Kress 60V Commercial Brush Cutter (42cm / Rear Motor) – Cordless Line Trimmer

Instantly obliterate massive-scale municipal overgrowth, completely eradicate the toxic fumes of petrol engines, and guarantee absolute worksite dominance with the highly formidable, terrifyingly powerful Kress 60V Commercial Brush Cutter (KC170.9). In the grueling commercial landscaping sector, relying on old petrol trimmers means highly expensive fuel mixing, constant engine maintenance, and severe operator nerve fatigue from violent vibrations. This elite cordless line trimmer completely revolutionizes outdoor power equipment. Powered by the incredibly advanced Kress CyberSystem 60V battery platform, it features a heavy-duty, commercial-grade brushless motor mounted at the REAR of the machine. This generates an absolutely terrifying 1.5 kW of raw output—perfectly matching the devastating torque of a massive 45cc petrol engine, effortlessly violently ripping through dense, overgrown grass and thick woody brush without ever bogging down.

Engineered for unparalleled worksite endurance and ultimate operator comfort on vast, open fields, the KC170.9 entirely eliminates the agonizing frustration of manual line winding. It features a revolutionary Quick-Load trimmer head that automatically reloads a massive 9 metres of heavy-duty line in under 30 seconds. Built for absolute survival in brutal outdoor environments, it boasts an indestructible rigid steel driveshaft, an adjustable ergonomic bicycle-style handlebar, and a highly certified IPX5 waterproof rating, allowing you to operate safely in driving rain. Complete with a highly intelligent LED control panel and a double-shoulder harness, this premium battery whipper snipper is the definitive, uncompromising weapon for serious professional landscapers demanding zero emissions and absolute, petrol-crushing power.

Who Is The Kress 60V Commercial Brush Cutter (Rear Motor) Ideal For?

The KC170.9 delivers a colossal 1.5 kW of power, a rear-mounted motor for balance, and an ergonomic bike handle. It is highly recommended for:

  • Commercial Landscapers & Contractors: Utilizing a devastatingly powerful, high-torque cordless line trimmer to violently slash through dense, overgrown brush and thick weeds all day without the massive operating costs of purchasing and mixing 2-stroke petrol.
  • Agricultural & Rural Property Owners: Relying on the massive 42cm cutting path and bicycle handle to swing the machine effortlessly across vast paddocks and steep, overgrown rural embankments without suffering extreme back fatigue.
  • Municipal Councils & Parks: Taking absolute advantage of the ultra-quiet operation and zero-emission motor to safely execute massive-scale brush clearing around active schools and hospitals without causing severe noise complaints.
  • Eco-Conscious Facilities: Deploying the premium battery whipper snipper to completely eradicate their carbon footprint while maintaining absolute, uncompromising 45cc petrol-level performance.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

  • Devastating 1.5 kW Brushless Motor: The absolute pinnacle of electric power. The rear-mounted, commercial-grade brushless motor generates terrifying torque that directly matches a massive 45cc petrol engine, completely refusing to stall in thick, wet grass or heavy woody weeds.
  • Rear-Motor Design: Engineered for absolute ergonomic perfection. Placing the heavy electric motor at the rear of the machine (near the battery) perfectly counterbalances the weight of the long shaft and cutting head, preventing your arms from burning with fatigue during a 10-hour shift.
  • Ergonomic Bicycle Handlebar: The ultimate fatigue-saver. The offset 'bullhorn' handles allow you to hook the machine to the included harness and swing it in a massive, sweeping arc using your entire core, drastically reducing wrist and forearm strain.
  • Revolutionary Quick-Load Head: Utterly eradicates operator frustration. You never have to manually dismantle the head and wind the line again. Simply feed the line through, twist the bump head, and it perfectly loads 9 metres of thick line in under 30 seconds.
  • IPX5 Waterproof Rating: Uncompromising environmental resilience. The entire machine is sealed against extreme weather, guaranteeing you can continue operating safely and flawlessly even if you get caught in a torrential downpour.

What is the difference between the KC111.9 and this KC170.9?

The KC170.9 is vastly more powerful. It features a rear-mounted motor that generates a terrifying 1.5 kW of power (matching a 45cc petrol engine), whereas the KC111.9 is a lighter, front-motor unit generating 0.9 kW (31cc equivalent). The KC170.9 is for heavy-duty, massive brush clearing.

Why does it have a 'Bicycle Handle' instead of a loop handle?

A loop handle is for quick, tight edging. A 'Bicycle Handle' (bullhorn) is designed for clearing massive, open fields and embankments. It allows you to hook the heavy machine to a harness and swing it in a wide arc using your core muscles, completely preventing arm fatigue.

Is a battery trimmer really as powerful as a 45cc petrol trimmer?

Absolutely. This is NOT a cheap domestic tool. The Kress KC170.9 is a dedicated 'Commercial-Grade' machine. Its massive 60V brushless motor generates 1.5 kW of raw output, providing the exact same terrifying torque and cutting speed as a massive 45cc 2-stroke petrol engine.

Does this kit include the battery and charger?

No. This specific listing is for the 'Skin Only' (the tool itself). To operate the machine, you must purchase a Kress Commercial 60V CyberSystem Lithium-Ion battery and a compatible Kress charging station separately.

Does it come with a metal brush-cutter blade?

Yes! The KC170.9 kit includes a heavy-duty metal 'Knife Blade'. You can instantly swap out the nylon string head for the metal blade to violently slash through thick, heavy, woody brush and dense saplings.

How does the 'Quick-Load' head work?

It completely eliminates the nightmare of winding line. You simply line up the arrows on the head, push the straight line straight through the eyelets until it comes out the other side, and then twist the bump knob. It internally winds up 9 metres of line perfectly in under 30 seconds.

Can I use this in the rain?

Yes! The Kress KC170.9 features a highly certified 'IPX5 Waterproof Rating'. The motor, battery connection, and internal electronics are completely sealed, allowing you to operate the machine safely and flawlessly in a torrential downpour.

How thick is the cutting line?

The heavy-duty bump-feed head is specifically engineered to accommodate massive, commercial-grade trimmer line between 2.4 mm and 2.7 mm thick. This thick line aggressively resists snapping when you hit chain-link fences or concrete.

Is it quiet enough to use near a hospital or school?

Yes. This is the massive advantage of electric over petrol. The brushless motor produces zero exhaust fumes and operates at a phenomenally low noise level, easily complying with the strictest local council noise limits for early-morning hospital or school maintenance.

Can I use Kress batteries from my other tools in this?

Yes! The KC170.9 is fully compatible with the entire 'Kress Commercial 60V CyberSystem' platform. You can seamlessly swap massive 60V batteries between your Kress backpack blower, chainsaw, and this trimmer instantly.

Does it come with a harness?

Yes, because it is a massive commercial machine with a bicycle handle, the kit includes a 'Standard Double-Shoulder Harness'. This comfortably distributes the weight of the machine across both your shoulders, making it feel virtually weightless.

Do you offer trade pricing for landscaping fleets?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for commercial landscaping contractors, municipal councils, and facility managers outfitting their fleets with zero-emission Kress equipment. Contact us to establish your account.
