Say bye-bye to the bird’s nest –

Are you done winding string and looking for replacement heads far too often? Look no further than our guide to the top five bump feed trimmer head replacements.

Trimmers offer a quick, efficient way to clear up some of the hardest to reach landscaping spots. Few tools are as equally essential, and unfortunately as frustrating when they break, as a string trimmer. Aftermarket parts can get the job done, but you might find yourself replacing them before too long.

We recommend sticking with OEM trimmer head replacements. They are much more reliable and will last for years, not months. With Power Mower Sales, matching your brand of trimmer with the proper trimmer head replacement has never been easier. Simply browse parts by brand, and find your brand and trimmer. Many trimmer head replacements will fit into other brands of trimmers, so check to see if there is an adapter kit included.

Is your trimmer head still serviceable but has seen better days? Sooth those bad memories of winding string with an update. Modern trimmer heads have come a long way in terms of efficiency and maintenance. If you are still lacking in performance after outfitting a replacement head, it may be time to consider a trimmer replacement.

Here is our rundown of the best-selling and top-performing bump feed trimmer heads:

Care & Maintenance Tips for STIHL Lawn Power Tools

The STIHL power tools that use fuel can handle 10% ethanol but no more than that because going over 10% would damage the tools with corrosion and by dislodging deposits and clogging the system. This may even affect the tool’s warranty. Since most of the gasoline fuel sold in the country contains ethanol, be sure to check with your vendor about the ethanol content. Some of the signs that your power tool is struggling because of too much ethanol are high idling, hard starts, and stalling.

If you need to cut wet grass, you have to wait for the water to recede to a point where you can walk on the grass without leaving footprints. Using the STILH tools on water-clogged lawns will damage your lawn and your equipment. It will also be dangerous if your tool is powered by electricity.

Finally, make sure to replace your blades and other consumable parts as soon as the cut become ragged and clean the equipment regularly to extend the lifespan and efficiency of your lawn mower.
