Engine
Both are 52 cc-class two-strokes that need mixed fuel. Fuxtec quotes up to 3 hp, IKRA 1.5 kW — a difference partly down to how each maker rates output. IKRA adds electronic ignition, a primer and a large 1.3 L tank for long sessions.
Attachments and reach
IKRA documents its attachments in detail: a 42 cm auto-feed line head, a 3-tooth blade, a 395 mm hedge trimmer that angles to 170° and a pole pruner with a 255 mm Oregon bar and automatic chain oiling, plus a 76 cm extension for a working height up to 4 m. Fuxtec covers the same four jobs and adds a harness.
Handling
Both are heavy with the long attachments fitted, and overhead work tires the arms quickly. Both split at a coupling, so swapping tools takes minutes rather than seconds.
Choose the IKRA IBKH 52 if…
- You want the extension for tall hedges and high branches
- A wide 42 cm line cut matters for grass work
Choose the Fuxtec FX-MT152 if…
- You want the higher quoted power
- A harness in the box matters
Which should you buy?
Both save the cost and storage of four machines. For reach and documented detail, the IKRA; for quoted power and a harness, the Fuxtec. Brand comparison: IKRA vs Fuxtec.

Strengths and drawbacks
IKRA IBKH 52-1
- + One 51.7 cc engine covers brush cutting, hedge trimming and pole pruning, so you're not buying three separate tools
- + Petrol power means no cable and no battery to run flat mid-job
- + Extension shaft attachment reaches higher hedges and branches without a ladder
- + Genuinely useful for mixed gardens or smallholdings with varied jobs rather than just lawn edges
- + Keen price for a 4-in-1 petrol set compared with buying dedicated machines
- − Swapping attachments takes a few minutes each time, so it's slower than grabbing a dedicated tool
- − Each attachment is a compromise rather than best-in-class at its single job
- − Combined weight of powerhead plus attachment is noticeably heavier than a dedicated hedge trimmer or pruner
- − 2-stroke engine needs fuel mixing and the usual petrol maintenance
Fuxtec FX-MT152
- + Four powerful tools in one engine
- + One engine to maintain instead of four
- + 52 cc handles brush and branches
- − Tiring overhead with the long attachments
- − 2-stroke mixing and more maintenance
- − Jack-of-all-trades vs dedicated tools
Frequently asked questions
Which is more powerful?
On paper, the Fuxtec: up to 3 hp (about 2.2 kW) against 1.5 kW for the IKRA, from almost the same displacement. Makers measure differently; both have plenty for brush cutting and pruning.
Which reaches higher?
The IKRA lists a 76 cm extension, a total length of up to 2.85 m and a working height of up to 4 m. The Fuxtec listing we checked didn't give reach figures.
Which comes with a harness?
The Fuxtec FX-MT152 includes a harness; the IKRA comes with a shoulder strap. For long brush-cutting sessions with either 52 cc machine, a full harness helps — see the best brush cutter harnesses.
