Who it’s for
Homeowners who value a quiet, dependable, low-hassle petrol machine for regular grass and light growth, and are happy to pay for the best small engine. For thick brambles, step up to the 35 cc UMK 435 or a semi-pro like the Stihl FS 131.

The refined, reliable choice — Honda's GX25 4-stroke runs on pure petrol, starts every time and lasts for years. Just don't expect it to muscle through heavy brambles.
Honda UMK 425 LE — frequently asked questions
Does the Honda UMK 425 need fuel mixing?
No — the GX25 is a genuine 4-stroke that runs on pure SP95/98 petrol, so there's no oil to mix. It's quieter and cleaner than a 2-stroke.
Is it powerful enough for brambles?
At 25 cc (0.72 kW) it's modest for thick brambles and scrub. It's ideal for regular grass and light growth; for heavy clearing, look at the UMK 435 (35 cc) or a Stihl FS 131.
