Caring for a personal plot is getting easier every day. Manufacturing companies do everything to ensure that their tools have maximum power and the widest functionality. Of course, the industry is developing more and more rapidly thanks to this approach, but it also has its drawbacks - it is sometimes difficult for buyers to understand the characteristics of a particular model. After all, it's really not easy - looking at the picture in the online store, to understand whether the tool is right for you or not. For example, the "Shtil FS55" lawn mower does not look very attractive, but this does not prevent it from holding a leading position in the market.
In this comparative review, we will take a closer look at the two most popular options. Our first hero is the Oleo-Mac Sparta 25, a lightweight brushcutter with the endurance of a professional tool. The Stihl FS55 lawn mower, a perfectly balanced two-handed unit, will compete with it.
Both tools run on gasoline engines. Their power is approximately the same - 1.1 horsepower or 0.8 kW. But at the same time, each unit disposes of powerin my own way. The models presented below can be attributed to light lawn mowers, which means they are not designed to work on large areas. Both tools can use a trimmer attachment, which means they can handle any terrain. The Shtil FS55 lawn mower is in the same price segment as the Oleo-Mac Sparta 25, so it makes sense to compare them. Well, let's get started!
Oleo-Mac Sparta 25
In general, model 25 is a light scythe, but the manufacturing company has laid down a large width of work - "Sparta" can mow strips up to 38 centimeters wide. If we add to this a fuel tank with a volume of 0.75 liters and systems that increase the duration of the engine, it turns out that we are considering a semi-professional tool at the price of representatives of the light class. The competitor of the 25th Sparta, the Shtil FS55 lawn mower, cannot boast of such volumes.
The filling of the engine is responsible for the quality of work and the durability of the tool itself. The electronic ignition system makes it easier to start the engine. A diaphragm pumped carburetor contributes to trouble-free operation, while a forged steel connecting rod and crankshaft make the brushcutter extremely durable.
Motokosa "Calm FS55"
If "Sparta" is a tool for which the characteristics of the duration of work are priority, then "Shtil FS55" is a scythe for convenient and easy work. It has a relatively low noise level of 94 decibels,reduced vibration coefficient, and also it weighs little. All this makes the tool ideal for those who just want to take care of their personal plot. Maintenance and repair of lawn mowers "Shtil" takes over the service center.
The tool is so well balanced that it can be used even without a shoulder strap. The stock 55 model includes a flexible grass blade, but the modular bar also supports trimmer attachments. All these characteristics were brought to the pedestal by the "Calm" lawn mowers. User reviews confirm this 100%.
