Honda Power Equipment introduced the HHT25S LTA 4-stroke trimmer aimed at the commercial, rental and premium residential markets. The new 360-degree inclinable trimmer promises to be the lightest and quietest of its kind with a weight reduction of 2.58 pounds and a noise reduction of 2.1 decibels over the UMK422 that it replaces.

The product is now available through Honda Power Equipment dealers and numerous rental outlets nationwide.

“This new trimmer was designed to bridge the weight gap between Honda and the 2-stroke competition,” says Steve Bailey, Honda Power Equipment assistant vice president. “With our new technology, 4-stroke trimmers are ready for prime time.”

Lower noise, weight and vibration result in a significant reduction in operator fatigue. This has been achieved primarily by the use of Honda's new GX25 mini 4-stroke engine.

Advanced engine technology allows the trimmer to be continuously operated and stored in any position, and its use of mechanical decompression results in a 40 percent reduction in the effort required for starting for class-leading performance. A lightened flywheel works with a new accelerator pump-equipped carburetor to achieve rapid acceleration on par with that of a 2-stroke trimmer.

Balance and maneuverability have been greatly improved by optimizing the engine's center of gravity and by relocating the throttle assembly and loop handle. The product's full-cover engine design reduces snagging on branches or other objects during operation, but can be easily removed with a single bolt for ease of maintenance.
