| Why won’t other equipment cut it? |
Rotary mowers, sickle bar mowers, hand-held weed cutters – while all of these are small enough to work around obstacles, none will do the work (with the ease) of the Outback Brushcutter.
Not only do you have to carry around hand-held brush cutters, they only cut debris once, meaning you also have to clean up after them.
Rotary mowers can mulch debris, but because they have low, enclosed housings, will choke and stall on anything more demanding than a manicured lawn.
Sickle bar mowers are made for heavy weeds, but again, they only cut debris once, leaving ground clutter to clean up. Plus, the side-to-side motion of the sickle bar creates a violent, tiresome vibration on the operator.
Only the Outback Brush Cutter is small enough to work around obstacles, is self-propelled and specifically designed to cut, chop and reduce heavy vegetation. |

| What will the Outback Brushcutter cut through? |
| Because the Outback Brushcutter has a considerably lower blade tip speed, higher torque and a thicker blade than rotary mowers, it is extremely easy to cut down tall weeds, saplings and small trees, The Billy Goat Outback Brushcutter can manage saplings up to 8ft. and trees up to 1-1/2” in diameter as well as tall, dense vegetation. |

| How does it work? |
| As you walk with your brush cutter, tall vegetation if first bent over and cut about 3” off the ground. The debris is then worked inside the cutting deck, finely chopped and forced down into the ground. The deck is designed specifically to process vegetation as quickly as possible so that debris won’t interfere with cutting action. Also see video clip on introduction page. |

| Why are the Outback Brushcutters safer than other brush cutters? |
Designed strictly to clear and maintain non-manicured lawns, the engineers behind the Outback Brushcutter were able to narrowly focus on performance and safety. First, the Outback Brushcutter offers an exclusive blade brake clutch which automatically stops the spinning blade should the operator lose control.
The Outback Brushcutter also has a low center of gravity, which keeps this Billy Goat stable along slopes while its aggressive tires help maintain traction over all terrains.
Then, by enclosing all moving parts, the Outback Brushcutter won’t snag debris in the V-belts, pulleys or drive train. Industrial-strength steel deflectors shield against flying debris, while its three forward speeds allow you to match your speed to the job at hand. The Outback Brushcutter also offers a standard reverse gear so you can get out of difficult areas easily. |

| |
| How does the Outback® Brushcutter work? |
| As the Outback® moves forward vegetation is bent over at the front of the mowing deck. This allows the cutting blade to cut the vegetation at its base. Cut debris is then fed into the deck where it is chopped into smaller pieces before rolling out the back of the deck. It is a very safe but effective design. |

| Should I be concerned if the Outback Brushcutter’s engine suddenly stalls when I’ve run into a hidden stump or rock? |
| Absolutely not. First, verify that the obstacle is free of the blade and the blade remains in good working condition. Wheel the unit backward a few feet, and then start the engine. Remember, the Outback® was designed for the unexpected. |

| |
| What is the maximum slope on which I can operate my brush cutter? |
| Never mow on a slope greater than 15°. Always mow across the face of slopes, never up and down or diagonally. Do not attempt sudden starts or stops when mowing or on a slope. Avoid sudden turns and use extreme caution when changing directions on a slope. |
