Brush Cutters Benassi

Benassi brush cutters are wheeled machines designed for cutting tall grass and weeds on large surfaces, agricultural land and uncultivated areas. They are suitable for the periodic maintenance of orchards, vineyards, olive groves and green spaces where a lawn mower, designed for regular lawns, is unsuitable. The wheels support the machine and the drive system assists forward movement, reducing the physical load compared with a portable brush cutter. Meccanica Benassi was founded in 1953 after its initial success in the moped industry and introduced small rotary tillers and mowers to the market. From its basement premises in the 1950s, production moved to a factory with 10,000 m² of covered space; at the same time, the brand expanded its presence in Italy and abroad. Today, it develops machinery for green-space maintenance and soil preparation, intended for both hobbyists and professional operators. On AgriEuro, this range includes the MD 555 series of Benassi wheeled brush cutters, designed for semi-professional work on spontaneous vegetation and agricultural surfaces.

On AgriEuro, products can be selected according to their technical features, helping users identify the brush cutter best suited to their operating requirements. The comparison covers the engine type, recommended surface area, drive system and cutting unit.

• 4-stroke petrol engine: the series includes 150 and 166 cm³ engines, fitted respectively to the MD 555 R and MD 555 H models. The engine has a recoil starter, runs on petrol and uses a separate oil-bath lubrication system;
• Single-speed self-propelled drive: both machines are traction-driven and move forward using the dedicated control on the handlebar. The self-propelled system assists movement across large and uneven surfaces, subject to the instructions in the manual concerning slopes and ground conditions;
• 55 cm cutting head with line: the steel cutting head uses heavy-duty line and provides a working width of 55 cm. The cutting unit is engaged with a lever separate from the drive lever;
• Intermediate belt transmission: the engine and cutting head are not connected directly. The belt may slip in the event of an impact and separates the cutting unit from the engine shaft;
• Recommended maximum surface area: the MD 555 R model is suitable for areas up to 2,000 m²; the MD 555 H reaches up to 2,500 m² under the stated conditions. This figure must be considered in relation to grass density, slopes, obstacles and frequency of work;
• Controls and construction: the handlebar can be adjusted to two positions and incorporates the drive, cutting-head and throttle controls. Wheels with a deep tread support grip on agricultural land, while the front guard limits the direct projection of debris towards the operator.

The Benassi models in this category are designed for semi-professional work. They are suitable for demanding private users, farmers, nursery operators and green-space maintenance workers performing periodic cutting in orchards, vineyards, olive groves or uncultivated plots. The choice must always reflect the actual vegetation and ground conditions.

Benassi wheeled brush cutters combine a petrol engine, drive system and line cutting head in a machine controlled from the handlebar. Their main purpose is cutting spontaneous vegetation rather than producing a uniform finish on an ornamental lawn. The AgriEuro range makes it possible to choose the engine and recommended surface area that best match the planned work.

The MD 555 series of Benassi wheeled brush cutters consists of single-speed self-propelled machines with a line cutting head and a 55 cm cutting width. The drive system assists forward movement when working on agricultural surfaces, uneven ground and plots with tall grass. The steel head uses heavy-duty line suitable for cutting thick herbaceous vegetation; the belt transmission provides an intermediate connection between the engine and cutting unit. Two separate levers on the handlebar control the drive and the rotation of the cutting head, allowing the machine to move with the cutting line disengaged. The MD 555 R model features a 150 cm³ Rato R150 engine and is recommended for areas up to 2,000 m². The MD 555 H is equipped with a 166 cm³ Honda GCVx 170 engine and is recommended for areas up to 2,500 m². Both are designed for semi-professional cutting in orchards, vineyards, olive groves and uncultivated areas.

A Benassi wheeled brush cutter is designed to cut tall grass, weeds and spontaneous vegetation across large areas. It is suitable for orchards, vineyards, olive groves and uncultivated areas where achieving the regular finish of a lawn mower is not the main objective. The line head cuts herbaceous vegetation, while the self-propelled system assists forward movement.

A wheeled brush cutter is designed for tall and spontaneous grass; a lawn mower maintains a lawn at a more uniform height. Benassi MD 555 models use a line cutting head and do not collect the cut material. A lawn mower is therefore more suitable for an ornamental lawn requiring a regular cut.

Self-propelled means that the transmission drives the wheels and assists forward movement. The operator guides the machine from the handlebar and engages the drive using a dedicated lever. A second lever controls the cutting head separately, allowing the machine to move with the line stationary.

Benassi wheeled models are also designed for uneven agricultural ground and feature driven wheels with a deep tread. Slopes, grip and obstacles must nevertheless remain within the limits specified in the individual model’s manual. Before working, the ground must be assessed and any objects that could be thrown by the cutting head must be removed.

Benassi MD 555 models are suitable for tall grass, weeds and thick herbaceous vegetation. The standard head uses heavy-duty line and offers a working width of 55 cm. For woody shrubs, mature brambles or other materials, the cutting-unit compatibility specified by the manufacturer must be checked, without fitting unauthorised accessories.

The choice mainly depends on the engine and recommended surface area. The MD 555 R features a 150 cm³ Rato R150 engine and is recommended for areas up to 2,000 m²; the MD 555 H features a 166 cm³ Honda GCVx 170 engine and is recommended for areas up to 2,500 m². Both are single-speed self-propelled models with a line cutting head and a 55 cm cutting width.

The 55 cm cutting width defines the strip covered with each pass under the specified conditions. A wide cutting path is useful on large plots with adequate manoeuvring space. The actual working time also depends on grass density and height, slopes, obstacles and forward speed.

Benassi MD 555 models feature a steel head with heavy-duty cutting line; the AgriEuro product page recommends a diameter of 4 mm for the MD 555 H. Replacement line must comply with the diameter, length and fitting procedure specified in the machine manual. Unsuitable line may affect cutting and place stress on the cutting unit.

Maintenance includes periodic checks of the engine oil, air filter, spark plug, cutting line, belt and fasteners, following the intervals and procedures in the manual. The machine must be switched off and allowed to cool before any work is performed. For storage and residual fuel, follow the specific instructions for the fitted engine.

Cutting work requires the personal protective equipment specified in the manual, including eye and hearing protection, gloves, long trousers and suitable footwear. Before starting the machine, inspect the surface and remove stones, branches, metal wires and other objects. People and animals must remain beyond the prescribed safety distance.
