Best Nylon Cutter Head for Brush Cutter
The nylon cutter head (also called Tap N Go head or nylon trimmer head) is the safest and most versatile cutting attachment for brush cutters. This guide covers how to choose, use, and maintain the best nylon cutter head for your brush cutter.
What is a Nylon Cutter Head?
A nylon cutter head replaces metal blades and uses rotating nylon line (trimmer line) to cut grass. When the line wears short, you 'tap' the head on the ground — this releases more line automatically (Tap N Go mechanism).
Types of Nylon Cutter Heads
1. Tap N Go Head (Most Popular)
Single or dual-line automatic feed head. Most common type on Indian brush cutters. When line shortens, tap head on ground to advance more line. Available in 1.6mm, 2.0mm, and 2.4mm line diameter.
2. Fixed Line Head
Non-automatic — requires manual line threading. Less convenient but cheaper. Some heavy-duty versions for thick grass use fixed heavy line.
3. Star Blade/Sabre Blade Nylon
Blade-like nylon cutting elements on a rigid head. More aggressive than standard nylon line. For medium weeds where pure nylon line lacks cutting power.
Choosing Nylon Line Thickness
| Vegetation | Line Diameter |
|---|---|
| Light lawn grass | 1.6mm |
| Normal field grass | 2.0mm |
| Dense weeds | 2.4mm |
| Thick vegetation | Use 80T metal blade instead |
When to Use Nylon Head vs Metal Blade
- Nylon head: Near crops, tree bases, fences, irrigation pipes, slopes where blade risk is high
- 80T blade: Open areas, thick grass, sugarcane, heavy vegetation
Nylon Head Maintenance
- Store nylon line in sealed bag — UV and heat degrades nylon quickly
- Replace line when shorter than 10cm (minimum effective length)
- Clean head after each use — grass wrap reduces efficiency
- Check spool spring condition — worn spring causes poor tap-n-go response
- Keep spare line spool in field bag
Compatibility
Most Tap N Go heads are compatible across brands (Balwaan, Neptune, Royal Kissan, RBD) via standard 26mm M10x1.25 threaded fitting. Confirm thread specification before purchasing replacement head.
