Any citizen who owns a brush cutter may apply. Registration begins by phone (☎051-970-3751~3) on a first-come-first-served basis starting at 10:00 a.m. on August 27. A total of 100 participants (25 per session) will be recruited. Applicants must bring their ID and their brush cutter (one per person) to the Center on the training date.

The training, which includes brush cutter management guidelines, safe usage training, and free inspections (one machine per participant), is held every year by the Agricultural Technology Center, divided into first-half and second-half sessions. The first-half session was conducted from June 10 to 11, 2025, with 62 participants who successfully completed brush cutter maintenance. Given the positive response from participating farmers, the Center is considering expanding the program.

Through this training, participants will not only learn how to properly use, inspect, and repair their brush cutters, but also extend the service life of their equipment and prevent safety accidents.”
