Advantages and disadvantages
The cultivator attachment for the petrol trimmer, regardless of its type, increases the weight of the assembled unit up to 5-6 kg. This product is quite popular among the buyer, which is distinguished by its ease of maintenance. This device is characterized by a more acceptable cost in comparison with equipment for a motor-cultivator. The cultivator attachment for the gasoline trimmer is convenient in greenhouses, it not only loosens the soil, but also saturates it with oxygen.
Considering that this device is made with a high-quality assembly, it is durable, which cannot but please the user. The devices themselves really simplify the work of the summer resident and allow them to speed up his work.
As for the disadvantages of cultivator nozzles for the benzotrimmer, many buyers note their weight. The lack of weight of the device is the reason that, when faced with difficult soil, it may not go deep into the soil at all, but only scratch its top layer. In addition, as practice shows, in such attachments it is impossible to press the cutters to the ground. This is fraught with the fact that the bar begins to spring, and, as a result, the equipment quickly wears out.
If you try to press the device more strongly to the ground, the bar does not withstand and bends, which may break the scythe or the working attachment itself. The drive rod is quite long; during cultivation, vibrations cannot be avoided, the magnitude of which is directly related to the length of the rod itself. In addition, it depends on the complexity of the area to be treated, because the load on the discs and cutters in the case of dense soil will be greater.
It is difficult to hold a vibrating instrument for a long time, as well as to operate it. In this case, it is also worth knowing that constant work with a vibrating instrument can be fraught with negative consequences for human health. For example, constant vibration can damage the blood vessels and nerves in the fingers for those who have problems with the blood supply. Long-term work with a brushcutter with a cultivation attachment may cause problems for healthy people.
If we are already taking a hitch for cultivating the land, then it is better to choose the disk option. It is equipped with a protective cover, although this somewhat complicates the user's work. As for the independent manufacture of the nozzle, this process does not always give an effective result. In addition to the fact that the work on the manufacture of a sample for soil cultivation is laborious, it does not always turn out to be of high quality and reliable. In addition, self-made products do not always cope with turf.
The equipment must be removed to flush the cutters. In addition, the device must be lubricated with oil from time to time. Considering the sharpness of the blade, work with gloves. In the process of cultivating the soil, you cannot switch to high speed. In order to properly put on the protective screen with the line limiter, it is necessary to remove the limit nut from it, insert the bracket into the slot and rotate the screen until it passes through the bracket slot. After that, you need to tighten the wing nut tightly over the bolt.
To install the attachment on the brushcutter, it is necessary to remove the plug from the hitch rod. After that, the connection is made so that the locking (release) button enters the recess on the hitch. The attachment is pushed forward until the button clicks into place. Before starting the work process, you need to tighten the knob firmly by turning it clockwise. If the holes are not suitable, this attachment cannot be used with the existing petrol trimmer.

Depending on the type, the device may or may not have a cutter.On this basis, it can be classified into gear or disc. Products of the first type are characterized by the presence of cutters, which are located on both sides of the drive shaft. The second options work by means of cutting discs. However, the presence or absence of cutters does not affect the functionality - cultivator attachments for a gasoline trimmer are bought for loosening the soil.
The differences between varieties lie in the type of soil that the cultivator implements themselves cope with. For example, the toothed type varieties are lighter, however, because of this, they are not able to work on difficult soil. Disk analogues can work not only with light soil. These attachments are more rigid, stronger and more durable.
