A 2-stroke (the 26cc and 52cc gas models) burns a 50:1 oil/gas pre-mix and is lighter on the shaft. A 4-cycle (the 31cc gas model) runs on straight gasoline like a lawn mower — no fuel mixing, simpler storage, lower noise and vibration — at the cost of a few extra pounds of shaft weight from the oil sump. Both deliver similar cutting power in the same displacement class; the choice is about whether you want to mix fuel or not.

Most 20V and 40V Wild Badger cordless string trimmers run 25 to 45 minutes per charge on a typical lawn, depending on grass thickness and trigger time. The 40V brushless platform delivers the longest runtime per battery and is the better fit if you cover a quarter acre or more in one session.

Only for the 2-stroke gas models (26cc and 52cc). Those run on a 50:1 oil/gas pre-mix — one tablespoon of 2-stroke oil per 16 ounces of gasoline. The 31cc 4-cycle model runs on straight gasoline (no mixing) with a separate oil sump, exactly like a lawn mower. Cordless 20V and 40V models obviously skip fuel entirely.

Auto-feed line advances trimmer line automatically as it wears down, so you do not have to stop cutting and tap the head on the ground (the "bump feed" technique on most string trimmers). The 40V 2-in-1 string trimmer and edger with auto-feed is the only Wild Badger model with this feature. It is especially useful on long sessions, sloped terrain, and tight spaces where bumping the head is awkward.

Cutting width depends on the model. The 26cc lineup (both standard and Gen2) cuts at 17 inches. The 52cc Gen2 widens to 18 inches. Cordless 20V and 40V models typically cut at 14 to 17 inches depending on the head. A wider head clears more grass per pass but draws more power and uses line faster; match the width to your yard size, not just engine size.

With the right head, yes. All Wild Badger 4-in-1 string trimmers ship with a brush cutter blade that replaces the string trimmer head. The 26cc handles 1-inch-thick stems; the 52cc handles up to 1.5-inch saplings. For pure brush work the 52cc Gen2 with its full-crank engine is the right tool — it holds RPM under load where smaller engines bog down.
