It’s not the lightest unit at 8kg net weight, so if you’re doing overhead trimming all day your shoulders will feel it by lunch. But for ground-level brush and thick weed mats, that heft actually helps keep the blade planted and stable through the cut.
We’ve had these out on commerical sites clearing 500m² lots in a single pass, and the 42.7cc two-stroke pulls through dense stuff without bogging down—1.7HP is decent grunt for the displacement. The 28mm shaft is thicker than most consumer-grade poles (usually 24mm or 26mm), so torsional flex is pretty much gone when you’re hacking at saplings or heavy thistle.
What it does is combine a diaphragm carb and CDI ignition, which means no fuel pump to fuss with and a consistent spark even at low idle. You’ll want to mix at 25:1—that’s not a typo, it’s richer than the 40:1 or 50:1 some newer saws run, but it keeps teh piston cooler under sustained load. Fuel tank is 1.2L, which gives you about 20–25 minutes of wide-open before you need to refill.
included metal blade is fine for general clearing, though if you’re doing serious brush with woody stems over 15mm diameter, you’ll want to swap it for a heavier-duty carbide-tipped unit—we usually stock those seprately, but confirm lead time. The nylon head is better for lighter grass and edging around beds, not for thick brambles.
You get an SGS certifcation on the paperwork, and our company can provide a COA for the engine batch if needed—just ask when ordering. OEM service is availble for private labeling, but MOQ is 50 units or so for that. Warranty runs 8 months, which is shorter than some consumer brands, but we’ve found most commercial operators replace these within two seasons anyway.
Stick with the 25:1 gas-to-oil mix for this 42.7cc engine. It’s what keeps the 2-stroke lubed and running clean—any leaner mix risks engine damage.
For OEM orders, we usually ship within 30-45 days after sample approval. MOQ is around 500 units, but we can be flexible depending on the customization.
The SGS cert applies to the complete unit, including the 28mm shaft and attachments. It’s a full product certification, not just the engine.
We can adjust the shaft packaging to a smaller split box design on OEM orders. Just let us know the max length you need and we’ll custom-fit it.
The 8-month warranty covers the whole machine, including the carburetor and CDI. If either fails from normal use, we’ll replace it—just send us a video of the problem.
