Shindaiwa 78890-30000 Speed-Feed 400 Universal Bump Feed Trimmer Head

I purchased on recommendation from a you tube channel that repairs small equipment. at first it looked complicated but after figuring out what parts my machine needed( all supplied ) it was easy. This thing has been engineered by someone who knows their stuff. Its rugged, works perfectly, easy to understand how it works. and super easy to reload. what else do you need? i wish i had one of these for the last sixty years.

Easy install and a product that actually performs as advertised. I'm ordering another Speed Feed for my other FS90 Stihl trimmer.

Just finished mounting the 400 on my new Stihl FS91R. The application chart for my NEW FS91R is not correct. The chart calls for LH2. My FS91R used the LH5. Haven't tried it yet but it sure loads nice!!!! Will update after the first use.2 hours worth of trimming. This thing is GREAT!!!!! carried 2 12' lines in my pocket. RELOAD ON THE FLY. Cuts load time considerably!

This Shindaiwa 78890-30000 Speed-Feed 400 Universal Bump Feed Trimmer Head replaced my Ryobi EXPAND IT. I used the Red Anodized adapter on the threaded shaft that you get down to once you take off the Ryobi head.. NOTE: the thread is left handed..... so remember that after aligning the half slot on the base of the shaft where the along with the other half of a slot which is on the string trimmer part and inserting the locking tool that comes with it ( but in my case I used an allen wrench that was a sufficient size cause I lost the tool) this locks the head then you can turn the old Junky Ryobi Head off by twisting to the right because it is left handed thread... That's right twiest it of and throw that piece of garbage away! you may want to go here to check this youtube clip out.... it will show you how to change the bushing in this Shindaiwa 78890-30000 Speed-Feed 400 Universal Bump Feed Trimmer Head. On mine I used the red bushing... Also I went through that blue trim line that came with it like in 5 seconds I am currently using this line. MaxPower 338814 0.095-Inch Premium Twisted Trimmer Line, 200-Foot Length... Its a good cheap line so I hear and it did already outlast the blue on that came with the shindaiwa universal head... The reason why I cheanged the head in the first place was because the Ryobi was brand new and already it did not want to come apart for the first string change.. So that's why I stated surfing and came across this Schindaiwa universal string feed one... time will tell if I made the right decision but I like it so far ( at least you can services it easily as compared to the Ryobi head) and at least it fits on the Ryobi expand it weed trimmer and replaces it.... I will be back to update to 5 stars if It stands the test of time and is super easy to string up with my chosen string trimmer line.

This was easy to install, durable, good quality and works better than the original

Bought for Husqvarna 223L trimmer. Needed supplied shim and it fit great. Way better than original head or knock-offs. This head is great!

I purchased this trimmer head after seeing reviews touting its ease of use and adaptability. Loading the line is simple and straightforward. Plenty of how-to videos on fitting the head to multiple brands of trimmers. I swapped the head in about ten minutes on a Honda trimmer with no problems. The head works flawlessly after a summer and half of use, advancing the line with a simple bump without any tangling or aggravation. Even the line include with the head is very good. I wish I had found this head years ago and saved myself the years of frustration loading line of the OEM head.
