Brush cutter recommendation

adocholiday · 2024-07-08 12:34:33

Hi all, Just looking for a recommendation for a brush cutter. Currently have a procut one that I got in Woodies a few years back, but that's reached the end of its life now and I want to replace it with something better. It had plenty of cutting power (it's 48cc I think) but weighed a lot and kept burning out the ignition…

Hi all,
Just looking for a recommendation for a brush cutter. Currently have a procut one that I got in Woodies a few years back, but that's reached the end of its life now and I want to replace it with something better. It had plenty of cutting power (it's 48cc I think) but weighed a lot and kept burning out the ignition coil because it was probably not designed for the amount of work I was putting it through. I have a sizeable plot of ground that's been completely overtaken by bracken so every summer it's a constant battle to strim it back.
So basically need something of similar power, petrol powered because battery would run out, (I'd often get through 3 tanks in a run), but a bit more lightweight and that can take heavy work.
