To spend less time and effort on mowing grass on a site, it is necessary to use the mechanisms intended for this purpose - gasoline pumps, trimmers and lawn mowers. With their help it will be possible to maintain the territory adjacent to the house in excellent condition. The advantage of a gasoline pump is that it is not "tied" to a power source, like an electric braid. In addition, its use makes it possible to mow the grass on uneven areas of the terrain, as well as in hard-to-reach places( for example, under a bush).It is also less safe, because when using electricity, there is always the possibility of electric shock.
What should I look for when choosing a gasoline pump?
Since the purpose of the braid is to mow the vegetation, the first thing to do is look at the cutting tool. Household gasoline pumps are equipped with steel or plastic knives. As a cutting part, a saw blade or nylon wood is also used. Proceeding from this, it is necessary to take into account that the fishing line is absolutely unsuitable for work on sites where there are thickets of bush. She also will not be able to cut off small branches and young shoots near trees. Knives made of plastic, in turn, can not be sharpened.
It is better to purchase more universal models, in which there is the possibility of changing the cutting tool. At the same time, it is necessary to ask how easy and quickly such a replacement is made. It is necessary to understand that steel knives and disks are dull during operation. And then what? If they are sharpened, how? Can I do it myself? If the manufacturer provides a spare cutting tool, how much is it in the package and can it be purchased at retail? After all, the gasoline tank itself is designed for a long service life. A steel knife can break, but where can I get another?
Chainsaws have, as a rule, 2 or 4-stroke "engine".The former have a slightly lower weight, but the noise at their work is much greater. Although in the kit can go headphones, which are used during work. Therefore, everyone chooses the model at their own discretion. Power "spit" can reach up to 1.5 hp. Another such nuance - the 4T models should be kept somewhat inclined, at an angle. This is necessary to get oil on all parts of the braid. But 2T models can be kept as you like, in any position they work steadily.
Practice shows that angular models are less reliable, and they have less power. However, with a "bent" rod, steel knives are not used, since with such a configuration, the knife can easily be broken. There are models with a folding bar, but they are short-lived.
Handles can have different shapes. They are called T, D or J-shaped. T-shaped handle is well suited for working on open and relatively flat areas. This configuration repeats the shape of the traditional braid and allows you to make large wide "swings".The handle in the form D is more suitable for processing "difficult" areas: along fences and structures, under bushes, among trees. For areas with high vegetation well suited braid with a handle J-shaped. By the way, it is the best in terms of safety.
And yet, focusing on the technical characteristics and cost of a particular model, do not forget about the convenience of using this "this" scythe. If it is well "lays down" in the hands, does not impede the movements, then, most likely, your choice is made correctly. I recommend to see the video - a specialist tells about the choice of motorbike and its maintenance:
