Trimmers and brushcutters are great tools for those looking to achieve a well-groomed landscape. With a wide range of shaft lengths, handle variations, and innovative features, it may be hard to decide which model is the right one for you. Whether you’re a homeowner or landscaping professional, if you’re considering purchasing a new trimmer or brushcutter, you need to know which machine can help you get the job done right. To narrow down your choices, here are aspects to consider when selecting a trimmer or brushcutter.
Gas-Powered Trimmers
Gas-powered trimmers are powerful and designed to easily remove grass, weeds, and other brush. They’re great for use on medium to large properties, making them perfect for both homeowners and professional landscapers.
Gas-powered trimmers are available with either 2-cycle or 4-cycle engines, so whether you use them around the home or on landscape job sites, they are versatile enough to handle a wide range of tasks. These trimmers are built with loop handles, which are designed for operator comfort.
Battery Powered and Electric Trimmers
These are environmentally friendly alternatives to gas powered machines. They eliminate the need to mix the correct ratio of gas and oil and the need for engine maintenance. These models boast the same trimming power as gas models but are lightweight, more maneuverable, and incredibly quiet.
Unlike battery powered trimmers, electric trimmers are powered by an extension cord. They are still easy to use and require less maintenance, but are not as maneuverable as battery powered models.
Walk Behind Trimmers
Walk behind trimmers are a great options if you have a lot to trim but not a lot of time to get the job done. With large wheels, you can easily maneuver around yards of all sizes and tackle uneven terrain. With a wider cutting radius, operators can cut twice as fast in half the time. These trimmers function with the ease of a walk behind lawn mower.
Walk behind trimmers are designed with 4-cycle engines and a recoil start. They’re powerful machines built to tackle thick brush.
Brushcutters
Brushcutters are high-performance tools designed for heavy-duty jobs. They’re built with larger engines and thicker line than trimmers. These machines also have metal blades constructed for cutting thick weeds and brush.
Brushcutters are built with bike handle styles, designed for control. These machines are intended for users with large areas to clear. If your trimmer has not been taming your property as well as you’d like, consider upgrading to a brushcutter.
