Currently using an fs460 for clearing. Frustrated with autocut heads and guards. Anyone tried a small head on it by changing the nut?  Or alternative guards without the larger lip?

Your help would be greatly appreciated

Have a look at Oregon Jet pro heads 4 blade will work on 460 i use the Techni blade shreds everything

I run 460s. No guards. 4 way head with 2.7mm cord for thicker stuff- twice the cords, half the wear. The smaller head with the larger nut and 2.4mm cord is my go to for grass and soft things like thistles, and I highly recommend it with no guard. You can run a fair length cord like that. 
 

I couldn’t get on with jet pro heads. Always felt like it wasn’t cutting very efficiently as it had worn down a bit, but wasteful to change it!
