Honda 48cc 4stroke strimmer

[scbk]

I see that Honda have brought out a new 4 stroke strimmer, with a bigger engine, and this time with an anti-vibe handle (can't see the actual vibration levels anywhere though)

Has anyone used one/got one? It would mainly be for running a mulching blade.

 

Used to have the 35cc honda and it was great for running a blade, better than 2 strokes. It didn't have the anti vibe handle though.

Looks good makita do one similar  alot cheaper though?

Wheres there weight & vibe data  and manuals for the honda?

 

 

[scbk]

Makita one is 43cc vs 48cc, with about £100 price difference, so much and such the same.

 

The Honda is 9kg

I tried phoning up Honda themselves to ask about the vibration figures, a phone number from Bulgaria called back, he's going to try and find out and maybe get back to me next week

Don't get why they reckon the  honda GX35 heavy on fuel  I thought 4 stroke were suppose to used less

Yes the GX35 I had just sipped petrol. Probably seems worse as it only has a small tank.

It's now been replaced by a husky 535 battery machine which is quite good on fuel

[scbk]

After more searching, managed to find the online manual for the Honda UMK450

 

The bottom one, XEET, is the model with the anti vibe handlebars

If its anything like the old 4stroke one we have on the estate it will be a good bit of kit ours is 20 yrs old and still going well it has a harnes that is ace for holding the weight so like I said if its as good or better than the old one we have its totaly worth getting

Got the Honda UMK 450 XE yesterday, appears to be a nice smooth strimmer. Seems ideal for running a blade.

 

The head that comes on it is a large Sugihara, which you reload with it on the machine, feed through the eyelets then wind it round, and it takes 3.3mm square line no bother.

 

It will get put to some proper work next week.
