Nb
It should be noted that some trimmer heads turn clockwise and other counterclockwise. This makes a difference when installing the head. I learned this the hard way.
Me too😂
Installed the Echo 450 head on my Stihl FS 55 R and it works like a dream. Glad I watched your video but I could not use the spacer as mentioned. Thanks! Gave my old Echo to my Brother in law and have wanted to throw this Stihl in the trash ever since I purchased it. Name it trimmer rescue.........😁
Excellent video. I’ve been fighting the 27-2 Sthil line getting jammed . I will buy this for sure. Thank you!!
Bro, your video is so understandable, even people that don't speak english can do that installation, good job !
Haha awesome
Hunker down. Camping with Steve 👍🏼
Heck yeah!!
After several hours of confusion I watched several videos. Yours was by far the very best! Thanks so much for reliving my stressful day! Ps I did not use the spacer. Would not work with the space and it works great!
That’s pretty cool, I haven’t seen one of those before. I’ll need to get one next time my trimmer head wears out. Thanks for the insight!
It would have been nice to see how you got the old one off as I had to watch a different video to get that info. The speed feed I got was a little different than the one in your video, but your video was a big help. Thank you
Thank you for making this video. Instruction for this suck, as I was. Trying to install it on my FS56 today and gave up. Figured I would fine someone on TH-cam had done this before.
Thank you so much the first time I purchased one of these and I thought I had to load it like the others try to load it and it wouldn’t work so I log onto TH-cam seeing your video it was so much helpful step-by-step I really appreciate it thank you so much 😊
Nice video and cool to see the hunker down sweat shirt. I just switched to the stihl speed line head and it's a nice thing. Though not sure about it's durability. A lot of my trail maintenance is grubbing, and grubbing is hard on trimmer heads.
First video I watched to help me install. Probably the only video I needed ! Thanks man
* make sure the green nut is driven ALL THE WAY IN, it goes past the flush from the back and will not link up to the bolt if not driven the 3/16 past the flush...
Great Video!
I have an Echo Spilt Boom Weed Eater that needed a need new Trimmer Head, my local John Deere dealer recommend the Speed Feed Trimmer head. It's an Easy install when using instructions. Very Easy New string install. I would definetely recommend this string head.
Most owners don't know this, but there is a grease bolt on the side that should be undone each season and filled with gearbox grease.
That head is spinning at hundreds/thousands of RPM's..treat your gearbox nice!! Give it some grease.
Great tip thanks for sharing.
Hipa makes a nice one also that has received great reviews.
Thanks for the advice. I thought I bought the wrong model
Why didn't you use the white piece vs the black?
I personally only use speed feed heads on echo trimmers, when it comes to other brands I just use the heads that they come with, I’m not really one of those people who are totally crazy over the speed feed heads
Stihl has their own version of speed feeders.
are they good heads? do they work properly?
Great Video! Where did you get the spacer?
I have an FS91r and if I leave that plastic round spacer on, the threads from the trimmer will not reach into the green piece.
So much better than the one my stihl came with, what a pain.
what type did yours come with, please?
@@sherryleeperdue9576 One you have to disassemble to replace the line, it probably takes 3 times as long to replace the line.
@@MrRecklessryan thank you
How to put them on the stihl electric trimmers? Cant find any guides. Jakmax head similar to oregon?
How do you get the Stihl trimmer head off.
so wonderful beautiful video Mike i love it see so nice
Many thanks
@@RunBikeMike how are you? no problem my best friend have you instagram or facebook?
Amy issues with bump feed? Reading some reviews that it can be difficult. To point of slamming into ground.
So far it has worked perfectly
I’d twist the top plate. It’s got grooves in it for grip. With lengthy string and turning the bottom, they twist up.
Also, that bottom plate wears out prematurely throughout constant use. I’ve ran these and the auto-cut on my fs131R and I’m going back to traditional. I’d recommend this one over the auto cut if a rapid feed design is a must have. Too many cons to the auto cut.
Love how there’s absolutely no zoom on the installation
Can this speed head be installed on a stihl curved shaft? Thank you for the video. PLEASE reply
It will install on most trimmers. You will want to check your model number
@@RunBikeMike Thank you. The model number is FS40CE easy2start FS40. Stihl Curved shaft. Can you please check it out for me? THANK YOU
Is this LH5 I stallation instructions?
Can this speed head be installed on a stihl fs 260 C?
Awesome. You rock dude
Thanks 😊
I use traditional trimmer head!
Good video 👍🏻🇺🇸
Never used one but I think I will be buying one
How do I get the old spool off
Use small screwdriver. There is a small hole at the top of Stihl trimmers you put that in and turn the head.
@@RunBikeMike I'm not sure how you put that spool on with that black plastic piece mine wouldn't even thread on with all the same parts and mine is a Stihl FS 56rc
The only way I got it to work was to take it fully apart and push the treaded part up to the trimmer head.
@@RunBikeMike I try it again this will be the fifth time I have had it apart
Support your local Echo & Stihl dealers & buy OEM parts when available. 👍
Will this work on Stihl F5 56RC?>
If it has the standard Stihl trimmer head then yes it will.
The FS131R isnt on the list of trimmers this supposedly fits
The list is not a full list.
@@RunBikeMike I figured out how to make it work. Took the bushing out of the Stihl head that came with the trimmer and put it into the speed feed, worked like a charm. None of the ones that came with it worked on mine. I have the fs131 with the handles.
mine keeps getting tight every time I push the trigger ,it spins for like 2 seconds and then it tightens so much I can't use it
Make sure you have the spacer between the head and trimmer. I used the black spacer.
@@RunBikeMike yes I did it with the black spacer but still same results,I noticed yours has a bigger metal spacer than mine, I'm thinking my Stihl is missing that bigger metal spacer
@@Mr1lilrob are you referring to this plate? amzn.to/3bMKruj
Also checkout my other channel I made a video on this and it has a little better close ups.
th-cam.com/video/NfEjXVwSB3I/w-d-xo.html
@@RunBikeMike yes , exactly,mine has a smaller one ,I don't know if there are two types of mine is just missing the larger one,thank you,I will order and see if it works,thanks for your videos,I subscribed and learning Alot from you
Nice string trimmers heads not my friend lol. Thanks will consider
I am kicking myself for not getting this sooner. It is a game changer for me.
Is that a bump head
Yes
Just bought a speed feed….
Would have been nice to show how to remove the stihl head first.
