Mowing Heads for Brushcutters & Strimmers

A quality mowing head helps your brushcutter or strimmer deliver clean, efficient cutting performance across a wide range of gardening tasks. Whether you’re tidying lawn edges, clearing grass around obstacles, or tackling more demanding vegetation, choosing the right cutting head makes the job considerably easier.

At Ron Smith & Co, we stock an extensive selection of mowing heads and replacement strimmer heads from leading garden machinery manufacturers. With options designed for domestic gardening through to professional grounds maintenance, our range makes it easy to find suitable cutting equipment for your machine and workload.

Find the Right Strimmer Head for the Job

Mowing heads are available in several different designs, so it’s important to consider how and where you use your machine. A straightforward nylon line strimmer head is ideal for routine grass trimming, lawn edges, and working around trees, walls, fences, and other obstacles.

For tougher jobs, more robust mowing heads support heavier cutting line designed to cope with demanding grass and weeds. We also stock heads that use durable polymer blades rather than conventional mowing line, providing another practical option for suitable machines and applications.

Matching the cutting system to the vegetation helps you work more efficiently while getting the best performance from your brushcutter or grass trimmer.

Convenient Line Feeding for Efficient Trimming

How fresh line is released is an important consideration when choosing a replacement strimmer head. Our range includes popular tap-and-go and bump-feed designs, which allow additional line to be released by tapping the mowing head against the ground while the machine is operating.

This convenient system helps reduce interruptions during grass cutting and edging. Other heads use automatic or manual line adjustment, giving users a choice based on their machine and preferred way of working.

Selected STIHL AutoCut mowing heads combine straightforward line feeding with convenient reloading systems. Our collection also includes Husqvarna Tap ‘n Go trimmer heads and Honda mowing heads featuring Tap & Go technology, providing you with options for all of these leading brands.

STIHL Mowing Heads for Different Cutting Tasks

Our selection of STIHL strimmer heads includes products from the AutoCut, DuroCut, PolyCut, and TrimCut ranges, each designed with particular applications in mind.

STIHL AutoCut heads are popular for grass cutting and general garden maintenance, with selected models allowing the mowing line to be extended by tapping the head against the ground. DuroCut mowing heads are designed with demanding clearance in mind and accept pre-cut line sections, while TrimCut models provide manual line adjustment.

STIHL PolyCut mowing heads offer a different approach by using polymer blades on compatible machines. This makes it possible to select a STIHL mowing head according to the vegetation you regularly encounter and the specification of your brushcutter or strimmer.

Replacement Spools and Cutting Equipment

Sometimes there is no need to replace the complete grass trimmer head. If the main assembly remains in good condition, fitting a compatible replacement spool provides a simple way to restore cutting performance.

We stock genuine replacement spools for selected mowing heads and strimmers, including products supplied with mowing line ready for use. Choosing the correct spool helps ensure reliable line feeding and proper compatibility with the original cutting system.

For machines that allow fresh line to be wound onto the existing spool, you can also explore our separate Strimmer Line category, which includes different diameters and specifications.

Choose the Correct Head for Your Brushcutter or Strimmer

Compatibility is essential when purchasing any brushcutter or strimmer cutting head. Mounting systems, approved line diameters, head sizes, and machine capabilities differ between models, so not every mowing head will fit every tool.

Always check that your chosen replacement mowing head is approved for your particular brushcutter or strimmer. You should also consider the type of vegetation being cut. Standard mowing line is well suited to grass and lighter weeds, while tougher vegetation may require heavier line or another approved cutting attachment.

Using the correct combination helps protect your equipment while providing the cutting performance you need.

FAQs

What does a mowing head do?

A mowing head is the cutting attachment fitted to a grass trimmer or brushcutter. It holds the cutting line and feeds it as needed, helping you tackle grass, weeds, and other light vegetation.

How do automatic and bump-feed strimmer heads differ?

Automatic-feed heads extend fresh line without user intervention as the line wears down. Bump-feed models require the operator to tap the head against the ground to release additional line.

Which cutting head is best for demanding clearing work?

A mowing head loaded with thicker strimmer line is often suitable for tackling dense grass and stubborn weeds. For heavier vegetation such as reeds and nettles, a metal grass blade is usually more effective, while brush knives and saw blades are better suited to woody material.

Do you stock strimmer heads from leading brands?

Yes, we offer strimmer and mowing heads from trusted manufacturers including STIHL, Husqvarna, ECHO, EGO, Honda, and STIGA, along with a range of compatible accessories.

What's the process for replacing strimmer line?

On most mowing heads, you'll need to open the head, remove any old line, and wind fresh line onto the spool following the directional markings before feeding the ends through the eyelets and reassembling the head. Certain models, including STIHL AutoCut C heads, allow line to be loaded and wound externally, making the process faster and more convenient.
