Husqvarna Forest Garden 970514405 Gas String Trimmer 28cc

Product Description

The HUSQVARNA FOREST GARDEN 970514405 is a 28cc, 2-cycle gas-powered string trimmer built for professional-grade vegetation control. The straight shaft design provides extended reach for trimming along fences, under obstacles, and around landscape beds where a curved shaft cannot maneuver effectively. With an 18-inch cutting path, this unit covers ground efficiently on larger residential properties and light commercial sites. The 2-cycle engine runs on a gasoline and oil mix, delivering the power-to-weight ratio that grounds maintenance professionals expect from a dedicated line trimmer. At 17.8 pounds, it sits in a manageable weight class for extended use during a full workday.

This trimmer is suited for residential and light commercial landscaping applications where consistent, reliable gas power is preferred over battery or corded alternatives. The straight shaft configuration makes it a practical choice for professional landscapers, groundskeepers, and experienced operators who need to work around obstacles and maintain clean edges along hardscapes, turf borders, and overgrown areas. The 28cc displacement provides sufficient power for standard trimming tasks and moderate brush work.
