Blue Bird GX50 - Honda Backpack Engine 180 cm Petrol Hook Shaker - Olive Shaker

The Blue Bird GX50 brush cutter with hook shaker is a versatile solution for harvesting olives. This model combines the functionality of an internal combustion engine with a shaker designed for efficiency and user-friendliness.
The Honda GX50 4-stroke 47.9cc engine delivers a power output of 1.47kW, ensuring high performance and low fuel consumption.
Backpack mounted, it delivers consistent power with moderate fuel consumption, making it suitable for both occasional and intensive use. The 180 cm pole allows comfortable operation on plants of different heights up to 4 metres without the need for additional ladders or additional supports.

This tool is designed to withstand extended use thanks to the quality of its construction materials and attention to the strength of its components. The hook-type shaking system allows precise work on plant branches, ensuring gentle harvesting that preserves the integrity of the plant. The balanced weight, combined with the ergonomic design of the backpack, reduces operator fatigue even during long working sessions.
The Honda engine is equipped with an automatic decompression system.

The product is equipped with two interchangeable poles, brush cutter and 180cm pole.

Brush cutters with HONDA GX 50 engine are particularly innovative thanks to the new 4-stroke petrol engines. Lower consumption, less polluting emissions, less noise and increased comfort thanks to the use of petrol:

• POLLUTING EMISSIONS: - 70% approx.
• CONSUMPTION: - 50% approx.
• NOISE: - 30% approx.
• VIBRATION: - 40% approx.

Moreover, thanks to technological research, Honda invented the first 4-stroke engine which operates at any inclination. This configuration is called "any-side-up".

The Honda GX 50 is a 47.9 cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke engine. It is equipped with a single cylinder, and it develops a max. power of 1.47 Hp at 7000 rpm, and a torque of 2.2 Nm at 5000 revolutions per minute.

The weight and size of the engine are very low, only 4.1 kg dry.

The Honda GX50 engine runs on petrol. It comes with a 130ml oil tank, which feeds the unique lubrication system that Honda has developed for these engines.

No more fuel issues and no need to prepare the mixture or worry about having fresh mixture supplies. Eco-friendly engine: one of the least polluting models of this sector.

Focus on the recoil start system.

WARNING: the engine does not contain oil (read the instructions manual before use)

The Blue Bird Industries transmission made for backpack brush cutters consists of 2 parts:

1- aluminium tube with a diameter of 27 mm, which contains an 8 mm inner shaft made of high-strength steel.

2- flexible coupling between motor and rod with a very high-strength flexible steel rope inside it

The transmission is equipped with a set of 6 professional self-lubricating bushings for long service life even under heavy and professional use.

The materials used to make both the shaft and the hose are of the highest quality and made in Italy.

Focus on the quick release between hose and rod. It splits into 2 in a second for carrying it in the car, storing it in the garage etc...

Increasingly, brush cutters with Honda engines and Chinese transmission systems are being introduced onto the market. These drive units, when under normal working stress, deteriorate very quickly due to the low quality, low hardness and low thickness of the material used. Furthermore, the very high performance of the Honda engine would require a transmission of the same quality to enable the shaft to withstand the engine's high level of power and performance.

The Blue Bird Industries bevel gear is entirely of light alloy and features 4 self-lubricating bearings inside, 2 dedicated to the pinion and 2 for the crown gear. It is the largest bevel gear in its class, which is also evident from its massive size.

The steel used to make both the crown gear and the pinion is top-grade and is a high-strength steel, extremely well suited to withstanding mechanical stress.

Furthermore, the crown and pinion are entirely designed and moulded in Italy.

Increasingly, brush cutters with Honda engines and Chinese bevel-gear transmission systems are being introduced onto the market. These drive units, when under normal working stress, deteriorate very quickly due to the low quality, low hardness and low thickness of the material used. Furthermore, the very high performance of the Honda engine would require a transmission of the same quality to enable the bevel gear to withstand the engine's high level of power and performance.

Focus on the large stone guard with additional protective band equipped with removable counter blade. It has to be assembled for operating with the line heads and disassembled for operating with the blades or other types of accessories.

The brush cutter with Honda GX 50 engine is equipped with a super-comfort padded professional backpack with high back and adjustable settings.

Main features of the backpack:

• high back with padded cushions for great comfort
• back protection
• super-comfort braces of considerable width
• padding with multiple adjustments
• Convenient storage bag
