Wild Badger 52cc brush cutter / string trimmer review and demo
zhlédnutí 919Před 2 měsíci
It is the start of summer and I am back at cleaning up weekend hide away. Today I will demonstrate and give my opinion on the Wild Badger 52cc string trimmer / brush cutter / weed whacker. You can form your own opinion if you think this is just another string trimmer with a brush blade, or if it is a legitimate brush cutter.

Do you think that rake would be good for removing weeds in? Say after several trips over the same area??
@captalex9007 it "might" get some of them, but I wouldn't commit to saying it would do a great job. A York rake would do a better job than this one. One of those would tear up the ground pretty good with several passes
Thanks!!@@DevaultFamilyLiving

Nice job babe! Thanks for all your hard work on making this spot so perfect for our dream home!
Your dream home. My dream everything else
Very nice!
Thanks Lex
THANK YOU. I used the link. I had to get it after seeing your vid!
Thank you for watching. I hope your grinder is as good to you as ours has been to us. Enjoy.
Your supervisor is patiently waiting on the floor to inspect the quality of the meat.🤣🤣🤣
@@BlahBlah122-b2t Lol
I am so grateful for your video! I saved over $200 on a meat grinder and got more HP!! With tax and free shipping, it was under $370!! I'm getting a dog and this was one of the biggest up front costs for me. Your review was so helpful. My future pittie is going to be so happy and healthy! Thank you for making this possible!♥♥😁🎉 -Marisa
I am glad it helped. Enjoy the new pup. Thanks for watching.
I want one!
It has been a useful tool to have around.
Keep an eye on the dust collector housing nozzle. Mine is only 2 months old and has several cracks around it already. Poor design cutting the nozzle off at 45° instead of 90°, and probably could have used a more suitable plastic. This issue has been raised many times on various sites, but Makita have done nothing to address it. (As of 2024)
Mine has had the same issue. As of now it still seems to work fine. Disappointing to say the least. Makita normally has very reliable products. Their quality seems to be going down over the last couple of years.
@@DevaultFamilyLiving Sadly I have to agree, quality not near what it used to be. 😞 I have submitted a warranty claim for mine, and hoping they replace it with the opaque blue/green ones that don't seem to have the issue a.f.a.i.k.
Thank you. Bought this today 7/22/24 for $315.52 for the same reason you use it for.
That is great. I hope you get as much hassle free use as I have had from mine. Thanks for watching.
How. To buy a book
How to buy a book
The only book that I am aware of for this tractor be can downloaded on tym.world/en-us/
Are replacement parts available? Especially blades or any other wear parts?
I am going to sharpen my knives and cutter plates soon (for the first time). I have not had any reason to look for new parts at this time. Both of the plates and knives are stamped with a #22 which are sold on Amazon and through other suppliers. Just look up "meat grinder cutter plates and blades #22". I don't believe that the seller of the grinder offers replacement parts, as this grinder is made for multiple suppliers, and sold under different brand names.
@@DevaultFamilyLiving Thank you very much. You just earned my subscription.
@@bayanon7532 Thanks much appreciated.
I decided to go big on my grinder. Wanted lots hp, reverse, big opening , got all that and the truck delivering could not get down my street and the grinder was loaded on a pallet. Worked out well i put it on a rolling cart.
@rrmerlin3402 must be a really big grinder to be delivered on a pallet.
@@DevaultFamilyLiving It's a # 22 from The Sausage maker at 60lbs or so I can still move around if needed. Yes, bigger is better. I used to grind with the kitchen aid mixer, and the price was a bargain to me. There is no chicken or turkey bone safe with me as I can drop the whole leg and thigh and away she goes.
Just seeing how the machine is holding up this looks just like what Ive been looking for
Still going strong with no problems
Thanks for the video. I've been watching other videos on the Badger 52cc. It's worth a shot to clear about an acre. May you please post a link to the Makita harness?
@TheBigORanch I will see if I can find it and put it in the video description. Give me a day or so, and I will let you know that it is there.
I put a link to the Makita back strap in the video description. I will add it on this comment as well, but not sure YT is going to allow it. www.amazon.com/Makita-122906-3-Brush-Cutter-Harness/dp/B00HPXYISU/ref=sr_1
Costway seems to be a distributor not a manufacturer. The ( 1 ) yr. warranty is suspicious . In the Q&A the Rep states " we don't sell parts separately " ??? Please Comment
I believe that you are correct. They are likely just a distributer. There have been other comments stating that the same grinder has been available through other websites under another name. I can say that I have had no issues with mine, and have only seen one person on here say they weren't completely happy with it. I'm not affiliated with Costway. I'm just a guy that did a video on a grinder that has been a good product for me.
Glad to see you're back!
It is good to be back. Hopefully I can get the weather to cooperate this weekend and get another video out soon. Thanks for watching and have a great day.

You're welcome. Thank you for watching.
How much did everything cost in oil and filter for the 50-hour maintenance ? Just want to know how much so I have an idea when I go to buy the stuff.
I bought extra oil, extra filters, a pump for the hydraulic oil, and grease when I did this. So I spent more then you normally would. To be honest, I couldn't give you an accurate answer. I would make a guess and say roughly $150 - $200 for all the oils, and filters.
@@DevaultFamilyLiving thank you for letting me know and your video help a lot too.
@@jamesw4912 your welcome
Nice to see reviews of this mower With someone with real grass ..😂not a weed patch… Again great video..👍🏼 I will purchase 40v Makita Commercial mower Folding handle not issue.. Ego & Green works, SHTL, DeWalt, Milwaukee are all with $$ range..
Lol. Thanks.
This 21" mower in the UK is being offered at £1,290 with 4 batteries. Sales are so low I’ve never seen one in a shop let alone met someone who owns it.
Holy smokes..... That crazy pricing. I can see why no retailer would carry it. Now you can pick them up on sale in the States pretty regularly for $699 (about 550 pounds) with 4 batteries and a charger.
@@DevaultFamilyLiving Gulp 🙄
Thanks for the helpful video. Are you still using it two years later?
Yes Ma'am. I still grind about 80lbs of meat & veggies about every 2 1/2 months. It is still working as good as was when new. Thank you for watching, and have a fantastic day.
@@DevaultFamilyLiving no problem! I just got a bernedoodle and she loves raw meat so I definitely want a grinder and am switching to the raw diet. Thanks again!
I just bought the kit with a battery and charger for $130. Had to jump on it. Now that I’ve watched this video, I’ve just ordered the cyclone attachment. I love the makita tools!!
It has been a great little tool around my garage. I use it almost daily. The cyclone attachment will save you from having to change the filters so often. Congrats on the good deal. That is a great price.
A T25 is a sub compact, not compact
Thanks for the info
Thank you for taking the time to watch.
Has the grinder continued to work well since the video? I am switching my dogs to raw also! TIA!
Still going strong. I haven't had a single problem with it yet. Raw diet is a lot of work, but it is worth the health benefits to them. They will love you more for it.
@@DevaultFamilyLivingAnd love you longer for it! Thanks so much for this video!!
@@rosewatson7163 Thank you.

Great vid, thank you! Also, the comment about the cables is right, running them the way other way is way easier
Thank you, and thanks for watching
I have a weston 22 and it works on chicken, rabbit, fish, but can't grind turkey or pork, or deer bones. Wish i could have gotten a hobart bone and meat grinder.
One of those would be nice.
Great video. Thanks
Thank you.
Which grapple did u buy. And what size.
The grapple is a claw grapple from Tar River Mfg and it is a 54". I believe that the model number is a CCG54
Never heard of the BARF diet before seeing your video. I learned what it was after 20 minutes laughing at the name
You just can't make this stuff up. LOL. Great acronym though.
Wonderful video! Have you had any jams from the hard cartilage/white slippery chunks that are on the ends of the chicken drumsticks? Or the skin getting tied around the internal parts? If not, do you think it’s because you are using a coarser grinding plate? I have Boston Terriers and they don’t chew but swallow things whole and I worry about the bone fragments that come with using a coarser plate. I don’t want their esophagus or stomach getting cut up with bone fragments. I have an LEM #32 and use the finest plate and while the bone is sand-like when you feel with your fingers, the jams of all those white plastic-like parts of the drumstick are often so I have to disassemble everything which is a huge chore in a grinder with extremely heavy parts. Let me know your thoughts on this, and thank you
I have used both plates. Never had any type of jamb what so ever. As far as bone fragments, I have never had any that would concern me with either plate. After I grind the meat, I mix all my vegetables, eggs, etc. in a tub with my bare hands. I have never felt any shards, never cut my skin, and never felt anything to be concerned with. Our English bulldog is the same when eating, or as I call it, inhaling. She chews nothing. Now I can't tell you there would never be a fragment, but I have never seen or felt one after grinding about 600 - 800 lbs of meat. I hope this helps answer your question.
@@DevaultFamilyLiving Thanks! I ordered it but the fit and finish was really bad, but the main thing is that meat backed up into the area right in front of the motor, around the rivets, in areas I needed to use a toothpick in to try and get it out, there was no gasket anywhere to keep this from happening. I found it when I removed the chute assembly to clean it. Is there any gasket in yours? I made some videos showing what happened, but putting links in here will just be removed. I ground just 4 lbs of skinless chicken legs but the bone shards were too large and ended up grinding it three times to get it down to a coarse sandy size. When I opened to clean, all those white knobby things were stuck in there, it didn't affect things yet since I only did 4 lbs, but if I had gone any longer, it would have been a problem. My LEM #32 backed up too, but with the larger assembly it took a little longer. Let me know if yours has any kind of gasket to keep meat from backing up. Thanks!
@@btpuppy2 there is no gasket to my knowledge. I am sorry that you are having these issues. I do get some particles in that area as well. Not a lot, but definitely some. I did on my old grinder as well. It can be a pain to clean. I use compressed air to blow the area out before I clean it. Definitely helps get all the particles from the crevasses. I have an air compressor where I grind the dogs food. If you don't have access to a air compressor, you can purchase small cans of compressed air (normally used for cleaning computers & keyboards). I hope this info helps.
Great video! You convinced me. Got a German Shepherd puppy. Excited to get one of these Costway meat grinder.
It has been a great grinder for sure. I don't hesitate to recommend it. For the price, it has been fantastic.
Do you have to have a certain package on your truck to operator the lights?
"To my knowledge" all of the bodyside harnesses have the wiring in them. You just have to add the proper wiring to the mirror side harness to tap into it. With that said, my truck is a "SLT" so my original mirrors had most of the features already.
I used the link you provided above and if the same grinder it is now @299 on sale!
That is fantastic. Really hard to believe something would be less then it was 2 years ago. That don't happen very often now days.
My sincere thanks for this video, and it is very cool that you are still checking in with comments 2 1/2 years later. I just couldn't pull the trigger on a $800 grinder. This was invaluable!
Your welcome. I felt the same when I was looking at buying a grinder. I'm glad that it helped. Have a great day.
Came here for the meat grinder review and stayed to the end because of that beautiful bulldog! Thanks!
Thank you. She is our pride and joy.
Great video. I see it's from 2yrs back. Is it still holding up?
It is still working great. I do need to sharpen the blades and cutting plates, but haven't gotten around to that yet.
Well done, frm South Africa😊
Thank you
You may answered this before but how long was your runtime on the 6Ah batteries?
I don't think I have ever timed it per say. I can pretty much do all my edging, weed wacking, and trim my trees on one set of batteries and have 30 percent or so left over with the aftermarket batteries used in the video. If I run Makita brand batteries, I do get longer run times. Making an educated guess, I would say you could get a solid 25-35 minutes of run time depending on which power setting you had it on and how much of a load the powerhead is under.
How fine is the bone ground?
It is pretty fine. Majority of them 5mm or less. On occasion you see one bigger, but not to often in my experience.
@@DevaultFamilyLiving Awesome. Thanks!
Can this grind turkey necks?
@@ar.8899 Did you watch the video or read the comments?
@@ar.8899 I have never personally done turkey necks, but I would speculate that this grinder would have no trouble with them.
Not sure if you still receive comments and questions a year later but was wondering if you had ever tried turkey legs and wings?
Sorry I didn’t see a reply? Can you grind turkey wings and legs successfully?
I personally have not. However I have gotten emails from people mentioning that they have had no issue with turkey.

What size grapple is that? That one you got on
It is a 54" from Tar River Implements. It is what was available from the dealer I bought the tractor from. Has been pretty decent. I have slightly bent one or two of the tines, but was able to straighten them back out.
