Recommend a brush cutter

[darreni]

My old ryobi petrol strimmer is now 20 years old and starting to give a bit of bother.
Along with now having a bigger garden and a stretch of river bank to maintain I’m considering buying a new brush cutter. Any recommendations around the £200/250 mark?

Very impressed with the build quality of my Hyundai petrol powered products

Stihl every time.

Or Husqvarna,equally as good as Stihl.

Just bought the Toolstation Hawksmoor (their own brand) 50cc jobby and so far its been excellent and an instant starter. £150 with brush cutter and line reel. Spent £15 on a better harness on amazon.

Had the swcrewfix titan on before and it went back. Got through two. Crap cab with a choke that is set wrong. Nothing lost in terms of money.

I'm a few times a year user (brambles). If it were more I'd spend more and get a stihl.

FYI the difference between 25cc and 50cc with the brush cutter on is night and day with the latter not getting bogged at all.
