What is the criteria/reason to upgrade to the UMC 435 over the UMC 425. I'm not so worried about cost and will ONLY use a line trimmer and possibly a blower?

435 much more powerful 35cc against 25cc

Does anyone know if the drive shaft is solid steel or a nylon type as used in bent shaft types? I wonder if they are a full commercial spec?

Hi Racky,
Unsure on the exact answer but I seem to recall the sales guy saying a solid shaft. I did the comparison between these and the equivalent Stihl model, and I had to go to the "Middle" spec/size motor to get a contractor tool, whereas he said the honda umc 425 is a contractor level tool. Apologies but thats as good as I remember and hope this helps. Cheers, Paul

Hi Kelly, there are lots of places but pretty much where you previously purchased your machine from.

Not sure kelly, I havent replace mine yet. I would suggest a reputable specialist mower repair place, including where you bought it (I assume you bought it new?). Bunnings or Masters dont sell Honda Whipper snippers

Can you fix a metal blade to the UMC? Instead of a nylon head?

I asked the specialist if I can attach one on and they replied that it is possible. I have purchased the metal plate with bolt and nylon nut but haven't installed it yet.

Hi Honda,
I am curious about purchasing one of these ... On the brushcutter, can you change the nylon head out for a metal tooth blade just like you can with the UMK425 and UMK435?

HI Della,

My name's Dylan and I work in the marketing department at Honda Power Equipment head office. You can change the head just like you would with the UMK425/435. If you require assistance in replacing the nylon head with the metal tooth blade, speak to your local Honda Power Equipment dealer when you pick it up!

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Dylan
