The main advantage of gas trimmers is the ability to work offline , regardless of the power supply. In this case, the tool gives a lot of power, respectively, the grass mowing will be very fast. But they all differ in their characteristics, and sometimes it is very difficult to make the right choice. In this article we will tell you how to choose a gas trimmer for certain parameters.
Power
Before you buy a gas trimmer, pay attention to its power. It is from this characteristic that its further performance and durability will veil. When choosing a gas trimmer, make sure that the power of the device will satisfy you. Here you can be guided by the principle: "the more power, the more grass you mow." If you will use a trimmer as a cultivator or a snow blower (with the help of special nozzles), be aware that you will need a motor 2 times more powerful for this. Of course, engine noise cannot be avoided, but you can make it quieter. To do this, it is better to purchase four-stroke units - they are slightly quieter than push-pull ones. And, by the way, the oil here does not need to be mixed together with gasoline - they need to be individually charged with a gasoline trimmer. You won’t be able to buy such a device cheaply - sometimes the price for it is 2 times higher than for other types of motors. But, you see, working with a quiet engine is much more pleasant. Trimmer power is determined in Watts (W), as well as kilowatts (kW). Do not forget that the motor should be as light as possible and at the same time easy to start, otherwise fatigue will overtake you in the first minutes of operation.
How to choose a gas trimmer for tank volume?
Before choosing, determine the desired tank volume. To do this, compare the area of your site and the required uptime. Then you can choose between a large or a small volume of the fuel tank. Remember that a larger tank will have significantly more weight. But at the same time, you will not refuel it so often.
How to choose a gas trimmer by classification?
If you plan to mow thickets of weeds on your estate, you will need a professional trimmer for this. Also this type is suitable if you will mow grass for livestock. If you have a well-kept garden and mow grass only superficially, you do not need a professional trimmer. Also pay attention to the cutting head of the equipment. In the presence of a large number of trees (for example, in the garden), the use of metal knives is strongly discouraged, since if the tool stumbles on a tree, not only the trimmer, but also the green space will be damaged. It is better to use blades with a cutting line.
How to choose a gas trimmer in the shape of a pen?
An important characteristic is the shape of the handle. Convenience of operation will depend on it. The shape is most often determined, depending on the type of estate. For example, if you need to process a large area, buy a device with a T-shaped handle. And if you need to work on a difficult site with a large number of pits and ravines, choose a D-shaped handle.
