    There are three variants with regard to the shape of a mulching blade for the brush cutter:

    Cranked mulching blades

    our recommendation
    Oregon 295507-0 One-For-All 3-Tooth Universal Mulching Blade for Stihl, Husqvarna, Mitox, Echo, Kawasaki and other brands of brushcutters and brushcutters
    18.48 EUR To the product

    The offset mulching blade for the brush cutter (€139.99) has a wing shape. When it begins to rotate, the blades whirl up the cut blades of grass. Offset mulching blades are particularly suitable for short, dry grass.

    Slotted and cranked mulching blade

    Offset mulching knives for the brush cutter, which also have slots, are very similar to the variant above. However, they are a better choice for long, dry grass.

    Two-tooth mulching blade

    our recommendation
    Stihl 4000 713 3903 brushcutter 270mm x 20mm shredder blade
    36.00 EUR To the product

    Anyone who has neglected lawn care for a long time and therefore has to struggle with stubborn weeds and firm, dense grass is best to use a two-tooth mulching blade. This is installed vertically on the brushcutter and has a cutting blade at the end.

    Other purchase criteria

    In addition to the different mulching blade product types, the following purchase criteria are important:

    Type of mulching blade

    our recommendation
    Oregon 295507-0 One-For-All 3-Tooth Universal Mulching Blade for Stihl, Husqvarna, Mitox, Echo, Kawasaki and other brands of brushcutters and brushcutters
    18.48 EUR To the product

    Above all, make sure that your mulching blade is compatible with your brush cutter. Products that are declared in the trade as universal devices fit every brush cutter. Also keep in mind that when you buy a special mulching blade, you cannot buy the replacement parts from just any manufacturer.

    price

    The price of a mulching blade says a lot about its quality. So don't be too frugal. The costs usually range from 10 to 50 euros.

    Brands/ where to buy

    Whether in a hardware store or on the Internet, so that your mulching blade meets your quality requirements, you should use a branded product. We can recommend the following manufacturers:

    • Al-Ko
    • Bosch
    • Honda
    • Sabo
    • Vikings
    • Oregon

    care instructions

    Even the best mulching blade wears out over time. If you have the utensil sharpened regularly, you save yourself the effort and costs of purchasing a new one.

    equipment

    Unfortunately, the wear and tear mentioned above is inevitable. However, in order to delay the process as long as possible, a protective cover is recommended for non-use. This prevents the knife blades from wearing out when they come into contact with other tools.
