In your opinion do you think this brush cutter has been worth the money thinking about getting one

[@MountainMindset]

If you get it cheap enough, I think so. If trimming small shrubs and saplings or cutting tall grass or undergrowth personally it’s great but if you’re gonna be using it commercially, I’d look at something a little heavier duty. I’m really glad I bought it. For what I do it’s been great but I don’t mind to fix it every now and then. Lol. Hope this helps and good luck with your purchase! Thanks for watching!

I can pick one of these up for 1900$ new locally. It is red and black. Not blue. It has all 3 hoses with the case drain. I'm wondering if they made these better over the last year. I have ALOT brush and vines to clear. Think it's worth it or spend a couple grand more on a more well known brand? Thanks.

[@MountainMindset]

That sounds like a good price. I’ve seen the red and black ones online and they look built exactly the same as mine. I can’t say if they are built any better now but I think it would serve you well if you’re cutting like me and don’t mind fixing it at times. If I had the money to spend and was doing more than just one job, id probably get something a little heavier duty. I hope his helps!

@Mountain Mindset Thanks. I will probably give it a try. I'm hoping to start making some side$ with my excavator this would add to my capabilities. If I don't like it hopefully I can sell it. Does it seem to eat thru 3 inch or 4inch stuff ok?

[@MountainMindset]

@@countryboy-pk8xmI don’t blame you. It will cut 3-4” stuff for me but I take my time with it. It’s not as fast as other cutters but I’m happy with it!

[@countryboy-pk8xm]

@@MountainMindset ok thanks for your input! I'm going to think about it for a bit.

Did you have to add gear oil to it? The label said gear oil but I only see grease fittings

[@MountainMindset]

I’ve only ever greased mine. Grease fittings is all mine has too. 🤷 Let me know if you find where I should add gear oil! 👍🏻

[@COLAGIUS]

@@MountainMindset I popped off the top and I see a grease fitting there. I asked the manufacturer but I dont know if they will respond

[@MountainMindset]

@@COLAGIUS hopefully they do! I’m curious to know as well. I’ll be cutting with mine probably next week! 😎

[@MountainMindset]
