I have a Husqvarna 223L trimmer which served me well for several years. I eventually wore out the feeder head and replaced it with a head I bought at Tractor Supply. I think it was a T35 head, and it worked okay for year or two, then, if the end of the string hit a rock or something, it would spontaneously feed out line until it wrapped around the head.

I got a new T35 head at Tractor Supply and it shortly began doing the same thing, only worse. It does this with .085 Stihl line and with Echo .095 line. At this point, the trimmer is unusable. What do I need to do?

Sounds like the spring is bad. Return for new head or clean old head well. I run that head commercially and have no problems except I have to replace the blue bump head about 3 times a year.
