Description
Two-stroke brush trimmers vibrate hands numb and choke operators with exhaust smoke when clearing steep retention ponds on hot summer days. The Stihl 18 In. Cutting Width 36V Cordless Bike-Handle Trimmer provides high-torque brush clearing with zero exhaust emissions and low vibration. It swings an 18-inch cutting head. Slicing thick pasture weeds drains battery reserves fast.
A commercial brushless motor mounts inside a die-cast aluminum housing at the rear of the shaft to balance tool weight. The bicycle-style handlebar frame features rubber vibration-isolation mounts that decouple high-frequency motor harmonics from operator hands. The drive line houses a solid steel splined shaft supported by greaseable bronze bushings inside a rigid aluminum drive tube.
