Cutting wires, blades and mowing heads

Anyone working with grass trimmers, brushcutters or clearing saws will have to replace the cutting wire or blade at some point. Whether it’s because of wear and tear or new requirements, you will eventually need to change the mowing line, attach new blades or retrofit your machine with a different mowing head.

STIHL offers a wide selection of mowing lines, blades and mowing heads.
