I received my BBt Backpack Brushcutter on 21/3/11 so I am writing an innital review. The BBT bpbc was bought on Ebay for $228 delivered. Ordered Thursday night 17/3/11 received Monday morning very quick delivery.
The BBT bpbc is made in China.It has a 43cc motor.I had not seen in the flesh a bpbc so was going on faith. Instruction book that comes with it could be better. I have wrote to BBT suggesting they make a DVD showing how to put the bpbc together.Even I could put thebpbc together but it could have been easier. One of the screws with allen heads that attachs the handle to the shaft was a "funny size" not metric or af. I threw it & got 1 from my collection to fit.After filling the fuel tank with fuel I started the beast. Motor is 2 stroke & 25:1 ratio.
The choke is funny on is off & off is on but it does work. Prime it choke it & 5 pulls later going. Later that day when showing my son the new toy it went first pull. Now it normally starts on the second pull.I think that is good.
Using the bpbc there is noticeably less vibration than my old Echo SRM 3450. The bpbc has noticeably more power than my old Echo SRM2450.
On friday I did a feral yard knee high kikuya 5 feet high cobblers pegs etc. 2.5 hours with the blade on the bpbc & it was down so I could mow it with my Big Bob mower. I was a lot fresher using the bpbc than my old Echo.
I really like the bpbc & anyone on a budget like me could do a lot worse.I feel it is very good value for money. Time will tell how it lasts.
Cheers
