< 2 stroke engine and 4 stroke compared the advantages and disadvantages >
2 stroke | 4 stroke | Comment | |
Advantages | Lower price Light weight Even if the engine displacement is low, but high output | Fuel efficiency Less vibration Low noise Low emission Low speed(low fuel) even at high‐speed rotation Fuel is with gasoline Fuel is with gasoline (isn't blended-gasoline) | 4 cycle is more heavy than 2 cycle, is hard work when using a long time. If the same displacement, 2 cycle type is lighter and higher horsepower. Brush cutter is mowed at a rotational force, 2 stroke is practically. |
Disadvantages | Using blended fuel, it is easily deteriorate fuel Making the blended fuel is such a hassle | The Peak horsepower is lower *compare with 2 cycle The oil need to change and maintain Heavier body for having a large number of parts The price is higer | In my reserch,a repair cost is same between the two, is about 2,000 Php~. |
