Spectrum DM26L Petrol Brushcutter and Strimmer
Enjoy superior cutting performance and get comfortable, low-effort handling at a remarkably low price with this high-quality but affordable petrol brushcutter from Spectrum!
This product is complete with a 2 line heavy duty strimmer head for use along border edges or larger areas of grass and weed growth and also a metal blade for heavier brush work such as brambles. The machine is equally as good as an edging trimmer or for clearing larger areas of over growth. There is a harness to make it easier to use and handle
The Spectrum DM26L comes with two cutter heads – there’s a twin-line spool designed for tidying lawn edges, fence lines and tree bases; and a three-tooth metal blade, which will scythe through nettles, bramble and other more challenging vegetation with consummate ease.
Driving your chosen head is a medium-displacement, 25.4cc, two-stroke air-cooled motor that outputs a hefty 1.1hp, and which has been equipped with a translucent fuel tank for at-a-glance monitoring of the fill level. The tank holds a substantial, 0.65 litres, so you’ll be able to spend more time working and less time topping-up (click here for two-stroke oil).
Excelling when it comes to ease of use, the Spectrum DM26L weighs just 5.1kg, and boasts and ergonomic ‘loop-and-bar’ handle configuration.
The line head on the Spectrum DM26L Petrol Brushcutter incorporates a handy bump-feed mechanism, which means you won’t have to waste time attending directly to the spool when you need to refresh worn-out cord.
All Spectrum DM 2 stroke products are designed to be very easy to start and lightweight for ease of use.
When buying this machine it is also a good idea to get some spare trimmer line, 2 stroke mixing oil and a fuel can. We always recommend the use of eye protection such as goggles when using this type of machinery
