What is a brushcutter? Posted by : admin / Posted on : Oct 03,2025

1. Basic Definition: A brushcutter is a handheld garden tool primarily used for tasks such as cutting shrubs and weeds, mowing lawns, and harvesting crops. Its core is powered by a gasoline engine (or electric motor), which drives a metal blade or nylon rope at high speed via a drive shaft to achieve cutting.
2. Main Components: It includes an engine, clutch, drive shaft assembly, blade (or nylon rope), handle, and back strap, providing reliable power in various working environments.
3. Drive Type: Based on the transmission structure, it can be divided into flexible shaft drive and rigid shaft (straight rod) drive. Based on the power source, it can be divided into gasoline, AC, and DC.
4. Applications: A brushcutter is widely used in landscaping, forestry clearing, farmland weeding, and municipal landscaping. It is a common and efficient tool in gardening, forestry, and agricultural operations.
What accessories or special tools are needed to cut thick brush with a brushcutter?
Accessories or special tools needed for cutting thick brush with a brushcutter

1. Thickened Alloy Blade: Made from a high-strength alloy (such as SK5), this extended slotted blade features a high number of teeth and a sharp edge, effectively cutting through thick brush and extending its lifespan.

2. Multi-tooth Blade: Equipped with a multi-tooth blade (such as a 9-inch 36-tooth blade), this blade has dense teeth and a wide cutting surface, enabling fast cutting through thick brush and reducing the risk of blade jamming.

3. Reinforced Handle and Guard: A reinforced handle and guard increase the tool's torsional strength, preventing deformation or breakage during high-resistance cutting.

4. Dedicated Power Transmission Kit: This includes a high-torque flexible or rigid shaft transmission kit and a reinforced clutch to ensure smooth, stall-free power transmission even when working under heavy loads in thick brush.
