Trimmers and Brush Cutters

Those who mow your lawn in your yard or garden sooner or later decide to buy an additional trimmer or brushcutter. A trimmer in homesteads or other areas is usually required to mow the grass in places where it is difficult or impossible to maneuver with the mower. This may be near a fence, stones, or other objects that interfere with free movement with the mower. Trimmers and brushcutters are also great helpers to cut small, thick-branched shrubs or trees when needed. When looking to buy a trimmer, you can choose from electric, petrol and battery trimmers.

Electric and cordless trimmers are highly valued and often chosen by nature lovers who care about ecology and make sure their activities cause as little negative impact on the environment as possible. In fact, both types do not pollute the environment and do not emit an unpleasant odor, unlike gasoline trimmers. Another advantage of these types of tools is quiet work. With an electric or cordless trimmer, you can go and manage your environment early in the morning or at night - you won't get any noise from your neighbors because of the noise, as the electric trimmer makes minimal noise when working.

For those who ask which of these two types of brushcutters is better to choose, it is difficult to give an unambiguous answer. Both types have their advantages and disadvantages. For example, electric trimmers are often bent negatively because they are designed to work in a limited area. This means that the electric trimmer can move as far away from the power source as the cord of the appliance allows you to do. Of course, a few years can help a prolonger win. However, the cord, which, among other things, still needs to be stored when mowing and is not damaged, is certainly not an advantage. The battery trimmer, meanwhile, is superior in this respect and incomparably more mobile. Still, cordless trimmers face another problem. It is not possible to work with them continuously for a longer period of time. In fact, the average operating time of a battery trimmer with a fully charged battery is less than an hour. This means that if the battery is discharged, the work will have to be delayed and completed later by recharging the battery. It must also be acknowledged that cordless trimmers are quite heavy and therefore not always comfortable to maneuver.

There is nothing to hide, gasoline trimmers are the most popular among users. They are valued for their convenience. Gasoline trimmers are convenient to use in a large area. Issues of power source location or battery charging are no longer relevant for this type of trimmer. When the fuel in the tank runs out, you can easily refill it without major problems and you can continue the work you have started. This trimmer is also convenient to use in open areas that are difficult for the mower to overcome, such as on lawns with steeper hills or depressions. In addition, petrol trimmers are versatile and suitable not only for trimming hard-to-reach places, but also for cutting young shrubs or young trees.

However, this is not a perfect option, as these trimmers at a price that would be extremely friendly to the buyer’s pocket, unfortunately, cannot boast. These brushcutters are the most expensive of the three types already discussed, so if you expect savings, you will have to reject the gasoline type as unsuitable. It should also be noted that trimmer motors can be of two types: two-stroke and four-stroke. Purchasing a gasoline trimmer with a two-stroke engine would require more time to service the device and mix gasoline with grease. In addition, two-stroke engines are weaker than four-stroke ones. Another aspect that can make a gasoline trimmer unattractive is the energy source. Those who care about ecology and clean air are also likely to question the suitability of this type of trimmer for home use.
