Gardening is a hobby that can brighten up any space. There are multiple essential tools that you will need to help you achieve your gardening goals. At BS Power, we provide essential gardening equipment such as brushcutters, mowers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers and more.
The brushcutter is a piece of gardening equipment designed for cutting through vegetation. It can be used to cut through grass, weeds and thick undergrowth. They are usually used for areas that require precise and detailed work. In this article, we explore how a brushcutter can make your gardening easier and more enjoyable.
What Is A Brushcutter And What Can They Be Used For?
Brushcutters are a high-powered gardening tool that is used to cut through dense undergrowth. It is particularly helpful in hard to reach areas as it can get to places that a mower wouldn’t be able to reach. It has a motor attached with a long shaft and either sharp blades or powerful nylon string attached to the rotating end. The durable trimmers are able to cut through a variety of vegetation.
It can also be used to trim bushes and small trees in a precise and easy manner. Brushcutters are not as heavy and bulky as mowers, but they are just as powerful when used for the correct tasks around your garden. They are both nimble and strong making them the ideal tool for quick and easy garden maintenance.
There are many uses for a brush cutting machine. As noted, their main function is to cut through grass patches, but there are other things that a brushcutter can do, let’s review some of them in this section below:
- Sometimes vegetation is too thick for a regular lawnmower to cut through and brushcutters are needed to first trim the thick vegetation before using the lawnmower. If a lawnmower is used on vegetation that is too dense, then grass and weeds may get stuck in the mower. The durable blades or powerful nylon string are well designed to handle the difficult tasks.
- When mowing a lawn, it is essential to clear any debris that might get caught in the mower, but when vegetation is thick it can be difficult to clear out hidden debris. Brushcutters aren’t as affected by hidden debris as they can’t get caught in the blades or nylon string as easily. They can be used to trim through tough grass before it is, and you’ll be able to see any unwanted debris more clearly.
- Undergrowth is a thick concentrated growth of shrubs, weeds, and other plants. It is typically found under bushes and at the base of trees. It can be tricky to trim undergrowth as it can be difficult to reach, and the dense nature of undergrowth means that shears or a lawnmower may not be effective.
Brushcutters are useful tools when it comes to clearing undergrowth. Because they have a long shaft, you can easily reach under bushes without having to get on the ground. For example, if there was a thorny bush with weeds growing at its base, it would be tricky for a person to get under the bush without injuring themselves, but with a brushcutter you can easily extend the trimmer underneath the bush while maintaining a safe distance. In this way you can manage undergrowth easily.
- The design of these cutters makes it the ideal piece of equipment to manage hard to reach places. You are able to position the head of the machine along fences, walls, and small crawl areas because of the design. They are also designed to allow for precise tasks. Brushcutters are light and small enough to manage exactly where you would like to trim. They can be used to trim pathways and edges along lawns in a way that lawnmowers aren’t able to. Further, their design makes them the perfect tool for the task of shaping bushes and shrubs.
- Having the perfectly shaped bush adds a touch of elegance to any garden. It can be a conversation starter and an attraction to your beautiful garden. A brushcutter can be used to shape bushes and shrubbery.
The head of brushcutters can be interchangeable with different attachments that can allow them to be used for trimming grass as well as trimming hedges. With the correct attachment, the brushcutters can be effectively on bushes and hedges, not just the lawn like other gardening tools. They are able to remove small twigs, leaves, and stems to help keep your shrubbery looking neat and well maintained.
A brushcutter is essential for landscaping in both commercial and residential property management. They make gardening tasks much easier which will benefit your property. Having a well-maintained garden can add to the value of your property. Usually, to maintain a particular area you would need multiple tools, including a lawnmower, hedge trimmer and shears, but with brushcutters all these tasks can be handled effectively. This saves you money on tooling expenses as well.
Different Kinds Of Brushcutters
If you are wanting to maintain your lawn, pathways and shape your hedges and trees, then having brushcutters is essential as we showed in the section above. If you are having trouble managing your garden due to lots of different vegetation, then we at BS Power may have an answer for you with our wide range of high quality brushcutters.
But what do you need from your brushcutter? Before you leap into purchasing your own brushcutters, it is important for you to know the different kinds on offer. Understanding the different models on the market will help you decide which one would suit your gardening needs best.
Brushcutters come with a whole host of functions and capabilities that make them effective for different environments. One way in which cutters differ is through the different power sources they use. Generally, the majority of brushcutters use one of two power methods. These include:
- Brushcutters which are electrically powered. These models are usual plugged into a power socket. You also get battery operated brushcutters win this way you can avoid using an electrical cord, but the batteries need to be charged constantly, in order to use the machine.
- Then you get the powerful petrol-powered brushcutter which is ideal for extensive gardening work, or on larger commercial or residential properties.
At BS Power, we stock three types of brushcutters. Although they are all good options, each type has its own advantages and disadvantages. Let’s look at some of those here:
Electric
An electrical brushcutter is lighter and quieter. However, they are connected with an electrical cord, which does limit their movement. This makes them the perfect choice for homeowners with a small garden or in residential areas with noise restrictions. Although the machine is small, it is still very powerful and able to cut through hard-to-reach areas in your garden.
Because they are generally lighter than petrol-powered brushcutters, they are super easy to move around your garden. The handles of the electrical brushcutter options at BS power have ergonomic designs which make them easy to control. They also have triggers on the handle which allows you to trim the perfect edge safely and easily.
Battery Powered
At BS Power, we have two cordless brushcutter options. We have both battery operated and petrol-powered machines. The battery-powered option offers the convenience of mobility. They are generally lightweight and easy to use because they are cordless.
Luckily the machine is efficient in terms of power consumption and can be used for about twenty to thirty minutes on a single battery charge. This makes it a perfect choice for smaller spaces which don’t take up too much time to maintain.
Fuel Powered
Our most durable and long-lasting option for cordless operation is our petrol-powered brushcutter. These models are well designed for larger spaces. This includes cutters that are suitable for farming purposes. They are able to take on heavy duty agricultural tasks.
These machines have powerful engine motors which are needed for their heavy-duty tasks. Although the machine can appear robust, they are designed to be easy to use and as light as possible. Some of these brushcutters have two bar handles to help you manoeuvre the cutters exactly where you want it. There are even harnesses that can be used to help you carry the slightly heavier and more robust models.
There are also attachments which can be used with certain models. These attachments allow for versatility. The attachments are generally fitted on the head of the machine to change how the cutter is used.
A brushcutter might look small in the design, but don’t mistake their size as a reflection of their power. They are designed to be easy to handle but their powerful motors; regardless of how they are powered; can handle the labour of maintaining a beautiful garden. They are the star of all gardening equipment as they are powerful and versatile. Head over to the BS Power products section to find out more and find your perfect brushcutter.
