Wild Badger Power 18 in. 52cc 2-in-1 Straight Shaft Gas String Trimmer and Brush Cutter Blade, 2-Cycle

Great service at Taft and Weedeater is powerful

This powerhouse for $160? And 2 cycle? Better grab one if you’re in California fast. Ships from Chino, Ca. All you’ll find at Gone Depot are ej Chris units with $120 batteries.

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.

Powerful and gets done what is needed

Powerful trimmer, a little heavy but works well with body harness.

Only worked once

Works well, line breaks prematurely sometimes

Runs really good lots of power but too heavy

I was kinda skeptical about buying the wild badger but after unboxing and assembling it easily I began to have second thoughts, once I adjusted harness I filled it with fuel and followed instructions for starting. it started on 5th pull. I haven't had any problems so far and it has cranked everytime on the 5th or 6th pull. The wild badger works great and cuts even heavy grass with ease. Attach the heavy grass blade and it becomes a monster in heavy grass and small samplings less than 1in. easily. I also have a 9in.saw blade for heavier underbrush it takes it down with ease. I am now more than impressed. The fuel tank is large enough that I don't have to worry about refueling. I have run it for a couple of hours at a time and it was only around half or more full of fuel. just what I needed don't have to stop and fuel just when I get going good. I think what really makes the difference is the power it has compared to my troybilt 30cc 4 stroke and 25cc 2stroke both professional grade. This badger was well worth the price so I hope it lasts as long as my troybilts which are both 10+ years old. will definitely buy another next time I need one.

Well built, easy to assemble, fast starting, great for tough jobs. It is heavy so if you only need a small weed eater for the lawn this might not be for you, but if you’re going to be doing a lot cutting and brush removal this is the one to get.

EXCELLENT AND POWERFUL

Easy to assemble, And I love how it is so balanced On the harness. The only, Thing Which is difficult to make out is how to Put new string in. They Only give tiny little pictures, you can't make out even with a magnifying glass. So far I haven't used what's in there up, To get it figured out.

It is a great weed eater love the power

I buy a 52cc and you send me a 31cc. I returned it. Plus you can't get parts for the one I have that's not running. My advice, don't buy one.

Was a great product works great easy to start and use its a lottle heavy but its also a big machine.

Easy to put together, started right up and has plenty power. A little heavy and the blade guard is flimsy, but for the price I couldn't be happier. Put a stihl blade on it and was cutting trees up to 3 inches with no problem, just ordered an OREGON two tooth mulching blade and can't wait to try it out. Highly recommend, cuts better than the stihl I had before for a third of the price.

Great Unit, plenty of power. A little confusing at first on the assemble betweeen the weed eater and the Brush trimmer but once figured out it works like a charm.

Works well and is up for about any weed slicing task. The unit is a little heavier than expected, but the harness removes that thought. I've used it continuously for about 45 to 60 minutes at a time and it remains balanced and ready for anything. Removal and replacement of cutter line is actually pretty easy once you know the procedure. Drawback I noticed is occasionally when using if you tip it to the left for some reason gas will drip out of the breather hole in the cap. Also, when replacing the line care must be given when putting the head back together. Still overall, I believe this was the best purchase I've made in awhile. Thank you for a trimmer that has the feeling of a bigger unit in an economic package.

Works better than my Stihl weed eaters I’ve previously had and half the price

Looks a acts like a stahl

Shoulder strap needs a new design.

It is powerful to get heavy brush clean.

This machine would not start for me no matter what I did. I would give it ZERO stars if I could

This brush cutter is awesome, good power for cutting thick brush and grass, it starts easy and runs great. And a good value.

I'm enjoying the efficiency of the equipment!

I love this brushcutter so much i bought two, its a true bushhog
