The peculiarities of the dacha landscape do not always allow you to effectively use a wheeled lawn mower - it is problematic to mow the grass near trees, on steep slopes or near the curb with this technique. In this case, a petrol cutter will come to the rescue, which can easily work in hard-to-reach places.
There is a large selection of petrol cutter models on sale, but the rating of the best manufacturers has been headed for a long time by such brands as:
- Makita;
- Hitachi;
- Oleo-Mac;
- Patriot;
- Champion.
The products of these companies have high reliability, all the necessary functionality and good technical parameters. The attractive design and ergonomic design of the models makes the work as comfortable as possible.
When choosing a petrol cutter model, first of all, you need to decide on its power, which affects the productivity and intensity of work. Having a plot of several hundred square meters, it is hardly worth buying a powerful device, the resource of which will not be used. For cleaning the grass on the lawn near the estate, a household gas cutter is perfect, which has a low engine power and is less expensive than a professional model.
Here are some of the most popular household mowers that do the job perfectly.
TOP 5 best
Makita EM 2500U
This model of a popular Japanese brand can be confidently called an elite among household gasoline cutters. The main advantage of the unit is its low weight, amounting to 4.5 kg, which gives a great advantage during long-term operation. When working with heavier models, fatigue will manifest itself much faster than with the Makita EM 2500U brushcutter.
Comfortable operation is ensured by an adjustable bicycle handle, equipped with rubber attachments and a vibration damping pad. The petrol cutter is equipped with a 1 hp engine, which is enough to fulfill the assigned tasks. The engine of the model is characterized by quiet operation and easy starting, even in a cold state. The volume of the tank is 0.5 liters, which is quite enough for harvesting grass on an area of 2 ares.
Not only a bobbin with a fishing line is sold with a gas cutter, but also a knife for pruning hard growth, which has 4 petals.
The only drawback of this model is the inconvenient shoulder strap. After purchase, it is advisable to replace it.
Oleo-Mac Sparta 25
This model from the Italian brand is equipped with a 1.1 hp gasoline engine. One refueling of the 0.75 liter tank is enough for 1.5 hours of continuous operation, which is a fairly high indicator. The manufacturer recommends filling the device with a mixture of A-95 gasoline and Oleo-Mac branded oil. A measuring cup is included for accurate proportioning.
The weight of the petrol cutter is 6.2 kg, the adjustable handle and the shoulder strap create the most comfortable conditions when working on weight, and the high performance of the model allows you to do a fairly large amount of work in a short period of time.
The good performance of the Oleo-Mac Sparta 25 is achieved through a high-quality build and a high-quality engine that does not lose efficiency at low rpm. The benzokosa is equipped with a 3-blade knife and a semi-automatic head with a 40 cm grip.
The disadvantage is the high cost of the model, inherent in all quality products.
Hitachi CG22EAS
Another petrol cutter of Japanese manufacturers, where the main attention is paid to the quality of the product. The 0.85 liter engine provides high blade speed, making it easy to mow even thick-stemmed dried grass. At the same time, the manufacturers managed to maintain a low weight of the brushcutter, which is only 4.7 kg, which allows the device to work for a long time.
Efficiency is a weighty argument when choosing a petrol cutter model. An innovation is the development of NEW Pure Fire, which has reduced gasoline consumption by up to 30% and reduced emissions by half, compared to similar models.
The Japanese took care of safe work and added safety glasses to the package. In addition, the Hitachi CG22EAS gas cutter is equipped with a 4-blade knife and a mowing head.
Disadvantages:
- no mixing container included;
- only high-quality expensive oil is used.
Petrol cutter PATRIOT PT 3355

Champion T346
The Champion T346 gas cutter will serve as a reliable assistant in the fight against overgrown weeds... The working elements of the model are a 1.6-3 mm fishing line and a cutting disc with a cutting width of 25 cm, which is quite enough for cutting grass and rough bushes.
The brushcutter weighs 7 kg, but the ergonomic handle and suspension strap make long-term work as comfortable as possible. Thanks to the shock absorption system on the shaft and the handle, vibration is hardly felt. The boom has a straight shape and a split design, so that the brushcutter takes up little space during storage or transportation. Quality forged shafts ensure reliable model performance.
