Stihl AutoCut 36-2 Trimmer Head + Stihl FS 131 Brush Cutter Cutting Tall Grass

[@ronconstantine2583]

Praise The Lord, thank you David, and may He bless you too

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Thank you Ron!

[@rph247]

God bless you, too! Thanks for the video. I’m looking at trying to my KM-FS 131R to be able to compare it to the Speed Feed 450 (modified to accept 0.130”/3.3 mm silent/twisted line). I tend to favor 0.155”/4 mm, 0.130”/3.3 and 0.105”/2.7 mm over all others.

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Thanks! And thank you for watching! :) The FS-131 is definitely a fighter, I really am amazed of how many things it can while still taking a large beating. I’ve only been using .105 line since I purchased it. Line any smaller just would get eaten away faster then any job would get finished. I have purchased Stihl’s c3 pro line with a diameter of .130, so I look forward to trying that out and see how it works compres to .105.

[@elchicano65]

Just purchased my first 36-2 auto-cut to use on my Stihl fs-460..will run .105 and see the results. Up until now I have only used the brush knife and the saw blade on the 460 beast. Something very gratifying about this work. Peace....

[@golovinpropertyservices]

I didn’t know that head for the 460, that is cool! The .130 line fits in that head as well and works great and light/thicker vegetation.

[@deliverybryan1138]

Just bought the poly cut 28.2 for my Fs 131 trimmer / brush cutter ! Seem to enjoy it already , haven't put it in tall grass yet .

[@boiangiuioncristianboiangi1630]

hello. you are hardworking and sporty . you deserve a stihl 560. you need groves.

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Hi! Thanks! :) I’ll probably be getting one in the future. But right now I have to manage with this FS 131. But I do hope to get a FS 560 one day! :)

[@bobbystewart2605]

Personally, I like the 26-2 as well as my older 25-2 as well. Kinda wanting to get the 40-2 and try it out on my 110r or soon to b purchase 130r. So far the only heads I have used r the speedfeed heads from echo, the 25-2, 25-2 (speed load), 26-2, older manual load echo heads, 36-2, and a flex blade (pivoting blade) brush cutter head. So far, I like them all equally. I have also tried a knockoff supercut 20-2 auto feeder head but it didn’t go to plan bc it was cheaply made. Wanting to try the actual stihl one (supercut) as well.

[@golovinpropertyservices]

I haven’t had as much experience trying new ones. But my choice for the 36-2 was mainly because it held .130 trimmer line which just changed everything. Using the 26-2 I was having to replace the line every 2-3 fuel tanks and it got a little annoying carrying around the line and having it go away. Once I tried the .130 line it just changed everything, I could use one spool for an entire day and it actually cut this canary grass with ease.

[@jennifermiller9866]

I want the original head my stihl came with and it's a 36-2 all the replacement heads cut at a higher level than what comes with the stihl fs 91. I've looked everywhere and can't find 1

[@golovinpropertyservices]

That’s strange, I haven’t had any issues with my current 36-2. It could have been an older version of it. But I can only say good things about this 36-2.

[@melissarodriguez1536]

God Bless you also. 🙏 keep up the good work. Keep your faith and Don't worry about what other people think or say. I started watching 👀 your videos 📹 when I came across a beaver 🦫 dam!! Then I went back and started watching the grass cutting videos. You have a subscribed person for life here, Brother In Christ 🙏 God Bless

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Thanks for watching and supporting Melissa! Have a great day, God bless you!

[@RKPTMcCoyBros]

Got my machine in but supply statics are really bad. So half the order came. Can't find any autocuts locally. So gotta wait

[@golovinpropertyservices]

That is awesome you got yourself a new machine, but that does suck about the supply issues. If you don't mind asking, where area are you located? I'm up in Washington State and we have a good amount of the basic things. For trimmers, anything fancier than an FS-240 has to be ordered, but parts are usually all at hand.

[@RKPTMcCoyBros]

@@golovinpropertyservices Ohio. I was curious on you as well. Was always thinking Carolinas or similar. Wow West coast. Awesome. And yes anything big needed order. Along with the new heads and guards. They did have a 560 though on hand haha

[@golovinpropertyservices]

@@RKPTMcCoyBros Seems that Washington state is sort of the last option frog everyone lol. I’m actually surprised to here they’re having supply issues over in Ohio. I personally haven’t ordered anything that required wait times, so I don’t know what it’s like for bigger machines. I think the “abundant” supply of parts here might also be because they’re not as in demand and it could be old stock. Most people here love the Stihl Chainsaws but everything else is normally not the first option. I was searching for any clearing saw I could find and anytime there’s one that’s used it’s usually 300 miles away from me and it sells within a few days. I’d love to try out a 560, especially because it has twice the power of the 131 and it has all the fancy technology. But maybe in the future

[@RKPTMcCoyBros]

Remember that weight though. One reason I went 460. Plus how big of things will I get into. I'll have either a chainsaw next or the KM series for other jobs and clean up

[@golovinpropertyservices]

@@RKPTMcCoyBros The weight is a big factor, haven’t really considered it much. My thinking is basically in the entire power output. If it’s twice the power I should be able to get 2-3 times the area cut/cleared then with the FS131 which would save 2-3 hours. I’d definitely get the KM with a chainsaw attachment, that thing is actually awesome. If you’re not planning on cutting anything thicker then 4-5 inches for now then the KM with the chainsaw attachment is the way to go.

[@Topper_H4rley]

Hey i have a question, i got a FS131 too, but the Primerbulb gets never full no matter how often i press it, only 1/3 maybe half full, how is yours? The Trimmer runs fine but i wonder maybe mine has a small air leak on the primer circuit. Thanks and have a nice day

[@golovinpropertyservices]

I have the same thing with my FS-131, for both of them actually, I can only recall it being filled up when it’s very cold outside. Apart from that they’re usually at 1/3 full maybe a tad more, but they haven’t been filling up. As long as you aren’t losing power or see any weird things happening it should all be good. Have a good day too! :)

[@svetlifishing580]

What trimmer line you use and what size?

[@douglasperez5952]

I understand that the weed Trimmer has different kinds of head depending the height of the grass? Am i correct?

[@golovinpropertyservices]

It's partially correct. The different sizes of trimmer heads are based on the size of the trimmers motor. In this case, this trimmer head can fit .130 trimmer line, which is not what an average homeowner would be using. An average home owner uses .95 or .105 size line and with a smaller trimmer head. In this case, I need larger line to cut this grass because it's very thick and that requires a larger trimmer head.

[@Thankyou_Kusakari]

I'm using an easy-to-use Autocut 36-2 that has been modified to work with brush cutters other than STIHL.

[@golovinpropertyservices]

I presumed that most trimmer heads are universal? But I’m probably wrong, what other brush cutters do you use?

[@Thankyou_Kusakari]

I wanted the FS460. Not for sale in Japan. I have a shredder guard for the FS560 on my brush cutter. Free blades are used for grass that cannot be crushed with a nylon cord containing metal wire. www.gardenforst.it/shop/decespugliatori/decespugliatori-a-scoppio/decespugliatore-forestale-kawasaki-tj53e-asta-kaaz/ imgur.com/a/KVqMmDm

[@golovinpropertyservices]

@@Thankyou_Kusakari That’s a pretty powerful brush cutter nonetheless. You’ve actually got very interesting content!

[@Thankyou_Kusakari]

Thank you very much. Nylon cord with metal wire Square type For grass that cannot be crushed with 3 mm, use free blades. Makita's MUR012GZ has been released. I'm not a professional so I don't buy it, but I think the low rev torque is the best in the world.

[@golovinpropertyservices]

@@Thankyou_Kusakari I do have a few grass blades, I just can’t use them all the time since in some areas there are trees hidden in the tall grass. I haven’t seen or heard of anyone owning any Makita brush cutters in this area. Most of it is either Stihl, echo, or cheaper Chinese brands.

[@gregwright6565]

What are the benefits in using this string head and not the mulching blade in your other videos? I guess thin grass will decompose easy enough and doesn't need to be mulched? Just got a Fs-131 and was using a Kurt-Saw blade to clear a bunch of saplings and grasses. Loved it!

[@golovinpropertyservices]

This area has trees and saplings that are usually blocked by all the tall grass. When you're using a mulching blade it goes a lot faster, but it's usually too late to see the mulched up saplings. The string works pretty good and breaks it down more then a mulching blade would.

[@channelqu]

nice sharing sir..

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Thank you very much! 😁

[@darianmalcom7014]

The 46-2is amazing

[@golovinpropertyservices]

I think the 46-2 is even a little bit bigger then the 36-2. I didn’t expect the trimmer head to be that large. But the 36-2 is the largest AutoCut the FS 131 can support according to factory standards.

[@darianmalcom7014]

@@golovinpropertyservices yes the 46-2 is very big but works awesome yes the auto cut they look so big at times I ask the dealer if it wont be too heavy for the machine but once u reall work it seems normal very good glad too see you get a 36-2

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Yes I think that the size allows more momentum for the head which keeps it spinning easier, what’s interesting is that when I held both of the trimmer heads they had basically the same weight but the sizes were different.

[@darianmalcom7014]

@@golovinpropertyservices I think sthil is really doing a good job with the cutter head yes the newer one they are making much lighter too not put strain on the machine I guess

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Yeah it makes sense. But I really like this new design. Seems that being wider has a lot more advantages in then being my packed into a smaller space. I also wanna try out a PolyCut trimmer head to see how that works out. But right now gonna be experimenting with this AutoCut and different size trimmer lines

[@darianmalcom7014]

Are u cutting for a customer or just for yourself?

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Hey Darian, this is for a customer. As much as I enjoy nature, I couldn’t afford to do something like this :p

[@benjaminleslie3155]

I prefer some commentary 👍 Edit: also, maybe some time in the future give the echo SRM-410U or redmax BCZ400SW a try.

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Thanks for the feedback Benjamin! :) I’ll take both those brush cutters into consideration. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

[@rph247]

@Ben, I can honestly say, if the 410U has been made to replace/imitate Shindaiwa’s B450 - still available in Latin America - you will NOT be disappointed! Mine is older than my 19 year old daughter and it is still my favorite toy - and I can talk great about the FS 240 and FS 560! Heck, I would try the 410U in a heartbeat if someone invites me to. I tried the Rednax at a store years back, however, it’s harness is a no no for me so I desisted the idea yet wouldn’t mind trying with a different harness like a Stihl Advance Universal - provided with the FS 560 - or Husqvarna Balance XT - my favorite one! Hope this helps. Happy heavy trimming time!

I have the FS 131r and it’s definitely a beast

[@golovinpropertyservices]

@@joshuavanhoozer1518 What do you think about the regular grip? Have you tried out a bike handle grip before?

[@joshuavanhoozer1518]

I’ve actually never used one like yours

[@golovinpropertyservices]

@@joshuavanhoozer1518 Yeah it seems that in the states they’re not as popular. But depending on what kind of trimming work you do they are back savers. If you’ve got a 131r you’re probably most likely cutting down some thicker brush. I know personally for me when I use a regular handle trimmer I always have to lean forward and put my weight on one leg more then another and it ends up placing lots of tension on one side of my lower back. What I’m doing in the video, wouldn’t have been possible if I was using a regular handle, because it would just be too much tension on the lower back for a long period of time.

[@efrenvenegas3346]

The 36 2 trimmer head or like 40 or 50 or 60 dollars i perfe the trex 1000 for stihl you can put 80 to the 155 size in its only like 50 dollars

[@golovinpropertyservices]

I have looked at the Trek 1000 before, but I didn't know the size of the trimmer line goes up to .155, I'll have to take another look at it. Thanks for sharing Efren!

To heck with the trimmer get a brush hog

[@golovinpropertyservices]

A brush hog would be great, the only problem is there is no way to get it into this area I’m working at. There is one but it’s used for different areas that are accessible, as the trees grow and then certain events occur (like flooding due to beaver activity) it makes it harder and harder to do certain work. Some day I hope to make a few purchases and get some heavy duty equipment. But for now it’s just the trimmer :)

[@boiangiuioncristianboiangi1630]

you need a stronger brushcutter

[@golovinpropertyservices]

I’m thinking of upgrading soon. Do you have any recommendations?

[@jennifermiller9866]

The fs 91 does that kinda job easy and doesn't work you to death, I would know my fiance does this for a living and he says the stihl fs 91 and the stihl fs 1100 is a beast

[@weldonmcgaha1667]

I want to encourage you to make videos BUT with Improved Thought-out Presentation - Size Differences; you compared the flanges NOT the Sizes of the Bodies Nor the amount of line each might contain nor the maximum line diameters, nor the Purpose of the Larger Diameter Flange-Cover, neither the differences in Accessing the Spools. I Hope you Improve your presentations.
