Brush cutter accessories

The blades, line, fuel and gear that keep your machine cutting well. Here's what we recommend, and how to choose.

In short:We cover 92 brush cutter accessories in six groups: blades, trimmer line, cutting heads, harnesses, two-stroke oil and fuel, and safety gear. Before buying a blade or head, check your machine's arbor thread or bore (often M10 left-hand or 25.4 mm), the maximum blade diameter and the guard its manual specifies. Use the line thickness your head is designed for, mix two-stroke fuel at the ratio in your manual, and wear eye, ear, hand and leg protection.

Compatibility first

Most accessory problems are fit problems. A blade must match your machine's bore and maximum diameter, and must be used with the guard the manual specifies — many trimmers sold with line only are not designed for a metal blade at all. A replacement head must match the arbor thread, usually M10 × 1.25 left-hand on petrol brush cutters, and the line diameter must suit the head. When in doubt, check the manual or ask the machine's dealer. Our line vs blade guide explains when each makes sense, and how to change the line walks through reloading a head.
