Stihl’s AutoCut 27-2 is a take-no-prisoners tap-feed head built for pros and heavy users who want fast line feed, simple reloads, and trouble-free service. It accepts thick line (.095" / 2.4 mm) so it rips through tall grass, weeds and rough edges without bogging down. The tap-to-advance system lets you bump the head on the ground and get fresh line without fuss—no cutting tools, no mess. The EasySpool design makes reloading quick: lift the cover, drop in the pre-wound spool or feed new line without tearing the whole head apart, which keeps you working and off the bench. The housing and spool layout are engineered for everyday knocks and dust; Stihl improved the bump knob and cover for longer life and easier removal so the head lasts through seasons of use. If you want reliable feed, heavy-duty line capacity, and a fast reload that guys on the crew can do with gloves on, the AutoCut 27-2 does the job.
What it means on the job: you spend less time fighting line, less time on clumsy reloads, and more time trimming. The .095" capacity gives you a stronger cutting edge for thick brush and edge work. The tap-feed keeps you moving—when the line wears, tap, and keep going. The EasySpool setup keeps line changes simple and fast so you’re back on the truck in minutes.
