52cc Petrol Garden Brush Cutter, Grass Line Trimmer

Product Information

Generally, it seems this model is quieter than competing petrol strimmers, which might make it a bit more ‘neighbour friendly’, especially if you’re fond of working the early mornings or evenings. When you don’t need something quite as heavy duty, the included grass trimmer attachment will come in super handy. Practicalities The grasscutter is one of the lightest on the market, and the bike-inspired handlebar makes it even easier to use and control. All of the features are located on the ergonomically built handle, so you never have to leave it.

Grass petrol strimmers are useful for cutting and pruning places where a lawnmower would be unable to manoeuvre. The cutting power is the primary reason why people choose petrol strimmers to electric versions. Heavier machines are easier to control if they have a shoulder strap – I thoroughly recommend using one to get the most out of your strimmer. Some of the heaviest models also have bicycle-style handlebars to help with distributing the weight. The line head has a 43 cm cutting path so it doesn’t take long to cover larger areas either; if you have parts of the garden where the mower can’t go, this strimmer should be able to get in and help keep things looking tidy – especially useful around fountains, benches and playgrounds. The motor must be primed by squeezing the bulb under the carburettor, which is standard procedure for all gasoline strimmers. Whilst you might want a wider width if you’re trying to cover a large area, one of the other most useful functions of a grass trimmer is being able to neaten up the tighter spots where the mower can’t go.Gearboxes are used in straight-shaft trimmers to help transfer the rotational force (also known as torque) of the motor or engine into the speed of the head. It sports a Wolf 52cc two-stroke petrol engine. The cutting cord has a diameter of 3.0 mm. (Please note that a metal cutting head cannot be attached to this one.) Our tough and well proven 52cc engine is put to its most celebrated use here with a multi-tool that is an invaluable addition to any gardener’s armoury. Easy to assemble and ideal to store, it is a considered response to the problem of having different machines for different tasks. The modular and lightweight design guarantees the user comfort when in use and allows a very broad range of tasks to accomplished with one machine. Our thoughtful split shaft design means that changing tools is swiftly done with the minimum of fuss. There is a reason why this, one of our original offerings, is still at the heart of our business – it’s so spectacularly popular - and for good reason. While there’s no vibration reduction system at work, the soft-grip handles do a lot of the work of making it a comfortable tool to use, though ear and eye protection are still recommended. The line can be advanced by bumping it against the ground.

This Trueshopping Garden Trimmer is the best petrol strimmer to buy on a budget because, even though it’s inexpensive, it’s still extremely well designed. It comes with secure bike-handlebar handles which, when combined with the shoulder strap, create a very stable machine. The dual-handled nature of the supports mean there’s an element of bicycle riding in its use, as you steer it into position rather than just pointing it as you do with a single loop handle. Combined with the included harness, however, there’s no doubt that this is the superior method for wielding a more powerful machine. You can spool out additional line by tapping the hub on the ground, and the whole unit comes apart for storage. It weighs 8.9 kg and has handlebar-style handles to provide a good grip on the strimmer – especially useful when working through tougher terrain; however, the harness could be of better quality to help more securely distribute the weight. This is a pricey wheeled trimmer, but if you get it, you'll have one of the best petrol wheeled trimmers on the market right now in the UK. This one has a Briggs & Stratton 675 series, a 190 cc engine that drives a quad cutting string head. You get a safety guard and an anti-vibration system, as well as an adjustable double harness to help in holding it up. It can be a bit heavy once you’ve got the engine and tool head put together, so make sure you can support it, especially if you plan on lifting the cutting end above waist level.

Putting the right fuel in your tools is very important. Many use plain old unleaded from the petrol station, but others require two-stroke. This is a mixture of unleaded and oil at a 50:1 ratio (getting to know your tools is important here, as some prefer a richer mix for better performance) and you can buy small bottles of two-stroke oil online or from your local garden centre. How do I get a petrol strimmer started? I wouldn’t recommend the ParkerBrand 52cc brush cutter to anyone who only has mild gardening needs. If you just want to rid the edges of your lawn of a few long strands and a handful of weeds, this is probably too powerful, too large and too robust. An affordable cordless trimmer will likely do the job here. Conclusion

The strimmer comes with dual hedge clipping cutting blades that are 40 cm long and can cut ‘messy vegetation' up to 20 mm in diameter. The clipper and brush cutter machine comes with a line head that allows you to replace the line when it wears out by gently tapping the head against the floor. PROS If you need the force of a petrol machine, but aren’t sure if you can handle the weight of one, the McCulloch Trimmac Trimmer finds a good balance between power and manageability. A handy extension pole is also included in the kit, giving you an extra 105cm of reach when you need it. PROS Both attachment options are perfect for seasoned gardeners and first-time users alike. These machines are designed to be easy to assemble; we know that your time is better spent getting your tasks completed. The clear, concise and comprehensive manual will also leave you feeling confident about the briefmaintenance and continued care of your machine.

They can be a little too powerful. Unless you really need the strength of a petrol model, they may be more difficult to manage than it’s worth. Vibrations can also make them uncomfortable over extended periods. No bells and whistles here: just a 26cc two-stroke engine, a simple loop handle, three metres of cutting line spooled on the end, and a very reasonable 7kg of weight. There are no alternative blades or accessories, and while the handle is adjustable for a more comfortable grip, the most innovative thing on offer is the recoil starting mechanism, which adds a spring to the starting rope to make things easier on those cold mornings when the fuel just won’t quite catch. So, here we have created a list of the best petrol strimmer’s you can buy for your garden! Therefore, if you are finding it difficult to sort your garden out a petrol strimmer might be the best option for you. Best Grass Petrol Strimmers Stanley STR-750A Petrol Grass Strimmer This Aosome model is one of the most popular petrol wheeled trimmers on the market in the United Kingdom. When compared to other models, such as Hyundai, the pricing is significantly lower.

There’s a brush cutting blade included as well as an auto-release line head, but you might not even find yourself using the blade much as it’s powerful with the line alone. With both line-trimming and brush-cutting functions catered for, this is a great option. What’s more, the two-stroke engine in this Hyundai model is among the most powerful you’ll find in a simple grass trimmer. A shoulder harness with a waist belt is included for added support. A four-toothed metal blade and a nylon cutting head are included with the equipment. As a result, you can use it with a metal blade to cut tough grass or attach the nylon feed to chop overgrown weeds. PROS Along with the harness, a tool kit and fuel-mixing bottle come included. Whilst you may get more from using your own tools for maintenance, the bottle is useful for easily combining the petrol and oil needed before starting. That’s not to say petrol-powered tools are perfect. There’s the small issue of flammability, and the inconvenience of taking a can down to the local petrol station to fill it up with five litres of fuel at a time. Then there’s storage – you can’t keep your petrol over winter and expect it to start in the spring with the same gusto as it did the summer before, so you’ll need to drain out your equipment and fill it with fresh fuel if it won’t start. All sorts of things can befall petrol-powered garden tools, from rodents eating through your priming bulbs to light-fingered allotment thieves.

BIG & BULKY ITEMS

This is just as well, as it’s a relatively powerful 43 cc 2-stroke petrol strimmer with both a bump-line feed head and a brush-cutter blade. For the most part, the line head is able to work through a lot of tough undergrowth, like long grass and brambles, so you may find there’s not even much need to change to the brush cutting blade. A lawn strimmer is the best tool for keeping overgrown grass, bushes, and weeds under control. Even though these are simple devices to use and maintain, there are numerous variations on the market. Petrol strimmers aren’t generally used for small jobs – they’re tough machines that are well suited to clearing large areas and tough undergrowth. However, if you’re using your strimmer professionally or will be working on lots of heavy-duty tasks, I recommend a strimmer with a 52 cc engine. Some of the best petrol strimmers for really tough jobs will have a 52 cc engine. Other machines have closer to a 20 cc engine – but which should you be looking for?
