The cutting head (100) of the present disclosure provides a control mechanism (21) for loading a spool member (35) of s the cutting head (100) quickly and efficiently without having to disassemble the cutting head (100). In one embodiment, a control mechanism (21) is provided in the cutting head (100) interacting between a follower member (302) and a spool member (306) so as to provide for one way rotational loading of flails, e.g., cutting line, into the cutting head in other words, to load the flails, the spool member (306) is rotated continuously 3600 in one io direction only, e.g., clockwise. In another embodiment, a cutting head (100) allows the flails to be loaded by a ratcheting-type operation, i.e., a back and forth rotational movement, which is less fatiguing and even more efficient in its loading operation.3/10 17 100 23 13 19 A2 19 302 304 29 33 3063 15 FIG.3
