Here is a QUICK GUIDE to purchasing from this vast range of brush cutters, to help you identify the model best suited to your needs in a few simple steps. We will therefore show you how to best use the FILTERS, which allow you to make a quick and effective selection. Please note that you can also make multiple selections on each of them.

The first two filters, BRAND and PRICE, are purely subjective factors and do not require any particular suggestions. The catalogue offers brush cutter models manufactured by the best brands on the market, in all price ranges, depending on your needs. Among the trusted brands in the brush cutter sector are, among others, brands known for the quality and reliability of their products, including Kawasaki, Stiga, and RYOBI.

• When choosing a brush cutter, it is first necessary to consider the PRODUCT LEVEL: it is essential to consider the intensity and frequency of use for which the brush cutter is intended, and to select a level high enough to satisfy these requirements.
• Power supply: generally, it is best to opt for electric brush cutters forsmaller jobs and in any case if you have access to an electrical outlet; battery-powered models are also always recommended for limited jobs (except for high-voltage 60V or 80V models with higher power and autonomy) which, like 220V electric models, offer the possibility of operating anywhere. in addition, combustion engine models are generally sturdy machines with higher motor power ratings and are divided into 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines;
• Power and autonomy: Power varies depending on the type of engine. This is proportional to the displacement, so we will simply say that it is considered low up to 1 HP, medium up to 1.5 HP, high up to 2 HP, and very high above 2 HP. Petrol brush cutters offer high power, ideal for intensive work. Battery-powered models offer a good balance between power and autonomy, with batteries that can last from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the model and the intensity of the work.
• Net weight: proportional to the displacement and size of the brush cutter. Therefore, if you want a lightweight brush cutter, you will have to settle for a small displacement, while if you need power, the machine will necessarily be heavier; up to 6 kg, brush cutters remain very light and easy to handle for anyone, while up to 7 kg their weight is medium and up to 8 kg medium-high. Above 8 kg, the machines are heavy but are generally equipped with a backpack motor.
• Bevel gear and cutting system: The bevel gear transmits the rotary motion from the motor to the cutting head. Cutting systems can use wire or blade heads. Wire heads are ideal for grass and trimming, while metal blades are suitable for brush and small shrubs. The wires can be of different thicknesses and shapes, while the blades can vary in number of teeth and material.
• Noise emission and pollutant emissions: Battery-powered brush cutters are quieter and produce fewer emissions than petrol models, making them ideal for use in residential and noise-sensitive areas.
• Multifunctionality: Some brush cutters are equipped with accessories that allow them to perform multiple functions such as grass cutting, pruning and hedge trimming. This versatility makes them very practical tools for garden maintenance.

Brush cutters are available with different types of power sources, each with specific characteristics and advantages. The choice of power source affects the performance, autonomy and practicality of the tool.

Petrol brush cutters use internal combustion engines and are powered by fuel. They are available with two different types of engines:

• 2-stroke: these are lighter and simpler in construction but require a mixture of petrol and oil to operate.
• 4-stroke: these run on petrol only and have a separate oil tank, making them more environmentally friendly and producing lower emissions.

The main difference between 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines is that 2-stroke engines complete the combustion cycle in two stages, ensuring greater specific power and lightness, but require a mixture of petrol and engine oil. 4-stroke engines, on the other hand, complete the cycle in four stages, making them more efficient, environmentally friendly and with less vibration. They are more complex and heavier but offer cleaner and quieter operation.

The displacement is the size of the brush cutter and should be chosen based on the intensity of use and the difficulty of cutting. Up to 25-30 cc, these are tools designed for small finishing touches along walls and paths, while up to 35-40 cc are the most popular classic medium brush cutters. This class is the best-selling, being suitable for small jobs, but with enough power to tackle intensive work; the 45-50 cc displacement includes high-performance brush cutters for heavier and more demanding jobs, while models over 50 cc express the maximum potential for the category.

Brush cutters can have various special features that can make a difference when choosing the model that best suits your needs. Here are some of the most relevant special features:

• Handles: the single handle is undoubtedly the most popular, partly because it is perhaps the most versatile for working in all conditions, whether on flat, sloping or vertical terrain; the handlebar, on the other hand, is suitable for those who perform long work sessions, as it prevents back strain; the backpack handle is designed for those who prefer to carry the entire weight of the motor on their shoulders rather than their arms, although the overall weight of the brush cutter is greater; multifunction brush cutters are a separate category, designed for those who want a machine with many accessories, so they can also carry out pruning or mowing work.
• Harnesses: Harnesses are essential for distributing the weight of the brush cutter evenly. There are models with simple harnesses, usually found on single-handle models, and 4- or 5-point harnesses, also known as "backpack" harnesses. The latter distribute the weight across the hips and shoulders, improving comfort and reducing fatigue.
• Pole diameter: this is the main factor that determines the sturdiness of the brush cutter.The transmission pole is often mistakenly underestimated compared to the motor. On the contrary, this is the real weak point of brush cutters; even before checking the diameter, it is therefore necessary to ascertain the origin of the pole, bearing in mind that even today, Italian, German or Japanese poles are the most sturdy and durable, while Chinese ones are generally a little more fragile. A diameter of 26 mm is considered to be of average strength.
• Internal drive shafts: Shafts can be rigid or flexible. Rigid shafts offer greater strength and durability, while flexible shafts are lighter and easier to handle but may be less durable under intense stress.
• Safety equipment: Safety is paramount when using brush cutters. Safety equipment includes protective helmets and visors, ear defenders, rip-resistant jackets and trousers, protective gloves and safety footwear. These accessories protect the operator from accidents and improve overall safety during use.
• Anti-vibration systems: Some brush cutters are equipped with anti-vibration systems that reduce the vibrations transmitted to the operator. This increases comfort and allows you to work longer without fatigue.
• Easy start features: Many modern models are equipped with easy start systems such as primers and decompressors, which make starting the engine easier and faster by reducing the effort required to start the brush cutter.
• Interchangeable heads: Some models offer the option of easily changing the cutting head from a string head to a cutting blade in a few simple steps. This increases the versatility of the tool and makes it suitable for a variety of cutting tasks.

Choosing the right brush cutter depends on your specific needs, which can vary greatly between professional and domestic use.

Professional brush cutters must be sturdy, powerful and able to withstand long periods of intensive work. The main features to consider are:

• Motor power: For professional use, a petrol brush cutter with a displacement of more than 35 cc is recommended. 2-stroke engines offer greater specific power, while 4-stroke engines ensure cleaner and quieter operation.
