Big power, small price

Budget petrol brush cutters deliver real thermal power with a blade, head and harness included for far less than premium brands. You give up some finish and dealer support, but for tough grass and brambles, the value is outstanding.

Our picks

The 52 cc Fuxtec FX-MS152 and Einhell GC-BC 52 lead on power-per-euro. The Stiga BC 535 B adds brand backing, while the Einhell GC-BC 25/1 and light Fuxtec FX-MS125 are the cheapest ways into petrol.

Get the best from it

Use fresh fuel, and budget a little for a better harness. See our petrol guide.

Frequently asked questions

Are budget petrol brush cutters any good?

The best ones give you genuine clearing power with a blade and harness included, for a quarter of the price of premium models. You trade some refinement, resale value and dealer support — but for occasional-to-regular use, the value is excellent.

What should I check on a cheap petrol machine?

Use fresh fuel to avoid starting problems, and consider upgrading the basic stock harness. Check that a metal blade is included if you'll cut brambles.
