I need a damn good trimmer head for the Stihl FS130, FS350, and FS550

[Bill G]

Some people prefer to look for a few days

The people that just go buy new all the time when something needs a little work are the one's on their 5th marriage.

It means that you created this topic unnecessarily / You don't need this at all

How might that be?

 

[Partner]

Don't buy anything/just use what you have

 

[Bill G]

Don't buy anything/just use

That does not explain what you said.

It means that you created this topic unnecessarily / You don't need this at all

How is it that I created the thread unessarily and I do not need a damn good trimmer head for a 131?

Spring is here so it is trimmer season

I got stuck in a foot of snow 2 days ago in the rhino.

Which one of these do you prefer? When I get a chance I will show all the trimmer lines I have.

 

[Wilhelm]

3.0mm white square (I need to try the new 3.3mm orange & yellow square I found and bought), followed by 2.7mm white square, then 3.0mm round (for really gnarly & chitty stuff like I dealt with yeaterday, it is a very tough but dull line), 2.7mm Husqvarna Penta "Star" shaped (I may go get a spool of higher gauge of it!), 3.0mm blue Dolmar square-twisted followed by 2.7mm blue Dolmar square-twisted (extremely "sharp" line, great for fresh & juicy weeds).

I have yet to try the Dolmar orange square I have.

Most of the generic round lines I bought due to good pricing and they are just cannon fodder for chitty jobs.

The square ones cut more better.

And it is the most durable

When the giant roll of Desert Vortex I have is used up in 20 years or more, I'll get something square.

Use it in Your 3D printer and get square now!

That is why I prefer smaller line spools, it is used up and gone faster if I don't like the line.

The square ones cut more better.

A twisted square has all the benefits of running a square and it's silent and it doesn't fly erratically.

My current selection of nylons/lines



Also, get this head - it is great.
OEM



TEMU replica



The ADK one is doing great, rated for 2.7mm line - I am spooling up 3.0mm round & square.

I haven't tried the TEMU one yet.

Warning, they seem to come with M10x1.25 LH threading.

 

[Wilhelm]

Excellent line outlet on those!

 

[PissRev]

I tried out this line yesterday and I really like it. It cuts like a pair of scissors and is totally quiet when it's swinging through the air. It's x-shaped but twisted.

They discontinued the brass grommets/they were too durable
