Handle Brush Cutter for the first time today. It was a big delight to handle 2 Horse Power with a simple hand lever.

With the 3T blade I cut an over grown plot with 3 years akintola weed Chromolena Odorata. I used 2 full tank fuel and had a nice cut just in 2 hour of work a plot is gone what will take 4 people two days.

I think the problem with many people is handling most of the manual in the market are chinko manual. I download Honda manual which is highly explanatory explaining the functions of various part and their use

Also I made youtube my friend. A friend bought the machine and gave it to his worker they wrote it off. But the one I handle today has terminated my prejudice
Against the Brush cutters.

Thank to enyibo who always try to remove drugery from farmwork.

I tell you. This machine is efficient if d user knows what to do with it.

Am happy your prejudice has been cleared. U can now go ahead & get one.

But, my advice for u is that u shld get a machine with available spare parts if u don't want a story that touch.

Our machine had available spare parts & engr that can repair in case of fault or damage.

Also, we can deliver to ur farm & teach ur staffs how to use or operate d machine (4 a small fee)

Mechanical weeder = Mechanical Farm assistant = Stressless farming = Happy farming.

Hoes & cutlasses = Manual farm assistant = Stressful farming = Unhappy faming.

Which option wld u rather prefer? TYC

One staff + one mechanical weeder = 1acre/day

4 staffs + cutlasses = 1acre/day.

Which one wld u rather choose?

What is the use of a machine we call mechanical farm assistant if it can't do all weeding on d farm?

I am sorry to tell u that it works perfectly well in vegetable farm as long as u are not using it to weed broadcasted vegetables.

It uses petrol mixed with engine oil in ration 25:1.

Normally, to harvest 1acre of wheat, rice etc, u will need minimum of 5 labourers per day. This machine will conveniently do ds job with just 1 labour. Hence, u hv sacked 4 labours.

Harvesting & threshing are 2 different jobs in a wheat/rice farm, which u will normally need another set of labour or a thresher.

U can however sack ur threshing staffs If u get a threshing machine.

Sack your farm labour.

Reduce your farming stress.

Get a mechanical weeder otherwise know as mechanical farm assistant.

Thank me later.

My concern here are the trees and shrubs around that will serve as obstacles and regularly colliding with the machine. Except you farm is properly cleared without the traces of shrubs and remains of trees

Yes, big trees whose girth is bigger that what d 80T can cut can initially constitute an impedance. But, shrubs hv no chance against a saw blade rotating at 10,000rpm.

With carefull manoeuvering, d so called big trees can be brought down with d 80T accessory.

So, wetin remain?

This machine is efficient for farm work in our environment.

tundayfarm:
well nice thread but have got some question please kindly provide answer...
1. what crop is this mechanical weeder used for cos apparently it can't do all...especially vegetable
2. what the cost for maintaining/operating this machine does it work on fuel/ electricity .
3.if it harvest wheat,rice and soybeans does it also thresh... cos if it doesn't thresh den I can't sack my labour..

kindly provide answers to my above questions sir

If your Akintola land mass to be cleared is like a plot of land you can go ahead but if you are talking about acres please employ the service of tree cutter with bigger chain saw.

Also the 80T Blade attachment are for Shrubs and smaller trees of like 10cm in radius. @saliubello said, don't put unrealistic expectations on this machines.

On the use of the 3T to clear the bush part, again I mentioned earlier that this things are more effective in a previously bulldozed land otherwise it is time and fuel consuming because you have lots of trees and shrubs to contend with. You need about 140 to 180 degree swing on a spot but with our mode of clearing I doubt if that will be possible.

Not entirely true.

Once u hv a chance to swing or gently turn your hand carrying d (3T or 80T) cutter, it will open a path for u into d bush.

As I said, one needs to know how to use it to appreciate it effectiveness.

First of all, i must state that my views may be biased because I sell this machine. But, I also use machine on my own farm to achieve what I hv not been able to achieve with manual labour.

Be as it may, we found out that the durability & versatility of d machine depends on d user. If d user is enthusiastic abt it & ready to unlearn old methods/ways, d machine will do wonders.

However, if d user is reluctant to change, it will be useless in his hands.

As stated by Saliu, normal care of machine applies.

There are different accessories for different jobs on d farm. D onus is on d user to know which particular accessory is suitable for a certain job.

As said by domack99, for weeding, one shldn't wait for d weeds to bcom giant b4 using d machine on them. By so doing, u will save a lot of stress.

We also found out that d brusher with rope is very very efficient in weeding as long as d weeds are still tender. it can weed inbtwn stones, stumps etc.

U can check pur thread here for more info

Also, if anybody has the time, you can pop in to our Ibadan offc for practical demo of how d machine works.

All in all, d machine works well if it is handled well & will surely reduce ur farm labour wahala.

A machine labour is always better than manual labour.

Thank you.

Don't be left behind.

Engage a mechanical farm assistant.

Farm ever happily after.

MDDarah84:
Can this be used a land that is fallowed for 5 years

If cutlasses can be used in such a bush & it will clear it, d mechanical weeder can do better work than d cutlasses.

It can be used for a land that has been left followed for 40yrs. In essence, any bush at all, whether thick bush or thin bush.

It's d best decision u can make in ur farming activities.
