'm not as crazy for it, it seems like STIHL trying to create their version of Echo/Shindaiwa's Speed Feed head

[@lynettetucker544]

Thanks for sharing the video I didn’t notice any difference between the two good two know 💚✨

[@marktubeie07]

Couldn't hear a difference in noise level either Fill - big plus with having half a chance of removing the head now with your thumbs instead of a tool, a big time saver. Great update!

[@aussiecro.]

I got one of these with the FS-KM trimmer attachment for my KM131R kombisystem from Stihl...biggest issue...the line keeps getting wound back in/dropped off/shortened after short usage....went to the dealer who advised that it was a known issue with Autocut 27-2 and suggested to use the Autocut 25-2 as it was tried and ture...did that and had exactly the same issue. Both brand new heads in question....the Autocut 27-2 is a lot easier to open as opposed to the 25-2, that is true,,,,wonder if I am alone with these line problems...

[@darwindropmazda]

26-2 is the best head for any Stihl in my opinion

[@aux1z11]

I just got th fs251 and it came with the head with the white on it going to try out some 105 line

[@danz0007]

Speed feed 400 or 450 for the higher power units are the way to go

[@macheneclothing]

I like the 26-2😂

[@markstanfield4345]

Have you ever tried the echo 400 speed feed head ?

[@mikenotta7079]

BEST THERE IS, hands down!

[@thurm101]

25-2 for me. I am a simple guy.

[@craigdavis1503]

I run stihl trimmers but I think I will stay with the echo speed feed head

[@archie7012]

Since you seem to have tested a lot of different trimmer lines - are there any real differences?

[@Southernreliablelawncare]

I’m a 26-2 kind of guy, curious to see how the 27 does though

[@rogerbrandt6678]

Thanks for the video.

[@vice4134]

The push in feature doesn't matter to me. Because I always have my cutter with me and I use the end of the handle to open it. Well, what's result of your experience??? I thought you would be giving us the answer now. Two thumbs down!!!

[@lindabrewer3243]

I did not hear any difference at all. As a woman, the new one would be so much easier for me to open up. Thanks for the video. God bless.

[@rawsonreich]

Question do you still have a gas trimmer or did you sell it

[@yalitzalopez5752]

The Sthil auto cut from FS 55 r Is the beat quality ever they dont make them anymore 😢

[@Mak_ol]

You don't use a protective cover??

[@ouarkie]

The spool is interchangeable between the 2. The 27-2 is what is coming on Stihl gas powered weed eaters now. That’s what a Stihl dealer told me anyway.

[@mitch58100]

Yes, I just bought the FS70R and the 27-2 is standard, thinking of switching it out for something else though.

[@ryanrector3053]

Do you like speed feed

[@mowing-lab]

日本では、27-2は発売されません。欲しいけど、発売まで待つしかありません。 FSA135Rも発売を待っているところです。

[@ltrillium1000]

You need to learn to not just describe the chnages, but what the changes mean. If the changes don't make the product work differently, then why change?

[@knightimusprime25]

personally id rather just stick with the old tried and true 25-2 even if it is a pain in the ass to open up for awhile lol

[@troybalster3687]

Will probably discontinue the old one and change over to the new one. Thats the way with everything change it a bit and stop making the old ones.

[@bowesman1000]

why would anyone torment themselves and continue to use this age old poorly designed head? better yet why doesn't stihl just give in and pay the royalties and include the speedfeed head on their products. it makes no sense. if you have limited hand function such as neuropathy, this autocut head will anger you.
