Fuxtec brush cutters
Big petrol power on a budget
Fuxtec sells big petrol brush cutters and multi-tools at low prices. We review four, from the 25.4 cc FX-MS125 to the 52 cc FX-MS152 and FX-MT152.
In short:Fuxtec is a German value brand of petrol garden machines. We review four: the light 25.4 cc FX-MS125 (0.74 kW, 5.5 kg, line and blade, £81.49 on Amazon.co.uk on 27 October 2026); the 42.5 cc four-stroke FX-4MS142 (1.25 kW, unmixed petrol, £139); the 52 cc FX-MS152 (2.95 hp, line and metal blade, £109), our best budget petrol pick; and the 52 cc FX-MT152 multitool with brush cutter, trimmer, hedge trimmer and pole pruner (£161).
Fuxtec is a German brand that sells petrol garden machines, mostly online, at prices well below the dealer brands. Its pitch is engine size per pound: 52 cc machines for little more than many 25 cc ones.
The Fuxtec machines we review
The FX-MS125 is the entry model: a 25.4 cc two-stroke rated at 0.74 kW (1 hp), 5.5 kg per Fuxtec, with a bike handle, a line head (30.5 cm), a metal blade and a shoulder harness. It cost £81.49 on Amazon.co.uk on 27 October 2026.
The FX-4MS142 has a 42.5 cc four-stroke engine rated at 1.25 kW (1.7 hp), so it runs on unmixed petrol with separate engine oil. It comes with an automatic-feed line head (32 cm) and a padded strap (£139).
The FX-MS152 is the one most buyers look at: a 52 cc two-stroke rated at 2.95 hp, with a twin handle, a tap-and-go line head (32 cm), a metal brush blade and a padded strap, for £109. It is our best budget petrol pick.
The FX-MT152 uses the same 52 cc class of engine to drive four attachments — brush cutter, trimmer, hedge trimmer and pole pruner — with a harness (£161).
What Fuxtec does well
Big engines and complete kits for the money. For an overgrown plot that needs a blade and real torque, the FX-MS152 does the job for about a third of the price of a dealer-brand machine.
Things to weigh
A 52 cc machine is heavy and loud, and needs a proper harness for long sessions. Support is mostly online rather than through local dealers, so check the warranty terms and parts availability before buying.
Who should buy Fuxtec
Owners of large, rough or neglected plots on a budget. For a small, tidy garden, a lighter cordless trimmer is easier to live with. See the best Fuxtec brush cutters, or compare in Fuxtec vs Einhell and our petrol brush cutter guide.
