 If
you are looking for a basic machine then it is hard to go
past the Hunkin Trimmer Mower. This machine is built for
us in China and is a cheaper alternative to the DR
Trimmer also featured on our website.
A Loncin 159cc 4-stroke petrol engine powers the trimmer.
Loncin are one of the "big three" Chinese engine
manufacturers. The engine is of an overhead valve (OHV)
design. Overhead valve engines, when compared to side
valve engines have more torque per cc and are more fuel
efficient due to improved gas flow inside the cylinder.

 The
machine weighs approximately 31kgs and the large 350mm wheels
carry nearly all this weight. This makes the machine very
easy to push and is a far better way to cut long grass than
the smokey noisy two-stroke hand held machines that are
quite common. With a cutting width of 460mm it is also gets
the job done a lot faster.
The steel mowball prevents scalping and sets the height
at which the grass will be cut. It can be set between
38 and 76mm so there is plenty of adjustment. The handlebars
are adjustable with all the controls in easy reach of
the operator. A safety bail bar / lever combination stops
accidental starting of the trimming head and stops it
should you slip over.

  Theline
is a lot thicker than thin standard trimmer line and up
to 4 times stronger so it lasts a lot longer in the machine
(this of course is dependent on the type of material being
cut). Changing the line is easy. No jamming line dispensers,
just thread the line through and you are done. No knots
to weaken the line. The cord retaining system is made
of steel, not plastic.

 We
have done quite a lot of testing on this machine, mowing
down weeds and grass on our neighbour's frontage and also
taming our own orchard. The weeds and grasses were about
300mm high (some taller) with some really tough grasses
and thick stalky weeds. We expected the machine to struggle
and thought we would have lots of string breakages. To
our surprise the machine just sliced through the grass.
We were really impressed and excited to find a cheaper
trimmer mower that could compete with the more expensive
machines.

| The following pictures show the machine with the covers
off. A large cast alloy bearing support is at the front
of the machine to support the trimmer head and it is bolted
with 12mm bolts to the pressed steel body. A heavy duty
16mm keyed shaft does the driving. The idler pulleys are
on roller bearings and act as a clutch by tightening the
belt. The steel mowball can be adjusted up and down the
shaft to alter the grass cutting height. |

Customer comment
 Hi
Graham,
We have just got back from Waihi where I spent
a couple of days getting used to my new mower. It
is wonderful. I certainly won't be giving it back
after one month. I have attached photos of the type
of work I made it do on day one and it handled it
very well (me not so well - gained a lot of new
muscles). The close-up photo shows you how swampy
and bumpy and horrible it is. Most of it isn't even
grass either. It is really tough reeds and paspallum.
If you look over on the far side of the pond
in the other photo you will see that it actually
does give a reasonably manicured look on better,
smoother soil with low grass, so I am happy on all
counts. I love the way it throws the grass neatly
to one side - makes it easy to pick up and use for
sheet mulching elsewhere.
