Honda HHT35SUKA and HHT35SLTA The HHT35S handheld heavy-duty trimmer uses Honda’s 360-degree inclinable GX35 mini 4-stroke engine known for its low noise level, low vibration level, and ease of starting. The new engine’s oil-immersed tim- ing belt and overhead-cam (OHC) architecture makes it possible to incorporate the valve train into the oil reservoir. In addition, Honda trimmers do not require the mixing of gas and oil, which provides for greatly reduced emissions, increased efficiency, and a reduction in opportunity for operator error. The Honda trim- mer is available in 2 configurations; the HHT35SLTA with a traditional loop handle and the HHT35SUKA with a U-shaped bicycle-style handle for increased leverage and precise control.
