Upon my request and suggestion, STIHL in 2019/2020 updated the spring tension mechanism. It is the same heavy-duty gauge spring but it has been tweaked to now only have 3 coils instead of 5. It is now much easier to load right out of the box and there is now NO break-in time as there was with the original heavy-duty spring. I highly recommend this trimmer head, it is well designed, heavy-duty in quality, and all-around better-made construction, and you get a much more precise cut. 👍🏻
You have a part number for the inner bump piece by chance?
Thanks for posting video on restringing head, it was a lot of help.
I must have lucked out on my Autocut C-26-2 head. Disassembled then reassembled it. Took off the head, examined it, put it back on. I de-spooled the line, then re-spooled it. Never had a problem with it not feeding when bumped.
Thanks for posting this video. I had the hardest time trying to load the string. I was steady taking it apart and installing it. I prefer the other fast feed but this will do for now. 👍
Thanks... again! Will save your video for future reference

I like the head works well. The one thing I made was a U-Shaped tool to help with winding. It really saves the fingers. Also I have shortened the 0.105 line to a max of 18 feet. It works better in the head while winding.
Very interested in seeing said tool for winding. Very hard on my hand sometimes.
Awesome Video, short, sweet and to the point. Worked great for me, reloaded my trimmer head in about 3 minutes. Thank you!
So glad to hear that!
Oh this is so easy! Was trying to do it the hard way... Thanks!
I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.
I have 3 of these heads for my strimmer.. But I alsow have the efco speed feed head and let me tell you.. Take a look at them verry good and ezy to load..
Brilliant design and so easy to use! love my new Stihl FS55
Thanks for the positive feedback!
There should be a nut on bottom to use cordless drill to wind string
That’s a good idea!
These should come standard on all straight shaft trimmers
I just purchased an FC50 CE trimmer new from a dealer, and in the instruction manual it had me cutting two separate lengths of line as if my trimmer head was a c 25 even though it's very clearly a c 26. Confused the hell out of me for a while when it wouldn't advance any string.
Thanks for sharing and clarifying. The trimmer head winding instructions are also offered separately incase the head being used is different then the one in the instruction manual. You can view these instructions anytime at bit.ly/2SDvSPT
I had this same problem and it was so frustrating! But this video helped me a lot!
I got one today...I wanted to see how it was to load it ...I took the preloaded string out...man that was tough..that stuff tangled like mad...but i am very pleased with it it wound the string up fairly easy we will see
Thanks yiu just saved my life on this hot day
Extremely helpful video .
I took the remainder of the orange .095 line out of the head of my new FS-56RCE after I had put about a half a tank of gas through my new weedeater this morning and replaced it with the tougher orange and black trimmer line from Stihl. I guess it took me 15. Minutes to get the old line out and the new line in and that included blowing out the spool and cleaning off the guard byremoving all the grass clippings.
Let's hope it is that easy when I do it. I bought one of these recently and my only complaint is that stupid little cowl. Since using this trimmer I have been covered in the trimmings as it just does not shield you properly. In fact, I have cut up a plastic oil bottle to augment the titchy cowl. Why Stihl cannot provide a decent sized cowl is beyond me- my previous machines had an adequate one. As currently designed, this trimmer is the tick spreader par excellence.
NickRatnieks I totally agree with you. I get plastered with clippings!
I had no idea and dismantle mines. How to realign the inner part?
This is really easy to restring… WHEN IT IS NEW!! Please demonstrate how it works after 20 hours of use. I feel like I just went to the gym after I restring mine. Any advice? Grease it somewhere, or do something else other than tearing it down and cleaning everything and putting it through a WD40 wash?
Little bit of sand paper?
How do you disassemble this head?
Does this head fit the FS100RX?
my C 26-2 line will not feed straight in and out; it starts to feed round the internal spool. Arrows aligned with groove. In the video looks like the line goes in then out at other side. Whats wrong with my head? It doesnt look damaged internally
Hello Richard,
With the arrows aligned you should be able to see through the small hole and out the other side. If you can't then something is blocking it (grass, trimmer line, dirt......etc) or could be damaged. If you can't see any types of blockage then you could remove the spool to further inspect. If you have any further questions send us a message on Facebook and we would be glad to go over it further with you!
@@stihlusa Thank you very much for your reply, After viewing another video about manually rewinding. I took it apart. Although I could not see any blockage in the holes clearly there must have been something as I then was able after reassembly; to wind the line without any problem. I am impressed by the design, and greatly impressed that you replied providing an answer to my problem.
We love hearing things like this! Thanks for sharing and if you have any other questions let us know!
Super!👍👍👍👍👍
Very helpful god bless
What type of STIHL gloves is shown in the video ?
Thank you for your question these are the bit.ly/3cr19L5. Best Regards,
I'm on tell you if you don't line it up just right you will fight it till the cows come home 💯
What attachment can a run on this without voiding my warranty to cut thicker stuff like small saplings?
Cuántos metros en total se han de poner en este cabezal?
I sure enjoy listening to the Carter family gospel music
Warren Thomas is that what the music is on this video?
These heads are super tough, I was cutting long, thick grass the other day almost flat out on my FS250, and I hit a rock, it must have caught the rock on one of the indentations on the tap section, so hard that the white cover was smacked right off - it was only a few days old so I'm like, Damm its busted - no it wasn't, I just clipped it back on, I was amazed that the entire head didn't shatter - They are built like a tank.
Edit: The version we have in our country cannot be loaded like this one can, you have to manually load mine, and the packaging is genuine Stihl from a Stihl agent/dealer - STIHL Autocut C26 - 2, but no way you can thread the line through the head.
Hi Ian, We're happy to hear it! Thanks for sharing.
not normal..you may be doing something wrong
There was nothing wrong with the 25-2 I hope you will still offer it and stop trying to copy echos failed speed feed head that I tried and contrary to all the you tube hype from people that get free stuff they are worthless it's very hard to run the string to wind them they fall apart and the spring goes flying anyways enough about echo I am now using the 26-2 seems ok but I still think the original is better
Is this item available for buying
Can this head be put on a Stihl fs 55 R-CE?
Hello Jimmy,
Yes the AutoCut® C 26-2 is compatible with your STIHL trimmer.
What if my string is jammed inside? I cant load new string nor will the jammed string come out?
You will need to remove the jammed line and start fresh and re spool with new line.
upgraded to a AutoCut C 6-2 head and using the orange thread but still cannot rewind the spool. video needs to be more detail on this subject and the head that comes on the trimmer with the green thread does not feed and breaks and the orange which is the maximum you can use with trimmer no good either. Turner Ace Hardware where trimmer was purchased says Stihl has to approve returns on items, first have to leave for them to see if they can repair, so did that, but same thing, am going to try to return again, have tried 3 times now to weed eat/trim my yard with no success.
.
Does the FS94R accept gearbox attachments ? I’ve looked everywhere but can’t find anything on it. Some people say you can. Some people say you can’t
the stihl kombi system like the KM56R , KM 94R, KM110R ,KM111R and KM130R and KM 131R there the ones that runs different attachments not the FS series
Michael Mac Tavish look it up dude. It’s literally on stihls website. Kombi and gearbox attachments are 2 different things
Finally !!!
Is this compatible with the FS56C - brush cutter model?
Hello Jeff, Yes, the AutoCut C 26-2 is compatible with the FS 56 R-CE.
When I spool mine, it seems it just keeps feeding line out. I am not impressed at all. I’m going to my shop and try to see if there is another head that will fit my FS56.

How many cm are the maximum to fill in?
2.7
Max fill 8 mt
How many feet of 2.4mm or 0.95 line will i need to cut for the AUTOCUT C26-2
26 feet
@@stihlusa thanks
Spray some wd40 into the holes and around the rim, and it will wind much more easily.
I hold the front in and turn the back of it, it's a lot easier to wind.
Only works about half the time and still gets jammed inside and you have to take it apart to fix .
Where can i purchase one of these heads for my FS 55.
Buy an Echo speed feed
Gee Stihl, it would've been helpful IF you'd have put the instructions for the 26-C instead of the 25-C in my packet. 🐶🐶🐶
This head is junk. Stihl considers it an upgrade. I have it on an FS 111, and you have to slam it against the ground to extend line. Sometimes it comes apart when you do this. Reloading SUCKS! I'm getting a speed feed head soon.
Can you buy a replacement bump? It’s ridiculous that these companies don’t make a bump that’s made to actually bump like maybe rubber instead of plastic. Concrete always tears up the plastic and who wants to bump it in their lawn and cut a circle.
Good video
However there's no need to trim the excess line as the guard has a blade attached to it and will trim the line when the machine starts and the head rotates when the throttle is pressed
Greg Richard on my Stihl, if the line is too long, the FS90R won’t power up enough to cut the line automatically. It just bogs and I need to manually cut the line to proper length. I’m going to bring it back to the dealer to have them check it out because it’s a dog at times. I should have bought an echo but I stuck with the same dealer I bought my mower from.
@@michaelflaherty1812 ok, I never had that issue , must be a defect or something. Hope you get it fixed
@@michaelflaherty1812 echo has no power at all
No music more explanation
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Mine NEVER goes through and out the other end. Love all my Stihl products but this one's a POS wish the bloke at the store just gave me a replacement for my old head and not this junk.

I have the same issue. It never comes out the other end
They aren’t that easy when their full of grass and dirt

Great video - God-awful music!
Why the annoying rave music though??
Can't get this out the other side for the life of me. What a stupid STUPID design.
Hate it. The winding is ridiculous. It’s way easier with the old style and the spool that just came out and you wound it on there.
