Beautiful, well-groomed lawns have become a familiar part of a suburban area or cottage. Evenly trimmed grass surrounds flower beds and trees, park benches and fountains - it’s hard to imagine modern landscape design without a lawn. But the grass does not grow perfectly evenly; the surface requires regular care, or rather, cutting.
Trimmers and brush cutters are designed for cutting lawns. If a scythe is a more powerful and complex tool designed for cutting weed and shrubs, then a trimmer can only trim soft lawn grass.
Read about the features of this instrument, the Swedish Husqvarna model and the types of attachments for it.
Why are they special?
Husqvarna is convenient to work with - the design of this tool is so well thought out that the process of mowing the lawn is simply a pleasure.
In Sweden, the Husqvarna company has been known for more than a hundred years; one of its activities is the production of brush cutters and trimmers.
Swedish-made tools are considered one of the most reliable - there is practically nothing to break in the trimmer. Therefore, devices very rarely end up in repair shops; if something malfunctions, it is most likely one of the consumable parts (spark plug, fishing line, knife, fuel filter).
It is quite possible to replace the consumables on your own; the cost of the parts is quite affordable.
Husqvarna trimmers are divided into several categories. Firstly, these can be household or professional appliances. For working on a small country plot or country yard, it is quite enough household tools – they are characterized by lower power and, accordingly, are cheaper. Secondly, for large-scale work - mowing large lawns - it is better to purchase a more expensive, but very powerful professional trimmer.
Classification of Husqvarna trimmers
Like all manufacturers, the company produces its tools with different types of engines. Its performance, cost and appearance largely depend on the drive of the tool.
So, they distinguish:
Electrical devices
They work from the network. Such devices have many advantages, including: quiet motor operation, absence of exhaust gases, light weight, sufficient performance. The only drawback of electric trimmers is the power cord. A live cable becomes a dangerous companion for the tool - any careless movement can lead to damage to the wire. Another nuance is the dependence on the power source. The trimmer will not be able to work remotely from home.
Trimmer with battery
These tools are more maneuverable - they are not tied to outlets or electrical carriers. The cost of a battery-powered device is significantly higher than that of a conventional electric device. But the Husqvarna company produces good lithium-ion batteries; the charge of a pair of such batteries is enough for a whole day of continuous operation with a trimmer. To recharge the battery, you need a special charger and at least 35 minutes of time.
Petrol trimmer
It is considered a more professional instrument. The power of a device with an internal combustion engine often exceeds 1 kW; a longer and thicker fishing line is installed on it, which allows you to cut coarse grass, weeds and even bushes and tree branches up to 15 mm thick. The disadvantages of tools with a gasoline engine include the need for regular fuel refueling (every 45 minutes of continuous operation), high noise levels, heavy weight, and the presence of exhaust gases.
Husqvarna trimmer models
Taking into account the different needs of customers, the company produces several models of trimmers. The very first and most famous of them is
Husqvarna 128R
This model comes with several types of fishing line, the thickest of which is two-millimeter. A trimmer is considered a household tool; its power is enough to trim the lawn, remove weeds from the area and trim small bushes.
