Brush cutter blades come in a variety of sizes. Depending on the model you purchase, you'll be shopping for 8- or 9-inch blade systems. Some machines require a specific blade shape, such as a “Y” or cross shaped blade. Before ordering replacement brush cutter blades, make sure the replacement will fit your particular model.

Important Differences in Brush Cutter Blades

One of the most important aspects to purchasing a brush cutter blade is the size of the bolt. Blades are attached to the brush cutter head by a bolt and nut. The hole in the center of the blade must be the correct dimensions for your model. If not, the blade will wobble posing a safety hazard.

Another thing to watch for is the diameter of the replacement blade system. If your brush cutter head is 10-inches and you purchase a 12-inch blade, it's going to end up shearing off parts of the plastic brush cutter head. It's important to double-check the dimensions to prevent injury from broken shards of plastic or brush cutter blade.

If you are uncertain if a replacement blade will work, refer to your owner's manual. Often the specific manufacturer has their own brand of brushcutter blades or recommends a specific brand.
