Exploiting much of the technology employed by Oleo-Mac’s commercial-duty brushcutters, the Oleo-Mac BC270S offers a desirable blend of rugged build-quality, superior handling and aggressive cutting-capability.

Providing the ample power is a 27cc (1.3hp) Emak air-cooled two-stroke engine that’s characterised by its generous torque-output; and which boasts an array of durability-maximising features, including a nickel-plated die-cast cylinder; a two-ring piston; and a forged connecting-rod and crankshaft.

A premium Walbro electronically-controlled digital-coil (with rev-limiter) makes starting easy and provides uniform combustion for improved fuel-economy; while Oleo-Mac’s convenient Always-On system ensures the ‘on/-off’ switch always resets to ‘on’ after each stop.

Other key engine-features include large-sized paper air-filter, which provides optimum protection against the ingress of damaging, service-life-limiting microparticulates; and an aluminium cover and clutch-housing that reduces machine-weight without compromising on robustness.

The Oleo-Mac BC270S Heavy-Duty Petrol Brushcutter has been fitted with a compact ‘loop’ handle that confers low-effort manoeuvrability and makes it possible to operate in areas where space is tight (a rubber cladding ensures a firm, positive grip at all times).

Just as at home taking down nettles and bramble as it is putting the finishing touches to lawn-edges, this model is supplied as standard with a 25.5cm three-tooth metal brush-blade and a 13cm twin-line strimmer head.

Single shoulder harness included.
