New STIHL AutoCut C 26-2 - Review and Analysis

[@tommypotter5761]

Do You soak your new line in a bucket of water (12 to 24 hours b4 use) as recommended in the Stihl instructions that come with the head. Do you think this makes a difference in the performance of the line?

[@roseknott2832]

Game changer for me. I started keeping my line in a covered container with water.

[@creepycraig73]

One thing I'm noticing with this head is how much line I'm not wasting. Had mine for 6 months and still have yet to run out of the line that came with it.

Everything worked Just as you said it would. So easy-to-use. I didn’t even take the spool off the trimmer, just pushed the line through the hole after lining it up and then evened the line up and started to crank the head as showen on your video. All together it took about 3 to 5 minutes and I was back to trimming again. Thanks for the helpful video. 👍 👏

[@mainstreetmower]

That's awesome. Enjoy your trimmer :)

Nice video. Terrible head though, just upgraded to the FS-56rc from the fs-55r and immediately went and bought the 25-2c head for it. Within no lie 5 mins of using the 26-2 head the line “welded” itself together causing me to take my brand new Stihl trimmer apart to fix.

[@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.

[@terrycruise-zd5tw]

yeah i immedaitely noticed that too when i replaced it with a speedfeed 400 lol. its so much lighter its easier to handle and i think it cuts better due to being lighter since the motor can spin the lighter head faster and easier

[@Goodellsam]

5 oz, lmao. Maybe you need to work out.

[@robertfhurley7518]

I just purchased the Stihl FS 56 trimmer with the auto cut head that you show in the video. I have brought it back to where I’ve purchased it twice. Here’s my issue. When I am using the trimmer IM having to tap the head too often to extend the line. I get about 6 to 10 feet of trimming and the line is disappearing inside of the head. I do hold my trimmer upright most of the time in my yard to edge my mulch beds. The last trimmer I had for 15 years was an echo and I only had to bump it 2 or 3 times to extend the line in the 45 minutes that it takes me to do my yard . This trimmer seems like it is very well-made but I am confused as to why am I losing the string so fast. Thank you

[@style5tie]

Soak the head in some water for 24 hours or so before using. See if that helps. It sounds like the line that's in the head is dried out and brittle. The head itself isn't causing the line to wear/break faster.

[@TheMillieruby]

Iv got the same problem Im going through.heaps.of line and having to replace every 5 yards of work

[@brianlopez8196]

I just got this head and i hated it at first but after using it for a week i think its the best one ive ever used i never use the auto load yet always manually loaded it

Try soaking your line in water. I had the same problem until I started doing that.

[@mattwainwright7179]

[@stephenl2020]

Bought my fs 131 acouple days ago, all settup from the dealer, soaked the line like recomended and it is unusable, welded broken line in the spool, have to continually take it apart to respool it, think the problem may be the line.

[@PEIMilner]

I got one. The string would not advance when bumped. I had to rewrap the string before it would work. The string was bound so tightly as if fused, there was no way it could have advanced.

[@jamesaffleck4192]

I bought one of these with my weed eater. It kinda sucks. It was always a bit of a challenge pushing and spinning the head to load the string. Then it just got more brittle and harder and harder to do over time. It would also get twisted and I'd have to open it up 2-3 times and redo the line before I even made it through a length of line. I replaced it today with a shindaiwa 400 head and so far it's way easier to deal with.

[@CudaGuy-be5kz]

I just put this head on my Stihl 56RS. I hated the old head and had issues with it throwing the string out. After I put this head on I used it for about 3 feet and the string broke off inside the head. Had to take it apart to get it back out the feed channels. Same thing again in 3-4 feet. Thought maybe the string was old and it had been on the shelf or something for a while so put new Stihl string on it. The knob is extremely hard to turn while loading it. String would not feed again. Any suggestions? POS or something else?

[@mainstreetmower]

The knob is hard to turn, but we have not found any issues with breaking line. The new line should have fixed the problem. I would guess if you were having problems with the old head too, it’s likely what or how you are trimming. Edging with a line trimmer and chain link fences are big line eaters. Also you want to operate with the line at full length and cut with the tips of the line. If you are diving in too quickly on vegetation that is too thick it will wrap around the trunks like Indiana Jones whip and yank it off at the eyelet. If all else fails, take it to your dealer and let them test run it for you to see if they can duplicate your results

[@CudaGuy-be5kz]

@@mainstreetmower Thanks for the follow up. I do not have any chain link or trees. Only using it on fescue against a brick and stone fence. Use an edger for the sidewalks. I dont think it has anything to do with how I am using it but I do like the idea of letting the dealer run it some. Thanks again.

[@shabadoo24]

We use Stihl line, Echo line, Milwaukee or Husqvarna line. Sometimes any brand snaps off inside the casing.

[@melissarowell1503]

I love how easy it is to load the string. But the string still gets hung. I seems like it gets a little warm and sticks to the rest of the roll. Also when I give my trimmer the gas, it feels like there is a wobble in the motor. Its brand new, but I've been using it a lot. Is there something I should check?

[@zimojin5341]

I heard that this model of mowing line, as long as it hits the ground when starting the machine, the mowing line will automatically extend without manual work. I tried several times without success, could you please demonstrate?

That's a good topic. Thank you for sharing. We will definitely put something together about that.

[@energizedlawncarellc1091]

I'm running .095 on it with my Kma 135r battery Stihl trimmer. I like it but find it much wider than standard heads. I wanted it because my ryobi 40v has it standard, but in the regular size. But overall, it's easy to use and definitely saves time.

[@mikehoward5247]

I bought a new FS56 and the line about half way through was bound up inside and has to be taken apart to unbind it.

[@scotthenry3401]

I find most bump feeds work best at full revs to release line, if its not spinning fast enough the spool doesnt have enough force to slip around and counter the force of the spring

[@Saxondog]

They have a flat base so tend not to rock and dig the strimmer cord into the grass. I've never had problems with it feeding line either...but what I do find amazing is nobody complains about the difficulty of loading line on it . After a few hours strimming, my hands are too weak to twist the bloody thing.😢

[@johnchampion7819]

The main problems with these spools is that they don't release line when bumped. your video would have been a lot more worthwhile if you'd actually tested the head. I have a C 6 - 2 and, like a lot of people, I am not impressed with it.

[@mjcpiano6936]

i'm in here looking for reviews, cus I hate it. It's breaking off constantly and it breaks off inside the head pretty much every time. did you find a solution or did you just get a new head?

[@johnchampion7819]

The jury's still out. I haven't use it much lately, but I have very little faith that it will improve. I think Stihl have a bad product here. If I buy again, it'd try for a different Stihl head. One of the comments below rates the Stihl 2-2 bump. Maybe the old is better than the new.

It's caused my shaft to bend I've had to hit it so often I wish I'd never got the thing! My old SuperCut 20-2 head lasted 2 decades and was awesome.

HI I have a Stihl fs55RC trimmer. it has the old style winding 2 pieces cord into 2 feeds manually. This model has a steel plate between the winder and the unit stem. Once I remove the manual feeder unit I also remove the metal plate. Then the protruding cog and screw is not compatible with the trimmer, and if I replace the metal plate, add the c26-2 unit ,the trimmer does not spin when started. Any ideas on how to install this unit correctly? Is it compatible with the fs55RC? thanks Barb
