Product Description
The Cub Cadet BC490 (17″) 25cc 4-Cycle Straight Shaft Gas with Separate String Trimmer and Brush Cutter Attachments makes cutting heavy weeds for entry-level gardeners a breeze thanks to the 4-cycle gas engine has more power than a 2-cycle trimmer without high RPM’s, and is quiet and runs cleanly. You’ll use less fuel, plus it does not require you to mix gas and oil!
The extended-length straight shaft will help you trim under bushes with ease. The trimmer attachment features a 17” cutting swath with a bump head line release which makes advancing the trimmer line easy. You’ll want to use a standard .095″ line.
The brushcutter attachment will make cutting heavy greenery simple, thanks to the 8-inch, 4-tooth steel blade. You can also add other attachments if you’d like, such as a blower or an edger.
Editor’s Note
If you want to clean up the edges of your driveway or garden, you may also consider buying the Poulan Pro PP1000E Curved Edger Attachment. Or, if you’re looking for something more powerful, you may want to choose the mid-grade Honda HHT35SUKAT (17″) 35cc 4-Cycle Straight Shaft String Trimmer/Brushcutter, which features a bicycle-type handle!
