Top Italian brush cutters to deal with edges and longer grass

The rougher grassy areas like garden paths and small orchards need keeping under control just as much as lawn edges as Spring gets ever closer and a sturdy brush cutter is now considered a modern-day essential.
One manufacturer which makes an excellent range of these machines is Oleo-Mac, a long-established Italian manufacturer with whom we have an exclusive agreement to distribute products in the UK enabling us to offer top garden machinery at very keen prices.
They all have a three year guarantee, quite unusual when it comes to brush cutters.

Their range starts with the Sparta 250 TR, a low emission curved shaft petrol grass trimmer which is very light and easy to use.
It has a single nylon strimming line and as it has a curved shaft it can be angled to tackle edges and difficult corners.
A clutch is incorporated so that it the strimming head will only engage when you want it to.
The machine has a string of optional extras and special offers on spare strimming line as well.
This model costs £99.95 and that includes the guarantee and free next working day delivery to the UK mainland.

The Sparta 250 S low emission straight shaft petrol brush cutter is easy to start and also comes with a three bladed metal cutter which will deal with thicker, heavier vegetation like brambles.
The machine is well engineered to include a forged steel shaft and connecting rod to keep vibrations low.
Again there are a wide range of extras but one which is of particular interest is an articulating hedge trimmer which is easy to fit and will help you deal with the tops of garden hedges without recourse to a ladder.
This model is £179.95– you would normally expect to pay over £240. Free next working day delivery is included.
The 250 T low emission straight shaft petrol brush cutter is a similarly well-engineered machine but has the benefit of a handlebar grip which when used with the padded shoulder harness makes it easier to use over longer periods and easier to regulate with the controls on the handlebars.
Free next day delivery and the three year guarantee are included with this machine which costs £199.95, a massive saving of £70 on the RRP.

And for a really heavy duty machine made to tackle really thick undergrowth you should look at the Sparta 380 T Heavy Duty Low Emission Brushcutter.
Perfect for use in orchards and paddocks it is designed for controlling heavy scrub, long grass and brambles.
It has a 36.2 cc two stroke engine which has very low emissions
Handlebars and a padded harness mean it is easy to use over longer periods.
It costs £299.95, a really keen price on such a sturdy high-end machine plus free next working day delivery and the three year manufacturer’s guarantee.
