FS 55 R conversion

[Dredge Rat]

I have a straight shaft FS 55 R trimmer and was wondering if I can use a brush cutter blade on it? If so what kit or blade numbers would I need. I have seen where there are adapter kits that are available but don't know if there are certain ones for this particular one. Thanks for any help.

In general, if your trimmer has a flexable drive cable instead of a steel shaft, you don't want to use a blade on it.
