Brushcutter (garden tool)

A brushcutter (also called a brush saw, clearing saw or gasoline goat) is a powered garden or agricultural tool used to trim weeds, small trees, and other foliage not accessible by a lawn mower or rotary mower. Various blades or trimmer heads can be attached to the machine for specific applications.

It consists of:

• A power unit held close to the body.
• A pole through which the power is transmitted.
• A rotary cutting head at the opposite end of the pole to the power unit.
