Forestry Mowers: Buying Guide

A brush cutter or Forestry Mowers is a gardening tool designed to cut tall grass, brambles, shrubs and wild vegetation in areas difficult to reach with a traditional lawn mower. Generally more compact than a traditional mower, the brush cutter is designed to handle more complex cutting than normal lawns and gardens.
The brush cutter is used to cut grass on slopes, ditches and uneven areas as well as to eliminate brambles, undergrowth and small shrubs. Using a brush cutter or clearing saw helps keep roadsides, fields and abandoned gardens clean and prepares the ground before using a lawn mower.

Wheels: how to choose

Wheels are a fundamental component in brush cutters, as they affect the tool's stability, maneuverability and durability. Here's a guide to understand which to choose:

Pneumatic Wheels

Advantages:

  • Ideal for uneven and soft terrain (lawns with holes, slopes, rough ground)
  • Better absorb vibrations, reducing fatigue during use
  • Quieter than steel wheels
  • Less damaging to the lawn (if properly inflated)

Disadvantages:

  • Can get punctured if used on rocks or sharp branches
  • Require more maintenance (pressure checks)

Steel Wheels

Advantages:

  • Resistant to impacts and cuts (ideal for terrain with stones, brambles and debris)
  • Zero maintenance (no inflation, no puncture risk)
  • More stable on hard surfaces (asphalt, gravel)

Disadvantages:

  • Transmit more vibrations to the operator
  • Can damage the lawn if used on tender grass
  • Louder than rubber wheels
