Best Gasoline Grass Trimmers 2022
If you own a plot of land, you know firsthand what grass mowing is. And if the weather is rainy, then this activity becomes endless. And the choice of the best gasoline trimmer in this case is not a whim, but a necessity.

In the warm season, land owners cannot do without the best gasoline trimmer, because without it full-fledged care of the territory is impossible. You can, of course, buy a lawn mower, but it is bulky, takes up a lot of space and is not designed for certain types of work, for example, for removing unnecessary seedlings and dense weeds. The trimmer, on the contrary, will cope with these tasks easily.

Which one to choose when there are many models from different manufacturers on the market? It is not always reasonable to rely only on price in choosing, since it does not always correspond to quality. Healthy Food Near Me turned to Maxim Sokolov, expert of the online hypermarket VseInstrumenty.ruso that he can help you choose the best model from those presented today and talk about the criteria for choosing the best device.

How to choose a petrol grass trimmer. Expert advice

Expert Maxim Sokolov not only chose the best trimmer model, but also told Healthy Food Near Me about the main criteria for choosing such a device.

A gasoline trimmer, or, as it is also called, a lawn mower, is used for mowing grass by summer residents, gardeners, public utilities and forest park workers. It allows you to quickly get rid of tall grass and weeds, as well as maintain urban plantings in order.

Benefits of a petrol trimmer:

  • Mobility
  • Performance
  • Work in difficult areas
  • Socket independence
  • Working with coarse vegetation

Disadvantages of a gasoline trimmer:

  • High noise level – wear ear protection
  • A supply of fuel is required – we are preparing a mixture of gasoline and oil
  • Exhausts from the engine – working when there are no people nearby
  • Large weight – use a belt or backpack system to distribute the load

According to the listed factors, you need to evaluate whether the trimmer is suitable for a particular situation or whether it is better to choose another device.

Popular questions and answers

What cutting elements do grass trimmers have?
The type of cutting element determines the vegetation that the lawn mower can handle. For ordinary grass, a fishing line is suitable. As a rule, most models work with it. Many are additionally equipped with a knife with blades, which allows you to mow small shoots of trees and weeds. Separately, it is worth highlighting trimmers with a saw blade for clearing dry shrubs and forest growth.
What is the optimal cutting width for a trimmer?
The drive (shaft) is a unit that transmits rotation from the engine to the working part. Models with a flexible shaft have a curved shaft. This is convenient for mowing grass under benches, near fences and flower beds. A rigid shaft and a straight bar are a more reliable option that is suitable for working with coarse vegetation, weeds, and shrubs.
Which trimmer motors are easier to operate?
Basically, two-stroke models are presented on the market. For their operation, a mixture of oil and gasoline is required. They are productive, light, but noisy. Four-stroke is easier to operate due to the separate filling of oil and fuel. In addition, they are more economical and produce less exhaust gases. However, their cost is higher, and due to the design features, they are less maintainable.
What additional options should I look out for?
Garden equipment manufacturers are trying to improve the design of gasoline trimmers to make them easier and more convenient to work with. For example, they equip the engine with an easy start system, introduce an anti-vibration system, put the controls on the handles, complete the equipment with a knapsack belt, etc. These features are especially important for the professional sphere, when you have to work with a trimmer every day.
