Honda GX 50 ZP - 4-stroke gasoline backpack brush cutter - Blue Bird rod

The brush cutter powered by the Honda GX 50 engine is a tool suitable for heavy-duty use, which can offer high-level performance along with efficiency and versatility.

Perfect for long work sessions: the comfortable backpack ensures correct movements and helps to prevent back strain.

It is powered by a powerful Honda GX 50 engine with 47.9 cc cubic capacity and 1.74 kW power.

Why choose a Honda brush cutter? 4-stroke brush cutters are the most advanced machines on the market thanks to their absolute efficiency in every aspect:

• High rpm rate
• High power output
• Renowned Honda reliability
• Powered by petrol, no need to prepare mixture
• 50% lower consumption than 2-stroke engines
• 70% less polluting emissions than 2-stroke engines
• 30% noise reduction compared to 2-stroke models
• 40% less vibration than 2-stroke models
• Quick and efficient start
• Reduced starting compression
• Extremely durable made in Italy transmission

The brush cutters powered by HONDA GX 50 engine are particularly innovating products thanks to their 4-stroke 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 LEVELS: - 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".

Honda GX 50 is a 47.9 cc, air-cooled, 4-stroke engine. It is equipped with a single cylinder and it develops a maximum power of 1.47 Hp at 7000 rpm, and a torque of 1.60 Nm at 5500 rpm.

The weight and size of the engine are highly reduced, only 3.0 kg dry.

Equipped with a 0.63 L fuel tank, the Honda GX35 engine runs on unleaded petrol. It is also equipped with a 130 ml 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 transmission of the backpack brush cutters consists of 2 different components:

1- 27 mm diameter aluminium tube containing a 8 mm high-strength steel transmission shaft.

2- flexible connection tube between the engine and the transmission shaft, which contains a high-strength flexible steel cord.

The transmission is equipped with a set of 6 heavy-duty self-lubricating bushings to ensure a long service life even under heavy-duty and demanding use.

The materials used for the pole, shaft and flexible fitting are of the highest quality and made in Italy.

Focus on the quick release device between the flexible fitting and the pole. It can be easily disassembled in 2 parts for transport and storage.

Increasingly, brush cutters with Honda engines and Chinese transmission systems are being introduced onto the market. When subjected to normal working stresses, these units deteriorate very quickly due to the low quality, low hardness and low thickness of the material used. In addition, the very high performance of the Honda engine would require a transmission of the same quality to enable the shaft to withstand the high level of power and performance of the engine.

The Blue Bird Industries bevel gear is entirely made of light alloy and inside it features 4self-lubricating bearings, 2 for the pinion and 2 for the crown gear. It is the biggest bevel gear of this category, as you can tell from its massive and voluminous size.

The crown gear and pinion are made of high-strength steel of the highest quality, extremely suitable to withstand mechanical strain.

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

Increasingly, brush cutters with Honda engines and transmission systems with Chinese bevel gear are being introduced onto the market. When subjected to normal working stresses, these units deteriorate very quickly due to the low quality, low hardness and low thickness of the material used. In addition, the very high performance of the Honda engine would require a transmission of the same quality to enable the shaft to withstand the high level of power and performance of the engine.

Focus on the large stone guard with an additional protective band equipped with removable counter blade. Apply it to work with line heads and remove it for operating with the discs or any other attachment.

The brush cutter powered by the Honda GX 50 engine is equipped with an adjustable highly-comfortable heavy-duty padded backpack with tall backrest.

Main features of the backpack:

• tall padded backrest for maximum comfort
• back protection
• extremely comfortable and large straps
• adjustable padded harness
• convenient tool pouch

Focus on the controls grip, where you can find the throttle control, power switch and safety switch.
