I wasn't sure if this product was going to do the job, but it work real fine.

Bought it because I read a review from this old house and I was surprised to find a 40cc trimmer at this price. Well, there's a reason it's at this price, because I threw away 250 bucks. First thing that went was pull cord start, got something broke off while using and stopped the engine, after ~2 hours of use, this is after maybe 8 TOTAL hours of use. Next thing that went was the plug cap, just popped right off... Silly me, thought I could use the assurance warranty that I paid extra for, but they told me that the original warranty was still available and to contact the company. I persistently contacted the apparently one person that handles warranties for this company and after two weeks of not hearing anything, multiple times, I got an email that the part that I needed was on back order and they expected that they would get them in by July. It's September now and I've reached out again, with the same predictable response of *cricket* and I finally caved and bought a different machine instead. Not worth the anger, irritation, or shoddy craftsmanship. You could burn your money and get more use out of it than buying this trash machine from this trash brand.

Was going to get the smaller version. So glad I didn't. It tackled all the large weeds in my pasture like cutting butter with a hot knife. Only drawback is trying to figure out the harness each time. Money well spent.

I was looking for a Brush Cutter that would cut Pipe Canes and Brush of 1"-2" in diameter that didn't cost $600. I purchased the 52cc Badger, and it was easy to assemble. I installed the Triangle Blade and while it is heavier than I thought it would be it worked PERFECT. Starts Easy, Runs Good, and cuts through the heavy Pipe Cane Brush along with the 1" to 2" Diameter brush. I had to re-adjust the carrying strap a couple of times to get it to help support the unit while I cut through the brush. Nice looking Unit and easy to adjust the balance point and carrying strap.
