2-STROKE vs 4-STROKECut costs with a Honda 4-stroke

Testing is based on usage of 3 hours per day, 5 days per week, equating to 45 weeks per year. The running cost of fuel and oil for a Honda 4-stroke brushcutter is almost half the price of running a 2-stroke brushcutter. This means that for every 1-2 years of using a Honda brushcutter you will

save enough money on fuel and oil to be able to purchase a new Honda Brushcutter.*

* Fuel and oil consumption figures were derived by an independent testing laboratory on new products of similar power output. 2-Stroke fuel to oil mix is based on a ratio of 50:1. 4-Stroke oil consumption is based on 1cc/hour maximum oil change frequency of 45 hours use. The images used are for illustration purposes only and do not accurately represent fuel and oil consumption.
