The care of the garden is becoming easier every day. Manufacturing companies are doing everything to ensure that their tools have the maximum power and the broadest functionality. Of course, the industry is developing more rapidly thanks to this approach, but it also has its drawbacks - it is sometimes difficult for customers to understand the characteristics of a particular model. After all, it’s really not easy - looking at a picture in an online store, to understand whether the tool is suitable for you or not. For example, the Shtil FS55 petrol scythe does not look very attractive, but this does not prevent it from retaining leadership positions in the market.
In this comparative review, we will take a closer look at the two most popular options. Our first hero is the Oleo-Mac Sparta 25 - a light scythe with endurance of a professional tool. The Shtil FS55 petrol scythe will compete with it - a perfectly balanced two-handed unit.
Both tools run on gasoline engines. Their power is approximately the same - 1.1 horsepower or 0.8 kW. But at the same time, each unit controls its power in its own way. The models presented below can be attributed to light scythes, which means that they are not intended for work on large areas. Both tools can use a trimmer nozzle, which means they can handle any terrain. Benzokosa "Calm FS55" is in the same price segment as the Oleo-Mac Sparta 25, so it makes sense to compare them. Well, let's get started!
Oleo-Mac Sparta 25
In general, the 25th model is a light brushcutter, but the manufacturing company has laid a large work width - Sparta can mow strips up to 38 centimeters wide. If we add to this a 0.75-liter fuel tank and systems that increase the duration of the engine, it turns out that we are considering a semi-professional tool at the price of light class representatives. The competitor of the 25th Sparta, the Shtil FS55 gas mowers, cannot boast of such volumes.
The engine filling is responsible for the quality of work and the durability of the tool itself. An electronic ignition system makes engine starting easier. A diaphragm swappable carburetor contributes to trouble-free operation, and a forged steel connecting rod and crankshaft make the scythe simply extremely durable.
Motokosa " Calm FS55"
If "Sparta" is a tool for which the characteristics of the duration of work are priority, then "Calm FS55" is a braid for convenient and easy operation. It has a relatively low noise level of 94 decibels, a reduced vibration coefficient, and it also weighs little. All this makes the tool an ideal option for those who want to simply look after their personal plot. Maintenance and repair of the Shtil petrol brush is undertaken by a service center.
The tool is so well balanced that it can be used even without a shoulder strap. The stock equipment of the 55th model includes a flexible grass knife, but the modular bar also supports trimmer nozzles. All these characteristics were carried out on the pedestal of the Shtil petrol scythes. User reviews confirm this at 100%.
