Perfect - just what i was looking for thank you.
Thanks so much for this. A very clear step by step process. Love the brushcutter and love your review
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Keaton Aiden Instablaster ;)
@Dominik Alvin thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Dominik Alvin It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
@Keaton Aiden no problem :)
Just got the multi tool kit + mower. Well impressed!!
Nice review. Thanks for the information. i was not sure to take a 1500 or a 3800 type, but you gave me the information i needed. i take the bc3800e.
That is also me cutting trees and grass at the golf course in Carlshamn during the season. ;-)
Greetings from: SWE 🇸🇪
Great video - buying a similar model in the US. Thanks for the great description.
Great review, I currently have the EGO blower and the 18” chainsaw. I have a very old gas brush cutter and was looking at the various Ego models. This looks like the best for my work. They all take the same battery and they are all powerful.
Right on. How do you find the chainsaw? That’s the only one where I really notice the lack of power compared to petrol (gas) engine?
Excellent review
Great and helpful video - thanks. You mention that with the 5a battery you find the balance about right for you. Have you tried using it with the 2a or 2.5a battery?
Thank you for a great and informative review. Just wondering if the shaft can be adjusted for height?
Thank you, useful for French user.
Great review 👍👍
Thanks for sharing your experience. How does the Ego compete with the petrol cutter when it comes down to cut heavy bushes like brambles? Which is the nr 1 reason I am buying a brush cutter. Tips welcome.
Can you use a Stihl Kombi attachment on the EGO multi-head ?
Thanks for the very thorough review which was forwarded to me by Ego in response to my query for a video showing changing the line and also switching between line trimmer and brush cutter heads. I found their own website videos and the diagrams in the instruction manual to be inadequate. I have never owned or operated a line trimmer before so found this of immense benefit, thank you. Also, your review stacked up on the features, cost and usability. I don't mind paying more upfront for lower running costs, comfort and environmental benefit in the long term.
You're welcome Greg. I think you'll find it a worthwhile purchase
Just rewatched again as refresher as linetrimmer has been hibernating over winter. All set for summer season ahead. Thanks again.
the difference in power is large between gasoline and battery or not much due to maintaining the speed of the battery
is theior blade 26 or 20mm ID?
need a update video on this machine please
Excellent review. Really appreciated the unboxing and especially the side by side trimmer comparison starting at 11:52
It appears that the power head unit has the same size motor assembly as the brushcutter. Do they feel comparable in terms of power when using the trimmer attachment? In your shot, the brushcutter shaft appears to be slightly longer though. Could just be the angle?
Glad you found it helpful!
Ok you've asked a great question and it's made me take a real close look at what exactly the differences are.
Motor is the same - same power (2000w), dimensions & weight
Shaft length on multi tool with line trimmer attachment is 30mm longer
HOWEVER
Because of the way you hold the bike handle brushcutter/line trimmer it is much more ergonomic IMO
The D-handle Line trimmer is held with the motor under one forearm with that hand on the trigger and other arm extended. The shaft is angled fairly steeply toward the ground.
The bike handle (aka bull handle) brushcutter is held much lower, supported by the harness, with arms stretched out to hold the handlebars. Because it is sits lower on your body the angle toward the ground is much flatter. This is more comfortable, more balanced and lets the head cut at a flatter angle. It also more than makes up for the 30mm shorter shaft.
I'd actually prefer the bike handle setup, however, its not currently available to the US market. Apparently it may be coming before year end, but nothing has been announced officially. I have a bike handle that came off a Stihl brushcutter that I may attempt to retrofit onto the powerhead unit. I'd have to find a donor trigger handle (perhaps off the backpack blower or perhaps a chinese knockoff or perhaps even just try to use the existing trigger assembly from the power head.
Interestingly, at 2KW, this motor is one of the most powerful of any (including gas powered brushcutters), and currently THE most powerful cordless li-ion trimmer. Its comparable to Stihl's monster FS 430 gas brushcutter (45.6 cc, 2.2 KW). Only the Stihl FS 530 has more power and it costs $1350 US
Lawn Mowing Contractor Interesting. I owned an FS130 for a time and found it to be less powerful. I suppose my machine could have been hubbed out from use.
I agree that the KW-HP conversion doesn't hold up in practical terms. I don't know the reason why. Perhaps a better comparison is torque and rotation speed?
Great reviews on the Ego tools, do you notice less vibrations on your hands compared to a petrol unit when used for longer periods of time?
Absolutely. I get quite a few jobs that involve a couple of hours of continuous use and that vibration is very noticeable when you’re using petrol tools for that long. The battery powered tool is much better for vibration.
Yes I definitely notice a significant difference
Vibration noticably lower with pretty much all the Ego tools especially this line trimmer
using trailblazer, good stuff
wish this were available in the USA
Should i buy this or backpack?
Where can i buy one?
I wonder why we don't have the brush cutter in the US? Are ego afraid we're going to hurt ourselves?
I've got one of these with the D handle. Really like the bull bars. But EGO only sells with the D handles in the united states. No idea why? LOVE the thing. Plenty of power and no exhaust fumes blowing out next to your head. Another thing I never thought of until I had electric equipment is safety factor (and this applies to electric lawn mowers too). The electric is much safer as no hesitation to shut off to check for dangerous things in your path, etc. simple because to restart no pulling, etc. just push a button or apply a little pressure to your power lever!! And much quieter too.
The skin only version of this is selling in Aus for 169.00 Aus (117.00 US) with free postage. Just ordered one, already have the power head line trimmer and self propelled lawn mower.
@@marka6487 Cool. I’m going to take the bull bars off my old Stihl and put them on the Ego. Then I’m going to mount the controls out on the end just like old Stihl and go to town on the weeds!
Fiyatı nedir nasıl ulaşabilirim
can this model be purchased in the us?
No! EGO site on 6/2021 in Australia notes that the residential model with bull handles has been discontinued. I opine that it will never be avaliable in the USA. The commercial model is avaliable in Australia and New Zealand for $570 US dollars. Perhaps they did not want untrained homeowners using a brush cutter as opposed to a string trimmer.
Can I have the ego trimmer
I like to initiate, copy, watch,& purchase similar of this Ego Brushcutter modest number BC3802E-(brush cutter with handlebars) Ego 56v Cordless and I will be glad with full appreciation if I can get or purchase at any of these market stores, i:e- B&Q, or Machine-mart Store or any of British Screw-Fix stores and that's all I Knew at the moment!!!
Sule Shangodoyin.
