Grass trimmers and Grass cutters

Trim lawn edges, borders and grass in areas a lawn mower cannot reach with a Husqvarna grass trimmer. Explore battery, petrol, professional and combi models, then compare cutting width, working weight and compatible cutting equipment.

How to choose the right grass trimmer 

The right grass trimmer depends on what you need to cut, the size of the area and how often you expect to use the machine. A lightweight model may be sufficient for routine lawn edging, while larger gardens, taller grass and frequent work place more importance on cutting width, working time and weight.

- Routine edging in a small garden: Compare working weight, balance and battery inclusion. A handheld battery grass trimmer is often a good choice for this type of work.
- Larger gardens or taller grass: Compare cutting width, working time, weight and compatible cutting equipment. A higher-output battery or petrol model may be more suitable for these tasks.
- Several different garden tasks: Compare attachment compatibility and shaft design. A combi trimmer can be a practical choice when you need one machine for different tasks.
- Frequent commercial work: Compare working weight, cutting width, controls and expected working time. A professional grass trimmer is designed for frequent commercial use.

Grass trimmer or brushcutter?

A grass trimmer is primarily intended for lawn edges, borders, grass around obstacles and areas that are difficult to reach with a mower.
For dense vegetation, undergrowth or more demanding clearing, a brushcutter may be a better starting point. Always choose the product type and cutting equipment that are approved for the task and the individual model. 

Understanding grass trimmer specifications

Cutting width

Cutting width indicates the area covered by the cutting equipment in each pass. A wider cutting width can be useful for larger areas, but it should be considered together with the machine's weight, balance and intended use.

Working weight

Check how the weight is defined when comparing models. Battery grass trimmers may be listed without the battery and cutting equipment, while petrol models may be listed without cutting equipment. The complete working weight will therefore be higher than the headline figure.

Trimmer heads and line

Trimmer heads, line diameters and other cutting equipment are model-specific. Check the product page or operator's manual before replacing the head, line or cutting equipment. Trimmer Lines.
