Gasoline mower McCulloch – review of the model range, reviews of the brand

Overview of trimmers, lawn mowers and lawn mowers from McCulloch. Applications and performance

A lot of different high quality devices are produced under the McCulloch brand name. This company has a lot of experience in designing and producing high quality equipment. The first McCulloch models rolled off the production line in 1949 when the world saw the first chainsaw. The tool was then indispensable for woodcutters for more than 20 years. The first gardening tools were launched in the late 1970s.

Now McCulloch is part of the world-famous Husqvarna group. And it produces first-class trimmers, combining experience and innovative technology in its machines.

The main advantages of McCulloch lawnmowers and trimmers are as follows:

1. High-quality engines and components;
2. Ergonomic handles;
3. Large assortment;
4. Wide range of accessories.

Let’s take a closer look at McCulloch lawn care products.

McCulloch Trimmer

Lawn trimmers can easily manage up to 10 acres of lawn. These machines feature a soft-start easy start system so starting is smooth and smooth.

A wide plastic deflector shield protects the operator from grass and stones flying around.

The McCulloch line of petrol trimmers not only delivers good performance but also looks modern.

The anti-vibration system reduces vibrations to a minimum so operators won’t feel uncomfortable in their hands.

McCulloch T22 LCS Trimmer

This machine has a 0.8 hp gasoline engine.

The recommended engine speed is 7,200 rpm, and the maximum speed can reach 7,800 rpm.

Without the trimmer head, the weight of the mower is 4.6 kg. The fuel tank has a capacity of only 0.6 liters, which is enough to work for 40 minutes off-line without refueling.

McCulloch B28 B trimmer

This is a more advanced model of gasoline lawnmower, which is equipped with a 1.2 HP engine. It also comes with a Grass 200-4 bush and young shoot trimmer knife.

• The tank capacity of this trimmer model is 0.45 liters.
• The bicycle handle, along with the lightweight and sturdy shoulder strap, provide comfortable operation.
• The McCulloch B 28 B weighs 5.4 kg without the spool.

Mower

If you need to work on large plots of up to 40 acres, the McCulloch lawn mower is the recommended choice.

You can work in three different modes:

1. Collecting grass in the grass catcher box;
2. Shifting vegetation to the side;
3. Mulching.

While the operation of the first two modes is clear, the word mulch is new to many. In this position, the vegetation can be shredded and tossed onto the lawn for fertilization. This eliminates the collection of vegetation, as with normal side discharge, and stopping to empty the collection basket, as well as collecting in that basket.

While there are only two trimmers, there are several lawn mowers:

• This compact lawn mower has a width of 40 cm. The engine power of the McCulloch M40-125 is 2.17 hp.

• The McCullock M40-125 mower must be powered during operation.
• The grass catcher box has a volume of 50 liters and the mowing height can be set between 20 and 75 mm. in 4 positions.

Dmitry:

“I’m amazed at how well-designed these machines are. There’s a tube for cleaning. The hose connects to the water and everything! The gasoline lawnmower is clean and beautiful. It doesn’t use much gasoline. The handles are soft and easy to operate. The grass is mowed even near the curb and walls. For the dachaist it is simply irreplaceable!

McCulloch lawn mower – the powerful lawn mower with instant start

Gasoline lawn mowers are more powerful and mobile than electric mowers – they can work at a sufficient distance from the house. And if such a device belongs to a reliable brand, such as McCulloch, even bumps with bumps and tough stems of tall weeds are not an obstacle. Everything is mowed without problems and the area remains neat and tidy.

McCulloch petrol lawnmower

When this company was founded, it was called McCulloch Motors Corporation and dealt exclusively in chainsaws. It appeared in America in 1943. Today, more than seventy years later, the range of products includes almost all kinds of garden tools. Among them, of course, are trimmers with lawnmowers, as well as blowers and shears with gasoline engines. Since 1999 the company is part of the famous Husqvarna group.

McCulloch gasoline lawn mowers are equipped with American Briggs & Stratton four-stroke engines that are economical, easy to start and durable. The wheels of the mowers have a soft ride and can also move slightly on uneven terrain, as they have good ball bearings.

The steel body makes the units durable, and the presence of a mulching function makes them functional. Many models are equipped with a rear wheel drive and walk themselves.

The advantages of such devices:

• Wheels with tires of sufficiently large diameter and with bearings that are not afraid of punctures.
• Handle that can fold and change height, which is equipped with a soft rubber coating.
• Powerful engine with low fuel consumption, which starts with a bang (thanks to the “Ready Start” function).
• Soft cover for grass clippings, which allows you to slightly tilt the device.
• Most modifications have the ability to work in three modes, including mulch preparation.
• The presence of the branded nozzle Gardena, which easily and easily cleans the deck of grass.

Drawbacks:

• The road mounts (51 centimeters or more) are not great for close shrubbing with trees.
• The steel body makes the units quite heavy – it’s hard for a child, an old person or a frail woman to glory with them.
• The rear wheels are not too stubborn.
• Because of the gasoline engine, the units can not be called environmentally friendly.

Design and function of the works

The internal combustion engine, which is inserted by hand, is located at the top of the unit. Below are two pairs of wheels that hold the powder-coated steel housing. In most models, the rear pair of wheels has an undercarriage that allows you to move at a single speed. The sharply sharpened swivel blade, which rotates when the motor is running, is made of durable steel. It is manufactured using special PX3 technology, which makes the product virtually indestructible.

During normal operation, the grass cut with this blade is discharged into a soft, bulky container. If it is removed, the mass of grass will fall under the mower’s legs. Using the mulching plug (usually included), you can shred the grass again and make a valuable fertilizer that will be thrown on the plot. Using the central lever, several levels (five or six) of mower handle height can be set.

After work, cleaning the device from the clumped grass is easy – for this purpose, the manufacturer has provided a special device, on which the hose for washing is attached. A very convenient feature, and not every brand can boast with it.
