Review on Trimmer gasoline STIHL FS 38, AutoCut C 5-2, 0.9 hp, 38 cm by Mateusz Walkowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like the product, it fully meets my expectations.

So, I bought a trimmer in 13-14, I don’t remember exactly, to replace a scythe with an iron sting and a wooden handle)) I’ll write right away, for the entire time of use, only gasoline, oil, and fishing line were bought. All. Never bought a candle, no filter, nothing. It wasn't even cleaned. And it still works like clockwork. Tomorrow I'm going to take it apart and have a look and clean it. Not even a drop in power. Chased in the tail and in the mane. But moderately. With breaks. For the winter she went to a warm apartment in Hong Kong. At first, I mowed a clearing behind the summer cottage. There is low grass, less than 0.5 meters high, but thick like clover. Everything is fine, except again for that nut, which does not allow cutting lower. Then he learned to mow weeds, and also bought plastic knives. They cut better, but you don’t feel the speed, sometimes you press on 3/4 of the gas. At the maximum did not work NEVER! And I don’t advise it, basically it’s always enough for 1/4 or, if you really want to, up to half. And because of the rainy start of the season, the road was launched on which I drive a car. Mowed from about 13:00 and finished about 21:00. I took breaks for about 15 minutes. It was hard when I met tall, soft and thick grass. It was often wound around the head, albeit with the double mowing technique. This is when you lead the braid to the left and cut in half, and then to the right and to the very bottom. But he screwed up. All the same, she does not have enough relics to compete with such grass. Although knives thick weeds mow with a bang. And I don’t know where you buy without a belt, I bought a calm in a company store and it was included.

Pros
  • Durability. Weight. Brand. Working capacity. Quality.
Cons
  • The main drawback (for me personally) is a large plastic nut that secures the head with fishing line to the drive. Because of this, the grass is mowed not to the very bottom, leaving a rather high part of the grass. Therefore, the head with knives is more interesting, but it is not effective to mow a regular lawn with it. You have to take a smaller scale.

I like it, light without a belt is better than heavy with a belt.
