Do all of you run string heads on your trimmers or do any of you run any other kind like the ones with the plastic looking little blades?

If string do you run the bump type that advance the line or do you use one of the rapid change ones that uses the pre-cut lengths of string?

I use a Speed-Feed (bump) head with Cross-Fire line.
Here is a picture of the head and also a picture of the line.

I'm using the Autocut C25-2 from Stihl 110R. It's a bump type and It's an easy spool head. It can be refilled without taking it apart. or if you like you can do it by pulling it apart. The 90R has the regular Stihl bump type. The pre-cut type is to expensive to use in commercial.

Yeah, that's why I like my Echo....because you can reload it without taking it apart. I can reload mine in like 20 seconds! :thumbsup:

Around here most everyone uses the Arnold stuff like the one Fanatic has pictured or Oregon of the same type.
