@paulorben68304 years ago I ve been a professional woodworker for 42 year. Kick back is deadly with any spinning blade....no matter what it mounted to. Be. Very .careful. With any exposed blade. 60
@

@cherylskates4 years ago Wow!!! I need that! I have a 16" electric chain saw. Works good, but I have caught the chain & loosened it many times. Always taking down brush & small trees. This looks so much easier to use. 11
@

@viclrice4 years ago This is one of the most impactful recommendations I’ve gleaned from YouTube! I live on 7 acres and frequently need to knock down weeds and scrub brush surrounding my manicured yard. This thing handles this better than any solution I’ve tried. Thx. ... 21
@

@GaryT19524 years ago Years ago I had a "Green Machine", latter became Shindawa. It came with a very sharp and aggressive circular saw accessory blade... similar idea as your chain blade. It worked like a charm but as yours did, had a tendency to dig in and climb or kick back. Wear heavy trousers and high leather boots...accidents happen in a split second with a blade like that. ... 28

@kjbense68723 years ago Dude you just saved my family’s summer 🙌 I live in Minnesota and when it gets overgrown with all kinds of ridiculous brush on a farm where the mower can’t get it and a gas string eater is laughable (takes forever) the mosquitoes quickly get outta hand - it’s not enjoyable to be outside - the only way is to get all that brush out - this is something I’m gonna get right now - thank you 🙌 ... 3
@

@6605eric3 years ago Thank God my wife found this. We were looking at spending a bunch of money to clear out the brush on new property. It may cost me more time but it beats the cost of a brush mower. Great video - thanks!! 2
@

@MrElPoderozo13 years ago My father in law asked me to help him trim some small trees and brush with one of this and I loved it, it works really good. 4

@dalehammond17043 years ago Thanks! I have this blade and after watching many videos on it you're the first to carefully show how to mount it. 2

@dakota-joel75904 years ago I'm actually looking to pick up a makita weed wacker and with a blade like that it opens up all sorts of opportunities. Nice vid! 10
@

@chrisnash21544 years ago Ordered one today. I have about 2/3 acre with ash, maple vines and scotchbroom that are about an inch in diameter and this looks like it will fit the bill to knock it out. 17
@

@duncan19453 years ago Brilliant, You convinced me, mine is on its way from the states to the UK.
Great video, I was wondering how to fit it to the head but you showed me exactly what to do so many thanks.
I also needed it to cut small shrubs and trees just like yours.
Great stuff ,
Thanks again

@Beachdrone3 years ago I was literally about to buy a gas trimmer over the Makita I originally wanted since I didn't think it would take a brushcutter blade, but here it is! Thank you for making this video! 4
@

@ericchin794 years ago Thank you for the info! Right to the point and you even answered my question about using an electric trimmer. I will not need to buy a chainsaw thanks to you! 2
@

@mikepurvey52054 years ago I’ve used and used up a number of the forester blades. Good stuff and can be resharpened. That said they don’t keep an edge long so you’ll need several for a days work. I’ve recently switched to the Renegade blades and they really ARE better. The carbide holds up much better than even the carbide forester blades by a huge factor. 5x? Regardless be very respectful of these blades. Chainsaw chaps are a worthwhile PPE as well as a face screen helmet. ... 19

@

@billkeefe91184 years ago Good stuff SC!
I’ve have this blade and used it on bittersweet vines and it’s better than expected since the vines like to grab other types of cutters.
I’ve also used it to trim the kids hair since the barbershop is closed, they’re recovering, they won’t need a trim for a while 🤣🤣😉 ... 21

@

@nowakezoneforever60214 years ago I bought this blade on your rec back then but wanted to wait until I tried this one against a Diablo blade before I commented. This blade is far and away better than a regular circular saw blade in every way. The learning curve is about 10 minutes to teach you which side of the blade to use. And you don’t need to swing it back and forth. Adjust your harness, make it comfortable, and have at it. If all you’re cutting are regular weeds, you don’t need this. But for clearing saplings and scrubs that haven’t been thinned in much too long, this is the best.
To the folks who ask why not use a chainsaw.... maybe for a few saplings that would be fine, but when it comes to cutting many, many saplings close to the ground do you really want to bend over with a chain saw for hours? ... 2

@GrassCutterPinoyTV4 years ago That's good idea, I think it need a lot of practice so that you are very safe 1

@

@ankurasati80379 months ago For the last 18 months I've not let the lawn crew edge or use a weed eater in my back yard. I didn't like the fact that they just kept cutting the edge of the lawn further and further from the rock lining the flower beds and leaving bare ground. And the grass was trimmed or scalped several feet around trees, etc. It was a constant battle with them so I told them to just mow and no trimming. I have Zoysia grass so it grows pretty slow. Obviously after a while it could use some trimming. I'm in my 80's so I can't do much of it myself.Finally I decided that if I could find a lightweight battery powered trimmer I might be able to do some light trimming. I decided to buy the LST201 20V trimmer. And it works great for my needs. I have back yard with about 150' of flower beds and several trees to be trimmed. I can lightly trim the whole yard with a single charge! The grass I trimmed was only a few inches high but the trimmer was more powerful than I expected. ... 20
@

@TheSilverSurfisher4 years ago Hi, can you explain that washer you put on before screwing on that nut from the trimmer? What do you mean "find yourself a washer....."? It doesn't require a specific type of washer? The blade does not come with or require a specific washer and nut? Where would we find these washers and nuts? ... 3
@

@MYTOYMAKERZ4 years ago I had seen this blade some time ago and always wondered how well they would work. But now no need to wonder any longer, Thanks to you,Cheers 4
@

@SunnyBermuda4 years ago Interesting blade! Come in handy to clear out the pine sapling overgrowth. 2
@

@MildarValsiklast year The biggest selling point to any type of weed eater brush trimming ideas id the fact thst it saves my back from having to kneel down or bend over to cut at the base. Got all the goods. Like a pole saw, chainsaw, and this is the next with just a modified circular saw blade and a good bolt. ...
@

@matteliano4542 years ago Another tip. Files only cut in the forward direction. At you are pulling the file over the teeth. This is only damaging the file, not sharpening the teeth. Steve's Small Engine Saloon has a great video on sharpening chainsaw teeth/blades. ... 1
@

@jimmieusaf-pol58184 years ago These type of blades are very efficient when cutting mostly smaller saplings, brush and vines close to the ground, but do your research before using and expect kickback or sidekick very quickly if you try and cut anything solid from the wrong side of the blade. You will figure out what the wrong side of the blade to cut with is very quickly, if you feel like you have no control over the blade. ... 15
@

@rickcormier91602 years ago I have an ECHO PAS system so I bought the ECHO PAS brush cutter a couple of weeks ago. It is still in the box though. When the blade goes out I will try this one or the Renegade. (Project Farm rated the different blades recently. I forgot his recommendations, but ECHO did poorly.)
I will only use it on very small trees out of fear of a kick back. I read that you should only cut in one direction depending on the blades cutting direction to avoid it getting out of control.
I will also make sure no one, or my dogs, are nearby. ...
@

@Mr.Studer8 months ago I ordered these for my weedwacker, exited to see what I can clear out.
I'd defiantly wear some proper steel toed boots when doing this, also to sharpen, give it about 3 strokes when sharpening each tooth, and you want to sharpen from the inside out, also not sure if those teeth have markers for the angle, but the angle is important... another thing it looks like it also has rackers, take a flat file and take each down a notch to make it bite more... I'm going to experiment when I get mine. ...

@captainlarrynosleepfishing53504 years ago Great video 👍🏻 have to order one today 👍🏻😎. Be safe 3
@

@yz56654 years ago Nice video. A technical question. All non-chain blades on a trimmer videos I've viewed used a blade conversion kit. Trimmers in those videos were powered by gas which would have higher power output. Is the blade conversion kit a nice-have or must-have? ...

@aironnoles55884 years ago Would a Cutoff blade work even though cutoff disc are primarily used for metal ?
Update : Tried a 6" Cutoffi disc and worked but taken roughly 10-15 seconds to cut an 1" tree . Maybe if the disc were a little bit bigger it would cut more effortlessly ; if a bigger blade does work better one of the advantages would be is you don't have to worry about sharpening the disc vs blades .Tried a 10" saw blade and had somewhat better results in the 10 minutes I've used it . Actually trimmed a few saplings and was able to use it as an pole saw but motor will die if you try to start off to fast , you have to squeeze throttle slowly , but that could be that I'm using to heavy of a blade . Also even the smallest of vines will stop the blade although going full throttle , stalling seems to happen less frequently . I was in the store looking at my options long time ago and the ideas were weed trimmer Bush cutter attachments , Sharpening an edger blade ( which in the future I may try this one for fun ) , and using an old lawnmower blade but so far I'm happy with my purchase , Thank You ! I tell you , you can hear that blade when it gets going real fast , has a slight whistling sound . The only problem I might would have is the blade wobbles , due to me having to use a small bolt to secure it on . I'll have to keep looking for an 3/8 bolt with an 5/8 shank or spacer of that size then that may take out the play . I will update this in the future ! Also cuts grass although the string is probably faster so you may just want to keep the string . ... 1

@JasonJayJJ14 years ago You can try pruning tall branches from the ground or even higher on a ladder. Dangerous of course, but fun. 1
@

@mattdegooyer58704 years ago How did the blade hold up as an edger? Using a chainsaw and hitting dirt dulls my saw instantly.
Thank you for always producing these great informative vids! 2

@Fabes0024 years ago Hey bro... that thingy you tightened up was a......nut. Not a bolt. 59

@Stormblessed722 years ago My grandma has 4 over grown acres and a birthday coming up next month, I could get her 501st teapot or spend the next few weekends clearing a bit of land for her that she probably thinks she'll never use again. Already ordered it ... 1

@patrickdempsey98864 years ago Really looking forward to see you edging the lawn you know like busting bubbles rap
@

@marvco644 years ago Nothing dulls a chainsaw faster than dirt and rocks. Edging a lawn is a great way to cause you to resharpen.

@

@tgsgardenmaintenance46273 years ago I bought the Husqvarna blade for my Husky 535LK. It's solid steel so a little heavy but cuts very well and easy to sharpen. However would like to try a lighter blade, apart from the one shown, any other recommendations? 1

@pammurray10283 years ago I can't seem to find the lock on the string housing to take it off so that I can put the blade on!!! Is it possible it won't come off. I have a Black and Decker battery weed eater.

@tucknedo4 years ago Can I use this on the side of my side walk to make strait line?
@

@jolkraeremeark69494 years ago Looks like you had much more control cutting from the "left" side. Would it matter which way my string trimmer spins, you could flip the circle saw - correct? 1
@

@HsingSun3 years ago @, What size of the lock nut that you used and where did you buy the washer and nut? I use bump as nut which was not working right, vibration.

@mcarey00234 years ago Looks good. I have some smaller stumps from bushes and smaller trees. Think this could be a good tool to use on them. 1

@DennisAroundtheHouse4 years ago At the end of the video you were edging a flowerbed, but it looked like you were using your regular string trimmer for that. Would you use this blade for something like edging or something other than cutting down thick brush? ... 1

@SethMethCS4 years ago Can you please recommend chelated iron powder for lawns? Lawnstar Chelated Liquid iron is $50 a gallon and has only 6% iron. Am I paying for mostly water or is there a good reason this form of chelated iron is so expensive?
Iron-Tone is powder in a 5 pound bag, cheaper with an unknown percentage of active ingredients. It looks like you’re paying for a 5 pound bag of filler ingredients with a few percent chelated iron mixed in.
There has to be a dirt cheap way to add chelated iron to lawns and gardens that the pros know about!
Can you please make a video about Chelated Iron? ...

@micheallawlor23843 years ago How has the Makita brushcutter held up? I've been thinking of getting one but this is the first time I've seen a video of someone using on something other than grass, I'd be using it with an Oregon mulcher blade on bramble mostly so it'd need to be able cope. ...

@

@tacomafan74883 years ago I use regular saw blades work just fine!!!
@

@rph2474 years ago Good video. IMHO, your kind of trimmer should be used only with line no thicker than 0.095-inch (2.4 mm), and, nothing beats a Husqvarna 300-3T ($29, 3.7 mm) brush blade (a thinner, economical alternative is an Atie 12" x 3 teeth ($13, 3 mm) heavy duty steel brush blade). I recommend these be used on large (30 cc and up) straight shaft trimmers. Have used them for the better part of last 20 years, sharpened razor thin. No problems whatsoever. The others, including a Forester, have ended in the recycle bin. Hope this helps. ...
@

@FloydBromley4 years ago So basically a circular saw on the end of a stick. Sounds pretty damn dangerous. Stay safe! 25
@

@Zomby_Woof2 years ago I can't look at this without thinking of a motor swap.
Typical string trimmers are about 500w..
But you can easily get motors that are compact and pump out 1000w, 2000w, 5000w..
And that's before you hotrod them with a custom controller.
You could easily build a unit with 10 continuous HP, peaking to 20.
It would be all fun and games until the blade grenaded. ...

@cisanch200112 years ago Can the blade be sharpen another way then the blade sharpener?
@

@JDeWittDIY4 years ago Did it cut any slower after when blade hit the dirt? That would instantly dull the blade on my chainsaw. 1

@ronjordan28313 years ago Just what I'm looking for but $450 for trimmer is a bit much for me. I'll get the blade and put on different trimmer. Thanks for the info. 1
