Petrol Power, Cordless Convenience The Mountfield MBC 50 Li is an innovative and impressive battery-powered brushcutter from the freedom500 range, designed for those difficult trimming jobs around the garden. It delivers all the power of a petrol machine but with the convenience, lower noise, and zero emissions of cordless technology. This makes it an ideal choice for domestic gardeners looking for high performance and superb value. High-Efficiency Brushless Motor At the heart of the MBC 50 Li is a powerful 500W brushless motor, which provides superior performance, greater efficiency, and a significantly longer service life compared to traditional brushed motors. The motor is housed in robust aluminium for enhanced resistance and reliability. An intuitive electronic control panel with LEDs and a simple on/off switch makes operation safe and straightforward, while the variable speed control allows for precise energy management to suit the task at hand. Versatile Cutting System This tool is equipped to handle a variety of conditions. For everyday trimming and edging, the high-performance Bump & Work dual-line nylon head provides a generous 38cm cutting width. When faced with tougher vegetation like dense weeds or brambles, the supplied 255mm 4-tooth (4T) metal blade can be fitted to make light work of the challenge. Ergonomic Design for User Comfort Designed for comfortable operation, the MBC 50 Li features an adjustable loop handle with a soft grip, a straight shaft for excellent reach, and includes a single harness. The harness helps to distribute the tool’s weight, reducing fatigue and improving control and manoeuvrability during use. The freedom500 Battery System This brushcutter is part of the Mountfield freedom500 series, powered by STIGA’s intelligent ePower48V Lithium-Ion batteries.

Frequently Asked Questions Frequently Asked Questions What battery and charger do I need for the Mountfield MBC 50 Li? This brushcutter requires a 48V battery from the Mountfield freedom500 / STIGA ePower48V range. The recommended battery is the 4Ah model for a good balance of weight and runtime. You will also need a compatible 48V charger. Please note that the battery and charger are not included with this tool. What is the difference between the nylon head and the metal blade? The nylon line head is best for general-purpose grass trimming, tidying lawn edges, and cutting lighter weeds. The 4-tooth metal blade is designed for more demanding tasks, such as clearing dense, overgrown vegetation, thick weeds, and brambles that the nylon line cannot handle effectively. Is this brushcutter suitable for clearing thick brambles? Yes, when fitted with the included 4-tooth metal blade, the MBC 50 Li is perfectly capable of clearing thick brambles and tougher vegetation thanks to its powerful 500W brushless motor. How long does the battery last on a single charge? The typical working time with the recommended 4Ah battery is approximately 30 minutes. This can vary depending on the cutting conditions, the cutting head being used, and whether you are using the variable speed on a lower setting. Does this Mountfield brushcutter come ready to use? Yes, when you purchase from an authorised dealer like Sims Garden Machinery, the product comes fully assembled, inspected, and tested by our trained mechanics (a service known as Pre-Delivery Inspection or PDI). For local customers, we also offer a personal handover to demonstrate its features and ensure you can use it safely and confidently from the moment it arrives.
