The Makita 1917R5-0 Rapid Load Bump & Feed Trimmer Head is a replacement string trimmer head for select Makita 18V LXT and 40V max XGT string trimmers (string trimmer sold separately). This is a bump and feed trimmer head designed for efficient grass and light weed trimming with fast line changes. Model number 1917R5-0.

The quick-loading mechanism allows the nylon line to be replaced without disassembling the trimmer head, so line changes take less time on the job.

The flat bottom design improves bump and feed performance and allows easier ground-contact trimming on uneven terrain. A lower spool profile positions the line closer to the ground for deeper, cleaner trimming along walks, beds, and fence lines.

A dual-side eyelet design lets the line enter smoothly from either side for faster loading. The head holds up to 13 feet of 0.080-inch line and ships with low-noise, energy-saving four-leaf nylon line for efficient cutting.

The 1917R5-0 uses an M10 x 1.25 left-hand arbor. Landscape crews and homeowners who are tired of taking trimmer heads apart to reload will appreciate how much faster this head gets them back to trimming.
