Designed to make routine maintenance straightforward, the AutoCut 27-2 features an ergonomic opening for easier line refilling and optimised sleeve fastening. It is compatible with both 2.4mm and 2.7mm mowing line, allowing you to select the appropriate line for your machine and intended work.

This listing includes two variants: the standard AutoCut 27-2 Mowing Head and a version with metal wear protection for an extended service life. Please select the required option before placing your order.

Lightweight and Comfortable to Use

The AutoCut 27-2 has been developed to provide robust performance without adding unnecessary weight to your brushcutter. Its lightweight construction helps keep the machine comfortable and manageable during mowing and clearing, particularly when working for longer periods.

Despite its low weight, the head is designed to withstand regular use. This makes it a dependable choice for maintaining grassed areas, tidying lawn edges and carrying out general clearing work with a compatible STIHL machine.

Easier Mowing-Line Refilling

Replacing depleted mowing line is an essential part of keeping a brushcutter working efficiently. The STIHL AutoCut 27-2 incorporates an ergonomic opening that provides easier access when refilling the head, helping to make routine line replacement more convenient.

The head accepts 2.4mm or 2.7mm STIHL mowing line. Always choose a suitable line diameter for your machine and the work being carried out, following the guidance provided in your brushcutter’s instruction manual.

STIHL Professional Mowing-Line Tip

To get the most from your mowing line, STIHL recommends soaking it in a bucket of water for 12 to 24 hours before use. Absorbing moisture makes the line more flexible and less likely to break during operation.

This is especially helpful if the line has been stored for some time. Keeping spare mowing line available and soaking it before it is required can help minimise interruptions while you work.

A Dependable Head for Mowing and Clearing

With its lightweight yet robust construction, easier line-refilling access and compatibility with two popular mowing-line diameters, the AutoCut 27-2 is a versatile addition to compatible STIHL brushcutters. The choice of standard or metal wear-protection variants also allows you to select the version best suited to your working requirements.
