Brush Cutter Buying Guide

Brush cutters offer excellent flexibility. They’re made to be great at trimming the backyard, clearing bush or undergrowth, or even cutting down saplings. Strong and robust, this is the perfect machine for your backyard maintenance. 

What's Right for You?

When choosing a reliable brush cutter, stick with the petrol models. Electric are fine for trimming a small suburban yard, but won’t be able to tackle tougher tasks. Depending on the job, you can switch out the tool being used. All our brush cutters come with a harness, so that no matter how much work you need to do, you’ll have as little stress on your back as possible.
