Line and blade do different work and the head fitted decides what the machine will handle. A line head whips through grass and soft weed and breaks harmlessly against a wall or a post. A blade cuts woody scrub that would simply stop a line, and will damage whatever it hits. Fitting a blade where a line was intended, or the reverse, is where most of these machines get damaged.
Engine size scales with that. The range runs 25.4cc and 26cc for grass trimming, through 32.5cc and 36cc, to 42.7cc on the brush cutters, and the larger engines carry a blade through scrub rather than stalling in it.
Two stroke and four stroke is a running rather than a cutting difference. A two stroke engine is lighter and runs on mixed fuel. A four stroke, at 31cc here, runs on straight petrol with separate oil, which removes the mixing and generally runs quieter. Draper hold both, with a 26cc two stroke grass trimmer and a 31cc four stroke brush cutter as the two ends.
Multi-tool powerheads take several heads from one engine, at 33cc and 34.6cc in 2-in-1 and 4-in-1 forms, which covers trimming, brush cutting, hedge work and pruning without four machines. Corded trimmers with double line feed cover smaller gardens. A photo of what needs cutting sent to 07754288583 on WhatsApp settles line against blade quickly. Cordless trimmers cover a small garden where neither fuel nor a lead is wanted.
