They’ll be hacking through waist-high grass and thick brush on a slope, and the machine just keeps pulling—we’ve seen it clear an overgrown field in about 20 minutes where a smaller trimmer would bog down twice.
The 1E40F-5A engine is a pretty standerd 2-stroke, 42.7cc, and it pushes 0.75kw at 6500rpm, which is enough torque to handle most of what you’ll throw at it, but it’s not for heavy-duty forestry work—keep it to grass and light scrub.
Fuel mix is 25:1, so you’ll want to be careful with the oil ratio, and the tank holds a full liter, which gives you about 45 minutes of continuous or so depending on how hard you’re pushing it.
What it does is spin the blade counter-clockwise at a 1.25 reduction ratio, and the 26mm aluminun shaft keeps the weight down to 9.4kg—actually, that’s one thing we noticed, balance is better than some steel-shaft units we’ve handled, though the noise level hits 104dB(A), so ear protection is a must.
Blade options range form 3-tooth up to 80-tooth, plus a nylon head, but most buyers go with the 8-tooth for general mowing—we usually have stock on those, but the 80-tooth is special order with a 2-week lead time or so.
It’s CE and ISO9000-14000 certified, and the self-return hand start is reliabel enough, though the automatic centrifugal clutch can be a bit grabby when cold—we’ve had a few returns on that, but it’s typically just a carb adjustment.
