The garden is a wonderful resting place for the whole family. But to keep it in order, it is necessary to work hard, because every bush and tree require attention. To help gardeners comes a variety of garden equipment and tools. In this article, we'll talk about the cuttings. We will tell you what kinds of species exist, what they are intended for, and how to choose the fin-cutter.
Brushcutter: manual, electric, petrol
There are several types of loppers:
- high-altitude cutters (telescopic, rod-type). They are also called jeeps. In fact, they are ordinary garden shears with very long folding handles. These handles allow you to reach a height of several meters. In addition, elongated handles create a mechanical knee-lever, which allows you to reduce the load on the hands (make less effort with a larger result);
- Cutters for trimming low branches (hand-held secateurs with short handles).
Both types include subspecies, divided by design (with one or two cutting surfaces), and by type of supply (mechanical, electrical, petrol).
Petrol cutters, as is clear from the name, work on liquid fuels - gasoline. To ensure their operation, the constant reach of the power supply (mains) is not required, so they can be operated in the most remote corners of the garden. In addition, at the moment it is the petrol cutters that are the most powerful of all. Similarly, independent of the presence of sockets and rechargeable electric cutters, but their power is noticeably inferior to gasoline and even ordinary electric. They are designed for short-term work.
How to choose a brasscutter?
To properly choose the right type and model, analyze the types of work that you most often do in the garden. Assess which trees and shrubs are growing in you, how many are now and how many more are you planning to plant in the near future.
- If your site has a lot of tall shrubs and trees, you will definitely need a delimbing machine with telescopic handles. Such models allow you to adjust the length of the handles to the required ones, and thus easily reach the tallest branches.
- The electric battery brass is like those who have a large garden, and there is no desire (or possibility) to tinker with wires and extension cords. If your garden is small and there are rosettes within reach, feel free to purchase an electric chain saw that operates from the network - these models are reliable, durable and considerably facilitate the laborious process of pruning branches.
- Separately it is necessary to note сучурезы with ratchet mechanism. With the help of this mechanism, it becomes possible to cut thick and dry branches more qualitatively, with a clean cut, and even with minimal effort. How is this possible? Squeezing the handle of the bruschette, you force the blade to move in the thickness of the wood, cutting the branch. But there comes a time when your effort is not enough, the blade stops, and the branch remains cut only partially. At this point, the ratchet mechanism is triggered. It allows you to release the handle of the instrument (the blades remain still) and press them again, continuing to cut the branch from the moment it stops. Thus,
Thus, the effort you make to cut the branch is divided into several approaches.
And more: when choosing a brunch, be sure to hold it in your hands. Is it convenient for you? Is he too heavy? Do not forget that you will have to keep it on its weight all the time, and you should be able to work with it for at least 30-40 minutes without interruption.
As you can see, it is not so easy to choose the ideal cutter - each of its varieties is designed for certain types of trimming . That is why it is best to have a few secateurs-cutters in stock - then certainly any trim will be on your shoulder.
