Thank you sir, The first and only video that shows you can load line with head attached by alignment of scribed line on feed head and line feed holes, great video, works great on my new {2021 model}, FS 56 RC, keep up the great work!
Exactly what I needed. Just bought a brand new FS 56 equipped with this exact Autocut head. I only used it twice but it stopped feeding the line all of a sudden. For some reason, the line was all mangled and completely jammed on the spool. Whoever did it at the store screwed it up I suppose. But anyway, once I finally got the line free, I installed it properly in no time thanks to Josh’s video. That helped a lot. Thank you!
Thank you. To my absolute amazement, after watching you do it, I was able to replace my line on the first try. Btw-- this was the third video on how to do this I watched-- actually dumped out of the other two early because they were confusing. You weren't and I thank you again.
Great tutorial, well done, and you actually made it interesting as well as fun, with the goats playing and the RC mower in the back being herded by the dog. I am a new Stihl trimmer owner (56) and have owned a Stihl saw for years, very happy with both.
Appreciate the video I have the Auto-Cut C26-2 I have a tough time with the Auto-Cut feature. I'll edge one-sided of the drive-way and then have to stop and extend the wire because it's shortened. Is there a way for a continuous cut while I edge? Question:
Great trimmer head and it fits a Stihl without that dumb spacer and the cut off bar matches the trimmer line unlike the echo speed feed take care my friend hope to see you at Expo
You make it look so easy, I have never been able to get the string to go straight through the other side. I find myself still having to take apart to get it through then I can wind it up by hand. Its frustrating cause im usually hot and tired from weed eating. Any ideas of what im doing wrong, everything was lined up and should have worked.
You need only to alline the groove on the bump side of the head with the hole, then insert the trimmer line, the line don't have to be straight to go to the other side, just keep feedind the line untill you see that came out on the other side. Mine never got stuck in the head when i inserted it
Hey, I found it! Thanks Josh. Good thing you told me to search “Carlsmower rewind” because I couldn’t find it on your main RUclips page. Maybe because I’m an old fart.
I thought this would help me ,my line always get tangled but the same thing happens with this one. when I took it apart it was on the top no string on the bottom. I took it apart again worked second time but still I have to take it apart because the string got stuck inside.
I had that Stihl for a while but after a little use the bottom gets a little rounded making it extremely difficult to rewind new line in the head. The Stihl dealers don't even recommend them. Just got the NEW Stihl autocut 27.2 which makes some much needed improvements over their original bump head but you still need to know how to reload string yourself. If you are really into the self feeding heads I would get the Speedfeed head, I believe its made by Shindawia and they make a universal kit to retro fit many weedeaters. I just can't recommend the 26.2 autocut head, they need to go back to the drawing board on that one.
Doesnt come out on the other side with everything lined out... But the black part of the inside is in two parts, top not attached to part that holds the wire
This is a horrible product. I absolutely have had nothing but problems with Stihl. I’ve made the switch to Echo and the speed feed heads they have are far superior
@@Sigurd651 I did landscaping for 2 yrs. When put to the test and doing multiple properties the head would jam up a lot and not feed the line. It can’t handle getting too dirty. I didn’t have time to be cleaning it up after every 1 or 2 jobs. My echo speed feed heads can go all day every day and always feed the line. Not only that they are a lot easier to feed the line through as well.

It's in the manual....
Your demo was better than Stihl’s. Thank you!!! Saved me so much time!
Best demo, easy and fast explained.
Omg 😲
I was trying to load mine by hand all day and it wasn't feeding properly. This video made my day. Thanks 🍻
Isn’t that frustrating. I’m glad this helped you out. Once you get it 😀
I just added one to my FS-KM trimmer and it works flawlessly.
This head is proving itself a winner

I got this head on my FS 131 R that I bought brand new. Just another model to add to the quiver of applications from Stihl.
Just bought a Stihl FS 56. Thank you for your excellent videos on this trimmer.

Thank you for video was trying to figure out with other videos, but yours was the best appreciate it.
Turn those goats loose in your yard and you won't have to worry about loading trimmer line ever again. 🙂 Thanks for an informative video!
Thanks a lot ....Greetings from Spain (Barcelona)
Very informative, quick and to the point, thank you!
Very helpful. my trimmer did not come with these instructions.
This was awesome. Thanks for the tutorial! Helped me big time.
Appreciate the video

Thanks works great on my FS 70 R
Have one on my km131 trimmer. Love it but I saw they are releasing one just like this head but it has a metal bottom that protects the bumper.
The AutoCut 27-2 will have that option. But it does require disassembly to load.

Danke für das VIDEO ,gut erklärt
I’ve been struggling to put new trimmer line in my fs55rc trimmer That’s the best easy to follow Instruction Thank you wally
Fabulous explanation
Thanks for taking the time tompost this very helpful
Happy to help
thank you for this video, it saved my day!
Great video! Love the goats 😁
Thank you!
Doesnt come out on the other side with everything lined out... But the black part of the inside is in two parts, top not attached to part that holds the wire
Fit an FS100RX?
thank ya
What size of trimmer line is best?
Stihl really should have added something to keep that spring fixed.
What line came out of that head? Didn’t look like stihl line to me 🤷🏻
Vortex twist line came out
@@Carlsmower must be not available in Australia I’m a stihl dealer and haven’t.
@@benfairhall5331 The line came out of it was not Stihl branded line.
@@Carlsmower that’s why I’ve never heard of it. Cheers mate.
Do you soak your trimmer line in water for 12 to 24hours before use?
hahahaha I was wondering when you would notice 1:20 2:16 😂
Smooth😜
Could I say it was for the show?
@@Carlsmower well, you did recover by making a point of it. 👍
Would this head work with the Stihl FS91R?
Absolutely! Fits most all Stihl straight shaft trimmers (not the huge clearing saws)
@carlsmowerandsaw, thanks for your reply. I need this so I don’t have to manually restring 😂😂😂
Yes. Just added one on mine today.
@@anonymousperson2287 in Australia the 91s and 131s come standard with them!
I have all but quit using 2 of my Stihl trimmers because of the heads.
So put on a 25-2? Or a Duro-cut?
This is a horrible product. I absolutely have had nothing but problems with Stihl. I’ve made the switch to Echo and the speed feed heads they have are far superior
Tell me what happened, i haven't got any problems yet.

@@mikelopez4846 i dont use EGO, but have you tried it ?
Lot of BS going on here....find a more informative video
That line is actually too small for that head it calls for .095 or .105
Good lesson learned thanks
