I need recommendations for a decent quality brushcutter that doesn't cost a arm and a leg.
 
Petrol, electric, battery, or hand-operated?
How big area do you want to do?
 
In the wrong hands, a brushcutter could cost you an arm, and your leg!
 
I used to buy those Electric jobbies.
They'd last a year or so.
Saw 6 hanging on the wall in a client's garaged.
Asked why.
He said they last 6 months, can't be fixed. He is determined to find a fix.
When my 2nd electric one packed up, I spent 3x more and bought a Ryobi 39cc petrol.
Lasted about 6 or 7 years.

Replaced it with another Ryobi, it's been going for 5 years so far.

Buy Petrol.

Stihl if you can, otherwise Ryobi is fine....

I was going to buy this Brushcutter until i read the reviews and the decided otherwise.Does anyone have experience with this Brushcutter.
 
pay someone ,best advice ,sit back and enjoy free time and a beer
 
I see the price difference between Ryobi and Stihl is not that great.
So just go Stihl....
 
I actually bought an adendorff 68cc brush cutter.

Noisy as they come but perfect for my application.

Would not recommend as a yard machine due to noise level but if you are doing some serious bundu bashing it is the way to go.

I could cut telephone poles down with this thing if I wanted to.

Do you perhaps know if their is spare parts available for them.

Because ideally I would like a brushcutter that's repairable

I've got this one. Had it for about 4 or 5 years. I abuse it terribly, it doesn't care just keeps going. I'm not sure if spare parts are readily available as I've never needed them

Adendorff's tools are in a different league to the usual Builders' hobbyist rubbish, they are industrial-strength, have no fiddly bits, and most of the time they are cheaper. The Honda motors are great as long as they are assembled in Japan.
