The FS 260 C-E brush cutter is a rugged heavy duty brush cutter designed for all day use by both large property owners, landscape gardeners and government departments and councils especially those with freeway maintenance where big jobs need lots of power with out the vibration and high fuel consumption. Whilst large in capacity and power the FS 260 C-E is well balanced for its size, having a solid drive shaft it can be used with all metal grass blades for slashing and clearing. The handle can be quickly adjusted without tools for operator comfort and the handle has soft rubber grips for less vibration transfer.
