Bigger Boyz Toyz 52cc Brush Cutter

First Time User – WEB 130296 - brush cutter/snipper I bought this online. I read the instructions!!! I built it and it was easily built fitting the whipper snipper head and cable. Mixed the fuel (2 stroke) 25:1. Primed the little bulb. Switched to on. Turned on choke. 2 pulls on the cord! Turned off the choke and pulled the cord and it started idling! As a new… Read more ·  1

user this machine had more power than I ever needed. This machine mulched, chopped, chewed, snipped, ripped and ate its way through the weeds all on one snipper cable!! I was really impressed with the toothed cable that came with the brush cutter.

I love how almost everything is metal. Surely this has to be more durable and hard working than plastic! Easy to maintain being metal heads and blades! The plastic components on this machine are the guard at the ground offering flexibility. And a plastic shield at the air filter where my arm rests against the top.

Fast delivery: 3 days Loudness: 114Db I didn't find it very loud I mean you're outside. Weight: Feels like a 3litre bottle of milk. Starting: Simple and easy. Area I snipped: 110m sq. This machine well met my requirements. Line System: Nice easy refill system. Poke it in pull it out! Fast and efficient.

Love it! What a great machine. Thank you BBT!

Runs well but too heavy – Pros: the unit works fine till now (over 1 month), great support services, many head attachments to select Cons: 1. Very heavy (over 9kg) 2. The fuel mix bottle is too small. I have to make twice to full fill it. If you have a small garden, one bottle may be enough. I have a very large one and it takes 4-6 bottles each time so it is not very… Read more ·  1

inconvenient for me. 3. The handle is very hard, not soft which makes my hands hurt when holding it long. 4. The pull start is not easy to use. 5. The shoulder strap is not good. The cutter need to be kept at high position to cut grass low but then the strap is too small to put over the shoulder

Overall: it is not suitable for weak or old people.

P/S: I left a negative feedback before but the last use has changed my mind. The unit works really well. When I first used it, I felt it drank fuel much because I was not used to it and always kept the throttle at the maximum level. The fuel consumption has been improved after a few use.

Poorly constructed and cheap – Bought this in June this year and have not been impressed at all. Firstly the soldered end piece on the throttle cable disintegrated when putting unit together. Called up and credit to company, a new throttle handle/cable was sent out straight away. After using twice and then stored away, found fuel somehow has leaked out from top of fuel tank.… Read more

What fuel was left in it. Bone dry now. Apparently grommet at top of fuel tank needs to be replaced. Had to tighten majority of nuts and bolts up. And brush guard always coming loose.

Also found that the engine fixed to the shaft, has a lot of movement that is very concerning. Really don’t feel safe using.

Contacted company and apart from offering to replace the fuel tank and grommet, they’re really not much help in resolving the issue. Asked for refund as I’m seriously not happy with the poor construction, poor workmanship, and poor quality, and they just palmed me off and said the movement in unit is normal.

Really think twice about purchasing this unit. Go for a reputable brand. I will be purchasing a new unit and not using this one again.

Not well made – This brush cutter didn't last long. The pull start broke after about 15 uses. Pulled it apart and the cheap junk metal was broken into many pieces. I was hoping it would last longer but they are not well made. They were other issues to. Had to replace fuel lines the clutch failed.  Show details

Good for short bursts of heavy cutting – It cuts well due to the high torque engine and the after-market cutting head that I added. Overall quality is typical Chinese, the power head seems better than the rest, the throttle is a bit small and awkward. It can kick a bit when starting so you need to hold it down firmly. Fuel consumption is quite high and the large tank holds about a litre which is good for 20 minutes.  Show details

Power to burn – Owned for 6 months - have used the nylon and 3 blade head I am a 6.5 acre property with lots of grass. Pros powerful,easy to start, reliable Cons Drinks fuel, heavy (requires an investment in a harness +$50 - 60 depending on preference). Nylon replacement is expensive - I found heavy duty nylon from the mower shop could be re tasked for the job.

Good unit for larger block – Just bought the 52cc Yukon last week and so far so good. Way behind in the whipper snipping for about a year so thought "ooh yeah get the BIG motor." about 2 minutes after first using it I went "Ohh my back. it's heavier." But that was no problem once I set the handlebar positions up to suit me, adjusted the harness and repositioned the harness… Read more

clip on the bar.

You need the head to be floating in the position and at a slight angle that you'll be cutting, with your body in the most neutral position, when it's on you. No good if you have to push it down and reach forward just to get it to the grass. you're working before getting any work done like that. And if you're a bit old like me you're back will give up before you get started.

As for starting it, I have no problems. Although there are no "running in" recommendations. I assumed I should a bit and mixed 500ml of extra rich fuel, about 10:1, primed it, started 3rd pull, let it idle a few minutes with the odd rev up. Then stop and let cool down a bit. Start again, idle a bit and start cutting.

Then you'll know how ya need to set it up as mentioned above.

Next fuel' the recommended 20:1. And starting Ok. I'm not a BIG guy but not a GIRLY man so give it a solid pull,(quick) with your foot holding it firmly down, and no problem.

Someone mentioned it should have a throttle lock (cruise control) well it does, mine does anyway but I only use it to start it, I prefer to control the throttle as I go. But maybe that's because I'm an old rev head. Ha-ha

Anyway I wouldn't get one like this for a small block, but don't regret getting it for mine. A bit over an acre. .

Good – Ok, I just got it in the mail and assembled it,The Guard was the hardest thing to assemble the rest was quite simple. Putting it together the wiring i felt was to long and the throttle cable to short.I was not to sure about the 2 piece handle bars at first either.The Motor is large and heavy 52cc, The nylon head is impressive.

finishing the assembly and preping it with fuel,by the way it has a very large fuel tank,Came time to start it. I primed it 10-15 times,Then the torcher began! I`m a big bloke and quite strong but i kid you not, when you hold it down and try pulling that cord expect to go through some pain. Not for the little lady that's for sure.

Finally it starts, leaving it on the ground while i fetched the harness i bought(Full body with the side clip a must have for this unit) it was moving around on the ground a fair bit.Locking it onto the harness ready for action i gave it full throttle it really didn't seem to rev that hard nor was it really loud(No ear piercing sound more a grunt).

Around the small stuff it seemed to have to much power by that i mean when you crank up the throttle the wind from the head pushes the grass down before you get to cut it.

In the big stuff it was unstoppable although after some time holding the throttle my finger was aching. It is a good unit on a harness to use.

Overall,It is a heavy duty machine meant for the big stuff and really meant for the blade attachment.If you want something just to use around the house stick with the 25-35cc units.

The strap supplied is laughable, full harness for proper operation required.

Needs a throttle lock( cruise control) so you can use it for more than 30 mins or wear gloves.

Uses alot of fuel.

You need to be able to stand on it in order to get a good pull to start it.

As i have only used it once i`ll come back and review it again later,This is just a heads up on what to expect.

If the unit becomes easier to start then i give it 8/10 so for now 7/10. Powerful 52cc is not a toy Hard to Start ,Uses alot of fuel, Strap supplied useless
