How to choose a brush cutter

About how to choose a brush cutter, and not overpay a large amount of money for it, we asked Evgenia Golomolzina, senior sales assistant at the StroyKhata store.

Never forget maintenance requirements when choosing a hedge trimmer – it’s easy to do if the customer is blinded by the cheap price tag. The cost of spare parts and the labor involved in fixing a hedge trimmer add up quickly, making the upfront price of the unit misleading.

Look for machines designed to simplify maintenance. For example, some manufacturers design equipment to draw attention to lubrication points for service technicians. This ensures that technicians can easily find lubrication points and remember to service those areas.

Welded or bolted components also affect maintenance time. For example, wear parts that are bolted rather than welded to the brushcutter make it easier for technicians to access and replace individual parts.

Electricity or gasoline?

The first important criterion in choosing a brush cutter is to choose a gasoline or electric motor. Both options have their advantages and hence there is no one correct answer. If you live in an urban environment where you have access to a power source at any given time, then choose electricity. Or if you don’t like noise – then electric trimmers are also ideal.

If you plan on maintaining more demanding surfaces that are less well maintained, then a gasoline-powered hedge trimmer is the ideal choice. The choice is yours.

Purpose

The way you use the hedge trimmer will have a big role to play in determining your choice. If you are planning on maintaining abandoned large spaces for a few hours, then you should consider buying a powerful hedge trimmer for a lot of money. If you plan to use the trimmer in your small garden, then try a model with a steering ring and a regular strap.

Finally, if you are an advanced user who is not deterred by obstacles such as undergrowth, then you should consider a trimmer with a “bike”, a professional belt, or maybe even an anti-vibration system.

Frequency of use

The frequency of use of a trimmer or brush cutter is a very important criterion when choosing. If you are planning to maintain your property several times during the season then we recommend one of the small and compact trimmers. On the other hand, if you are a hardcore gardener who spends hours keeping the grass in order, then one of the powerful hedge trimmers on the market is your best bet.
