Fuxtec FX-MS125 — frequently asked questions
Is the Fuxtec FX-MS125 good for brambles?
It handles grass and light growth with the blade fitted, but at 25.4 cc and 1 hp it's modest for thick brambles. For those, a 42–52 cc machine such as the FX-MS152 has far more reserve.
What's included?
A nylon line head (30.5 cm cut), a metal blade and a shoulder harness — a complete starter kit. You'll need two-stroke oil and petrol to mix.
