      I was worried at first when you'd mentioned this in a previous video there'd be a risk of the chain breaking and flinging all those teeth at your ankles, but I see now they have rivetted on the rake/tooth pairs around the blade itself. Also pretty clever they offer extra strength by having the blade itself shaped into the tooth and paired next to it but a bit shorter to accommodate loss over time from use and sharpening. Great video! Thanks for sharing as always, Cody, and God bless you and yours during these times.

      Try the renegade razor carbide brush cutter (also on amazon 2 pack 9" blade 68 teeth $32+s/h ). Cuts much faster and has a longer life than the forestry blade just be careful of the rocks and metal pipes. If it gets dull call your local blade sharpener and you are good to go.

      With this much grass, I'd use the tri-blade thing and mow the grass first. It will mow trees up to about finger size and even when it's not sharp anymore, a wire isn't sharp either, it will still destroy grass. Afterwards take the saw blade out (I have the Stihl version) or in the woods with less/no grass take the saw immediatly.

    I cleared overgrown properties for 15 years, a crosscut sawblade with carbide teeth meant for plywood and such was an excellent tool when combined with a trimmer. You could edge, clear land, and even grind the left behind stumps. The blades would last an average of 100 hours of use each.

      Those grinder ones are sketchy af due to the way they're put together. They use an actual section of chain instead of attaching the teeth right to the blade like this one.
      When the chain breaks off it can cause severe injury or death because they're not very secure

  • @jnygaarddk
    @jnygaarddk 3 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    I would like to recommend a tip I started using: Mount BOTH the blade and the string head. Basically using the string head as the nut to secure the blade.
    This gives several pros
    1) You don't run the blade into the ground and rocks as easy, since the head will keep the ground clearance.
    2) You have both the blade and string at the ready. If you are in mostly grass, you bump the head to get string and when you get to more rough stuff, you don't bump and the string will wear down to the blade size and the blade takes over. On my trimmer the string is 400 mm (15.5 in) and the blade is only 230 mm. (9 in) so the string is much more efficient on light to medium grass.
    3) The blade acts as a disc that prevents long grass spinning with the string head and build on the axel. (that why I tried doing this). I use the Stihl blade with 8 small teeths.
    4) If there is a small tree in the grass that normally would kill the string, the blade snaps it in the first swipe. Saving time and string.
    Probably not endorsed by any machine manufacturer, but it works great. Just make sure your setup has enough thread sticking out, so the head is secure.

    I have a Forrester blade exactly like that! I also happened to have an older Makita worm saw that the blade fits perfectly in the guard and the arbor, I use it for cutting pressure treated posts and oak or cedar posts , or any other thick hardwood.
    Also works great for cutting mill cut lumber that is still wet and a regular blade wont cut through.

    I used something similar in the early 80's and it was old then, when I was a groundsman for the Alberta School for the Deaf. Instead of a circular chain cutting surface it had a solid steel blade similar to a skill saw. It worked great on grass and thick and dense weed growth, but the safety factor has to be considered. I guess that's why I didn't see them around after that and never seen them before.

    Axes are for cutting off toes and hatchets are for cutting off fingers. I know an old man who told me once that you should never in any circumstance have one of your appendages at the opposite end of a blades direction. I realize he has gloves on. And I say this with all the respect in the world for this real man. Holding a log with one hand and striking a blade right down the line is very dangerous.

    I’ve had a lawn care business for years and worked for one from the time I was 16. Me and everyone I know have always used skill saw blades. You can buy 3 or more for the price of brush blades and will get more cutting for the money. I’ll use it for low hanging branches, clearing underbrush, and have even cut through some smaller trees with it when my chainsaw quit. Also once you remove that guard you’ll throw them in the trash every time you get a new one. You get more grass on you but being able to run the line longer and the weight reduction is more than worth it

    Check out the Stihl version of the forester blade. I’ve used both chainsaw tooth type blades, and the Stihl blade works far superior! It cuts VERY aggressively, has less mass so it spins up faster and doesn’t bog down, and has a wider curf, which is ideal for this type of cutting. I actually use it to trim encroaching branches back on trails. It’s harder to find the Stihl blades, though.

      I can't imagine how the guard would help with that tool honestly. For it to "chop you" it would have to spin around toward you or kick back around 180*. So basically by the time it got around to you, the guard would be on the wrong side anyway.

      In industry we are taught that the corners of the bar are the highest risk of kick back.
      That thing is all corner....
      Kick back happens directly backwards from the point of catching and could propel the blade directly back at his legs.

      @@paulrichardspencer Think about where he is holding the device... Physics doesn't suddenly turn off when using a chainsaw.
      If the saw caught and pushed it straight back, the force would angle downward, as it's intended to by the design of the handles, and the blade would safely hit into the ground.
      For the blade to go straight back and cause damage in an area that would be covered by the guard, he would literally have both shoulders dislocated, or his arms ripped off .
      Furthermore, no, it's not a corner. Chainsaws catch on their ends because it goes around a TIGHT bend around the end of the narrow bar with a quick transition to a straight line. This blade is 9" in diameter, with NO transition. There is no corners. Circles don't have corners.
      Furthermore, when he is cutting, you can see he is using the left side of the blade which is spinning toward him, so if it did catch, it would pull the saw safely AWAY from him.
      The guard is for preventing little bits of grass and whatnot from getting on your clothes. That's it.
