Powerful Enough Petrol Hedgetrimmer?
 

Blurb on the ad said:
"Duel action cutter that cuts up to 27mm thick, this makes it an ideal hedge
cutter for cutting thicker branches and hedges"
The engine is stated as a 25cm/3 whatever that means
I know little of these things, but 25cm seems puny for the job its supposed
to do (up to 27mm thick)

Any ideas/advice on this??

TIA

Well since it's a "Duel" action cutter then you presumably have to
swing it like a duelling sword for it to work.

More seriously though a 25cc engine will probably give you two or
three horsepower, quite sufficient to cut through a 1" branch if the
machine is well designed.

In general though a hedge cutter really only needs to be able to cut
up to half an inch or so. If you're cutting 1" branches then it's a
bit beyond 'hedge' cutting.

It is not the engine size that limits the size of branch it will cut as
much as the drive mechanism. My cutters were wrecked by a son who cut
through larger branches than it was designed for, as a result the cam
and cam follower was wrecked.
