Aspen 4 alkylate 4-stroke petrol 4 X 5 Litre

Product Information

There is some weight to the Stihl, but it isn’t what I would consider heavy for this kind of product, and I take a little bit of weight as a good sign of solidness and quality. When in the harness, you hardly notice the weight anyway, and the tool always feels well-balanced and easy to manoeuvre. The handle position is also adjustable, so users of different heights can find the position that is most suitable, and the engine also starts relatively easily which will reduce fatigue from pulling the engine cord. However, if you’re using your strimmer professionally or will be working on lots of heavy-duty tasks, I recommend a strimmer with a 52 cc engine. This Makita petrol strimmer is controlled by large cow horn style handlebars that have soft rubberised grips for comfort when using it for longer periods. It is fairly lightweight considering it’s a 4 stroke, tipping the scale at around 10kg when fitted with the brush cutter blade, harness and a full tank of petrol. The not so great things that you have to put up with when using a petrol strimmer are extra maintenance and running costs. You will need to make sure you have a can of petrol on hand and you will also need oil to keep the motor lubricated and to change spark plugs and such from time to time.

Remember, cc measures the capacity or displacement of the engine, and not its power output. It’s the amount of fuel and air that can be pushed through the engine cylinder(s). Petrol hedge trimmers are more powerful than electric or corded models enabling you to achieve a faster work rate.If you need to store gasoline for an extended period of time, you can use a fuel stabiliser, which is a type of fuel treatment product. Essentially, you treat the fuel with a stabiliser prior to storing it. The fuel stabiliser then helps to prevent gum or varnish buildup, and prevents these deposits from entering the fuel system and carburettor. This helps to prevent engine damages and makes the mower much easier to start.

On an aesthetic note, the finishes, such as the buttons, components and strimmer head, may be a bit crude in comparison to more premium models, but the general consensus seems to be that this doesn’t affect the running of the strimmer itself and it still offers good value. Supercharging increases the power output limits of an internal combustion engine relative to its displacement. Most commonly, the supercharger is always running, but there have been designs that allow it to be cut out or run at varying speeds (relative to engine speed). Mechanically driven supercharging has the disadvantage that some of the output power is used to drive the supercharger, while power is wasted in the high pressure exhaust, as the air has been compressed twice and then gains more potential volume in the combustion but it is only expanded in one stage.
