Cutting bushes is a time consuming task. It is difficult to care for hedges and ornamental shrubs without a special tool. Information for summer residents who do not know how to choose a good brush cutter
Types of brush cutters
When purchasing a brush cutter, we pay attention to its functionality, efficiency in work, quality and price. At the beginning of the search, you should decide on the type of instrument. These are two large groups: automatic and manual. Automation involves the use of gasoline or electricity.
If there are no large plantations of shrubs on the site that require crown correction, then you can safely take a hand / mechanical tool. Hedges and numerous mowing objects are easier to handle automatically.
Gasoline brush cutter
In everyday life, a tool that runs on gasoline is called a brushcutter or a gas cutter. It is the ideal tool for trimming large areas. It is powerful and easily handles thick branches of old shrubs and undergrowth of trees.
In appearance, the device is similar to a gasoline saw. The cutting blade consists of a long knife with double-sided blades. They make the perfect cut, designed for long-term intense loads.
Convenience in work is created by the handle, which is fixed in several positions. The tool is mobile and allows you to work in any corner of the garden and beyond. Many people call the disadvantages of noise and weight (5, 5-6 kg). The price range is wide and starts from 8 thousand rubles. The most sophisticated brands will cost 15-17 thousand.
Electric brush cutter
Most summer residents, with plots of 6-8 acres, prefer to have an electric brush cutter. It looks the same as gasoline and the length of the blade is the same. It perfectly cuts off medium-sized branches up to 2 cm. Although the tool is tied to an outlet, an extension cable solves the problem. This is the only negative nuance, but there are many advantages.
• The brush cutter is lightweight, its weight ranges from 2.7-3.2 kg.
• You can work at any angle and inclination.
• In the process of cutting, it does not overload the back and arms, as it happens with the gasoline version.
• Ergonomic handle for comfortable handling.
• No exhaust fumes and low noise level.
Battery models fall into the same category. Charging is enough for an hour, the weight is more than that of a wired brush cutter (from 3, 8 kg). The price range for electric models is within 3-8 thousand rubles.
Mechanical brush cutter
Plantations that need regular mowing, with a small area, it is quite possible to work with a mechanical hedgecutter. Such a tool is often referred to as a hand tool. It is reliable and attractive at a price (1-2 thousand rubles).
The convenience of an ordinary brush cutter is appreciated by summer residents: there are no wires, no need to purchase fuel and use electricity. The low weight makes the tool affordable for women and people with poor health.
The manual hedgecutter resembles a pruner and has elongated or telescopic handles. Blades of 50-75 cm, made of strong steel, can easily cut branches up to 0.8 cm. On many models, the handles are reinforced and have an adjustment of the pressure mechanism of the blades. Such "scissors" will not cope with thick branches, but for correcting an ornamental bush - a great tool.
Slow work with a mechanical brush cutter eliminates errors in work. A hand cut is slower and you can easily create the line you want. This technique is maintenance-free and does not imply operating costs.
Cordless scissors
It is a versatile tool capable of performing several types of work. You can use it for trimming bushes and lawn edging, in places where the lawn mower is not effective (near stones, along paths, buildings).
The tool is compact, has removable attachments, of which there are two in the set: for branches and grass. The length of the double-sided blade for bushes is 18-20 cm, for grass 8-10 cm, the battery lasts for 60-90 minutes. Weight 0, 8-1, 2 kg, some models have telescopic handles and removable wheels. There is often an indicator on the handle to show the charge level. Price in the range of 4-5 thousand.
