Petrol Field & Brush Lawnmowers

The Efco DR51-S6 is a powerful and robustly constructed machine that’s been designed for the large-scale clearance of brush, bramble and other types of invasive vegetation. It’s driven by a 189cc Subaru EA190V engine, which delivers power quietly, smoothly and efficiently; and it’s equipped with a self-propelled drive, which makes it easy to work on rough or sloping terrain. Extra-large diameter drive-wheels provide the traction required to work effectively if the ground’s wet; while a front castor-wheel serves to maximise manoeuvrability when negotiating dense vegetation. This model has a large-sized 51cm working-width.

This robust, high-performance wheeled brushcutter from Italy-based manufacturers Efco has been developed for the fast and efficient clearance of thick, well established undergrowth over large areas (up to 2000m2). It has a variable-speed drive, so the forward-speed can be adjusted to suit the type of vegetation you’re tackling; and it has a front-mounted castor-wheel which gives a tight turning-circle, in turn maximising manoeuvrability when operating in dense brush and bramble. The Efco DR51-VB6 is powered by an exceptionally reliable and hugely powerful 190cc Briggs & Stratton OHV engine. It has a pair of large-diameter drive wheels, which guarantee smooth progress over rough ground; and it features an adjustable cutting-height, which is easy to set using a handily positioned lever.

Adjustable handlebars work to enhance comfort for users of any stature; while a stamped-steel deck brings rock-solid durability.
