Power Through Tough Terrain with the Kress KC170.9 Commercial-Grade 60V Brush Cutter (Tool Only)

When it comes to professional landscaping, grounds maintenance or property management, nothing beats a tool that combines gas-comparable performance with cordless convenience. The Kress KC170.9 Commercial-Grade 60V Brush Cutter (Tool Only) delivers exactly that — a rugged, efficient and powerful solution for clearing dense brush, heavy weeds and overgrown vegetation without the hassles of petrol engines. 

Commercial-Level Power Without Petrol

At the heart of the KC170.9 is a commercial-grade brushless motor that delivers approximately 1.5 kW of power — roughly equivalent to a 35–45 cc petrol engine — giving you serious cutting capability across tough terrain. This makes the KC170.9 ideal for large properties, job sites and demanding clearing jobs that standard trimmers can’t handle. 

Thanks to brushless technology, you also get efficient power delivery, reduced maintenance and longer motor life compared to brushed alternatives. 

Built for Professional Workflows

The KC170.9 is engineered for professional landscapers and municipal crews with features that improve productivity, comfort and reliability:

• Quick-Load Trimmer Head: Easily reload line with a 9m spool, minimizing downtime so you stay productive. 

• Variable Speed Control: Three preset speed levels and a variable-speed trigger let you match performance to the task.

• Multi-Purpose Guard: Supports both string and blade cutting options, expanding versatility. 

• Rigid Drive Shaft & Adjustable Magnesium Tower: Provides durability and balance for long-term use. 

• LED Control Panel: Offers intuitive battery and speed monitoring at a glance. 

• IPX5 Weather Resistance: Built to withstand outdoor conditions and job site environments. 

This thoughtful feature set makes the KC170.9 a stand-out choice for heavy-duty trimming and clearing tasks where reliability and performance matter.

Versatility for Tough Jobs

Whether you’re cutting through overgrown grass, thick weeds or brush, this tool adapts with compatibility for multiple head types — including standard trimmer heads and knife blades up to 25–30cm — so you can switch tools without changing machines. 

At the same time, the ergonomic bike handle design and well-balanced layout help reduce operator fatigue — even during extended jobs. 

Tool Only — Customise Your Battery Setup

The KC170.9 is sold as a tool-only unit, meaning you have the freedom to choose the 60V battery and charger that match your workload and budget. Whether you prioritise long run times with high-capacity batteries or lighter weight for easier handling, this model slots right into the existing Kress 60V ecosystem, sharing power with other outdoor tools. 

Who Should Consider the KC170.9

This professional brush cutter is ideal for:

• Landscapers and grounds maintenance teams who need powerful, petrol-level cutting performance without the mess of fuel engines. 

• Municipal crews and property managers maintaining roadsides, parks or community spaces. 

• Commercial contractors who value cordless freedom and reduced operating costs. 

• Eco-conscious professionals who prefer quiet, emission-free operation on commercial properties.
