Is this the line head you are using for your Stihl?

Yes, I believe it is! I have never used one before this job, to be honest, and I really like it. I use a lot of trigger control around trees, stakes, rocks , etc to prolong the use of my line. All the heads I used before were the speed load type and they sucked!


While I am a concrete finisher by trade my aging back is making it paramount I do some easier work. I have worked golf courses and am now mowing and weed eating a park owned by the Army corps of Engineers! The terrain on this park on the Mississippi is way tougher on the equipment than my previous work on a golf course!
