Choose among our range of brush cutters: use our filters

Here is a QUICK GUIDE for the FILTERS in the column below to help you select quickly and effectively, in a few simple steps, the model that best suits your needs in this range of Brush Cutters. The first two filters, BRAND and PRICE, depend on your personal preferences. In fact, the catalogue includes brush cutters by the best brands on the market, of different prices depending on your needs. Among the most famous brush cutter brands, renowned for their quality and reliability, you can find Kawasaki and Ryobi.

• The first thing you need to consider is the PRODUCT LEVEL: select a level high enough to satisfy the intensity and frequency with which you will use your brush cutter;
• TYPE: the single-handle type is undoubtedly the most popular because it is the most versatile to work in any condition, on level, sloping or even vertical ground; instead, the handlebar is suitable for long work sessions since the back of the operator remains straighter, avoiding fatigue; the backpack version is a niche product for those who prefer to carry the engine weight on their shoulders instead of the arms, although the brush cutter weighs more; the multifunctional brush cutters are unique products, designed for those seeking a machine with many accessories, to prune or cut high hedges;
• DISPLACEMENT: the brush cutter size, which should be chosen based on the intensity and difficulty of the cut. Brush cutters for small finishes along walls and driveways reach up to 25 – 30 cc, while medium-sized classic brush cutters reach up to 35 – 40 cc. This is the top-selling category, suitable for small jobs but powerful enough for occasional more demanding jobs; instead, large-displacement brush cutters reach up to 45 – 50 cc, for the heaviest and most demanding jobs, and even more the models over 50 cc; remember that if the use is prolonged over time, choosing a heavy-duty brand is more important than displacement if you want your product to be long-lasting;
• MOTOR TYPE: usually, electric brush cutters are chosen for less demanding jobs and if there is a power socket available nearby; even battery-powered ones are suitable for limited jobs (except 60V or 80V high-voltage models with higher power and running time that, as electric 220V models, give you the possibility to work anywhere); in addition, engine-powered machines, robust and with higher power depending on the displacement, divided in 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines;
• NOMINAL POWER: it basically depends on the displacement, so we will just say that it is considered low up to 1 HP, medium up to 1.5 HP, high up to 2 HP, very high over 2HP;
• SHAFT DIAMETER: this is the main indicator of the brush cutter strength, besides the motor: the transmission shaft, which is often underestimated compared to the motor. On the contrary, this is the real weakness of brush cutters, the first one to break; but before considering the diameter, you have to consider the shaft origin, because even today the Italian, German and Japanese shafts are the most robust and durable, while the Chinese ones are usually a bit more fragile, that is why you should always pay attention to the product description; besides that, a 26 mm diameter is considered of medium robustness;
• NET WEIGHT: it depends on the displacement and size of the brush cutter, that is why if you need a light tool you will choose a small displacement, while if you need power, the machine will necessarily be heavier; up to 6 kg the brush cutter is lightweight and handy for everyone, medium weight up to 7 kg, medium-high up to 8 kg (but you can also find large and powerful 50 cc machines in this category, such as Kawasaki ones), over 8 kg the products are considered heavy but generally they are backpack machines.
