We've been shiping the BG520 to EU buyers for over two years now, and most go with the 26mm pipe setup for general brush work—it's basically the standerd for that market. CE and EMC certs are already in place, so you're covered for customs clearance without extra legwork.
The 52cc two-stroke engine hits 1.65kw at 8500rpm, which is pretty much what you need for clearing dense scrub or tea trees, but it's not ideal for fine lawn trimming—the straight metal blade is better suited for rough stuff than manicured grass. Fuel mix is 1:25 or 1:40 depending on your oil, and the 1200ml tank gives about 45 minutes of continuous run time, give or take. Idle speed sits at 3000rpm, and the 9-tooth shaft handles torque well on thicker growth. Import docs are straightforward—our company provide COA with each shipment, and the HS code is 8467890000.
You'll get the shoulder strap included, which helps with the weight over long days—most operators find it balances well once the tank is full. Lead time is usually 20 days or so, but confirm if you need a rush order.
For US buyers, we can adjust the carburetor tuning to meet EPA standard if needed, though standard setup works fine for most commerical landscaping outfits. We've also seen some interest from UK distributors lately, and the 5-in-1 attachments save them from buying separate tools. We usually have stock ready, but check lead time before placing a large order.
One thing that catches first-time buyers is teh pipe diameter—you've got 26mm or 28mm, and swapping later is a hassle, so pick the one that matches your existing attachments. Anyway, the 5-in-1 kit basically covers everything form edging to brush, which is why most go for that bundle.
You should use a 2-cycle oil mix with gasoline at a ratio of either 1:25 or 1:40, depending on the oil brand and its recommendations. Just make sure to mix it thoroughly before pouring into the 1200ml tank.
Yes, we keep steady stock levels. Lead time is usually 7-15 days after order confirmation, depending on your location and shipping method. For larger bulk orders, we may need a bit more time.
It comes with CE and EMC certifications, and we can provide copies upon request. Just let us know, and we'll send them along with the shipment docs.
The pipe diameter is actually 26mm on one end and 28mm on the other, so it's not a choice—it's designed that way to fit different attachments. You won't need to pick one.
Our MOQ is 50 units for the first order, but we do offer sample orders for quality testing. Samples can be shipped in 3-5 days, and the cost is deducted from your bulk order if you proceed.
