Honda's recent developments in compact, lightweight four-stroke technology have led to the production of the superb GX25 engine. This powerful 25cc (1hp) unit has a number of advantages over its two-stroke predecessors, including superior reliability, enhanced fuel-economy & reduced emissions. Power from the engine is sent to the cutter-head via a heavy-duty solid drive-shaft for maximum torque. The Honda UMK425-UE 4-Stroke Brushcutter weighs only 5.43kg & is equipped with a professional-style 'bike'-type handle for greater control & manoeuvrability. A shoulder harness further enhances ease-of-use. Supplied as standard with a three-tooth metal blade & a nylon line head, the Honda UMK425-UE is capable of tackling both post-mowing grass-trimming & more demanding brush-clearing applications with equal effectiveness. Honda include protective goggles for user-safety.
