- Is the Badger WBP52BCI a trimmer or a brush cutter?
- It is set up as a brush cutter, meant for thick weeds, brush and small saplings. It is heavier and more powerful than a string trimmer, so it is not the best pick for fine lawn edging.
- Does it come with a harness?
- Yes. A shoulder harness and an anti-vibration handle are part of the package, and both help with the 19 lb weight on long clearing jobs.
- What fuel does it use?
- It is a gas two-stroke engine, so it runs on a gasoline and two-stroke oil mix. The tank holds 0.3 gal, so you will refuel on bigger jobs.
- How long is the shaft?
- The shaft is 60 inches. That gives good reach for fence lines and ditches and keeps the cutting head further from your feet.
- Is it too heavy for one person to use?
- At 19 lb it is heavy for a brush cutter, but the harness and anti-vibration handle are there to make it manageable. Plan on using the harness for anything longer than a quick cleanup.
- Does it need much maintenance?
- Yes. Two-stroke gas tools need fresh mixed fuel, air filter cleaning, spark plug checks and proper off-season storage. That is the trade-off for running without a battery.
