This is a complete guide to Mikawa landscaping equipment powered by a Kawasaki engine, designed to help landscapers make an informed decision when purchasing.
Clearing tough brush is a demanding task – you need equipment that can power through any job, for as long as it takes. A brushcutter is an essential tool for most landscape professionals; and with a huge range of options, it’s important to make the right choice when weighing up different brands.
Powered by Kawasaki equipment is made with the professional in mind. We partner with trusted manufacturers to produce equipment professional operators can rely on – for over 15 years, we have worked closely with Turkish OEM MAPAŞ A.Ş, through their brand Mikawa, to offer handheld landscaping tools you can trust.
To help you make an informed choice, and find the tool most suited to your needs, we’ve created a complete guide to Mikawa products featuring a Kawasaki engine.
Mikawa is well-respected by professionals in its home country, Turkey, and across Europe for its handheld landscaping equipment.
Mikawa’s X800 brushcutter pairs robust quality with reliable power – it’s a dependable piece of equipment for landscapers working long hours.
Designed for professional use, the brushcutter has a durable shaft made for intensive work, and includes ergonomic features, such as bicycle-style handlebars and double shoulder straps, to make long days easier. With a Kawasaki engine offering long-lasting durability, this is a machine that pairs exceptional performance with excellent long-term value.
Mikawa estimates that the X800 can easily surpass 500 hours of work – with a product guarantee of two years, allowing unlimited use, professionals can be confident that they’ll be able to work for as long as they need.

Thanks to a high-quality build and a TJ53E Kawasaki engine, the X800 can be trusted to perform when you need it. It’s one of the most popular brushcutters in Turkey, where it's highly valued for the productivity boost provided by less downtime and efficient performance.
Longevity for the X800 is also excellent, making it a worthwhile investment for businesses that need to know they can rely on their equipment long-term.

“We give a two-year warranty, and rarely have warranty issues. Due to this, we know, for example, in the Black Sea area, where they’re using the brushcutter for 8 hours at a time, that for at least two or three seasons of usage, they’re not having any problems.” Victor Mori – general manager and Chairman of MAPAŞ A.Ş |
If you’re regularly clearing large overgrown areas, you’ll benefit from a heavy-duty powerful tool like the X800.
Professional landscapers, or anyone responsible for maintaining large areas of land – such as farmers – need to know their equipment can cope with long hours of intensive work. The X800 brushcutter gives you that confidence.
All Mikawa products come with a two-year, unlimited-use warranty. The Kawasaki TJ53E engine has its own guarantee: we offer a two-year unlimited hours warranty for commercial and private use on all of our 2-stroke engines.
The next evolution of the base model, the X800 EVO is built for heavy-duty clearance. This brushcutter takes all the benefits of the X800 and adds extra durability, ideal for particularly demanding environments.

A more durable gearbox and heavy-duty steel shaft, able to withstand high-torque impacts, make the EVO model an excellent fit for professionals working in tough environments.
While the EVO shares many of the same features as the X800 – including a strong, robust harness, and reliable Kawasaki TJ53E engine – this extra durability could pay dividends for professionals who need especially heavy-duty equipment.
If you work in more intensive environments, such as coastal areas with abrasive sand and soils, or know you’ll be putting the machine through its paces with particularly long hours, the extra durability of the EVO is a worthwhile investment.
Professional landscapers often opt for the EVO, which only comes at a slightly higher cost than the base model, but offers the reassurance of knowing your equipment can handle tough environments and workloads.
The X800 EVO comes with the same two-year, unlimited-use warranty, and the engine again has a separate two-year, unlimited-use warranty.
Carve through brush on challenging, undulating terrain with the BP 260 Backpack Brushcutter. When you need extra flexibility – rather than the long reach of a straight shaft – this tool grants you the ability to work on banks, steep slopes, and other hard-to-reach areas.
Backpack-mounted with padded straps, the machine is comfortable to use, with even weight distribution and anti-vibration technology. Professionals can expect reliable performance through dense brush and extensive use without added fatigue.

Working in tight spaces or on steep slopes can make the traditional brushcutter design impractical. The structure of a backpack brushcutter allows you to move around obstacles and awkward angles with ease.
Combined with commercial-grade durability and ergonomic design, this is a machine made for professionals working in challenging environments.
Professionals working in areas with difficult terrain, such as mountainous regions, will benefit from the extra flexibility of the backpack brushcutter; this model is particularly popular in Turkey and Italy for this reason.
If you’re working in landscape and garden maintenance, or often have to carry out extensive grass, brush, weed and shrub clearing in challenging areas, the BP 260 offers a high performance solution.
Mikawa offer a two-year, unlimited hours warranty on all equipment. Like the X800 and X800 EVO, the BP 260 features a powerful TJ53E Kawasaki engine, and comes with the same two-year, unlimited-use engine warranty.
Besides their brushcutter range, Mikawa also offer a powerful earth auger for professionals. Powered by the TJ53E and featuring heavy-duty components, this piece of machinery can assist with everything from building fences to creating irrigation trenches.

All four of these machines are powered by our most powerful two-stroke engine, the TJ53E. Delivering exceptional performance, the TJ53E is trusted by landscapers across Europe.
It’s compact, lightweight, and fuel efficient, but has the fuel tank capacity, durability and power you need to complete your work effectively.

“We don't have serious technical issues, which gives the dealers this confidence that they can sell Kawasaki to anyone, to each segment of customer, because they know that the product won’t break down quickly or easily." Victor Mori – general manager and Chairman of MAPAŞ A.Ş |
While our KAR Starter offers a smooth start, you can opt for a Mikawa tool with an even easier starting option, featuring our Light Pull Recoil starter (LPR). This offers even lower effort starting, good for long days and frequent use, reducing the risk of shoulder injury in the long-term.
