That blade works great! I always enjoy watching brush come down. Good work!!
Thanks Ed! It sure did a good job, I’ve got lots more to get to haha. Now I’ve just got to chip it up and I’ll be in business. Take care Ed!
Good job Dave, those saw-chains are brutes for sure. You can grub closer to and in the ground and resarpen the teeth easily. I punctured a couple tires leaving the stubs too long and I decided to take them down to ground level because new chains are cheaper than tires and I now don't trip so much. Those stubs can hurt the body when you fall on them.
I see the goats approve of your clearing also ;-) !! Thanks for sharing and keep up the good videos, we like them.
Thank you! I sure was fun and seemed pretty easy to use. I’ll probably go back through after I clean up the brush and recut those stubs real low as well! Thanks for watching, take care :)
The only worry I have is damaging my 'engine/clutch' cable shaft inside from the abrupt hits and stress. I already previously destroyed one with an edger attachment and it wasn't pretty. I must research for replacement cables 'ON THE ENGINE end, NOT the attachment end........... If it was the attachment end, I could just buy new attachment shafts, and my Craftsman 2 stroke is a 25cc, so it should be just fine since most are using these on 21cc engines.
Yes that's definitely a problem you could have! I like this blade because I use it like a chainsaw, starting into the larger pieces slow and letting it do the cutting. If you swing into bigger brush hard you could definitely make yourself some problems. In my opinion this is a much better choice than the star blades.
Looks like it works great
Thanks Larry, it sure does! I had it out 2 days ago and went to town with it. It’s nice fore grape vines and thorn bushes! Made clearing a new road a breeze, now I just have to go down and cut the trees! Take care buddy.
That was awesome! I want one lol. Nice load of sawmill lumber too! Congrats on 400 subs buddy, you deserve it!!
Thanks CJ! It definitely worked great for me, I’ve got a lot more clearing yet to do so hopefully it will be a big time saver! I believe I’ve gotten enough rough cut now to build most of the stalls and such. Gotta start that project soon. Take care man!
That is vary effective, I need me one of them. Great video man
Thanks Pete! It sure made quick work of it, I thought it was well worth the 15 bucks! Thanks for watching buddy, take care!
Man that is neat. I’m going looking for me one.I don’t know how to add links either. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Jacky! It sure made for quick easy work on that area! Now I have to puke it all up yet and chip it haha. Thanks for watching, take care man!
Project Farm just did a review on these types of blades. I really want to try the hybrid one on all the honey suckle in my woods.
Thanks for watching Cody! Yes this thing worked awesome, definitely glad I got one. I’ll have to watch the project farm video!
Keep your RPMs up quit goosing the gas. I just keep the throttle at full speed.
Good job
Thanks Gary, I sure appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching.🤠👍
I got the Echo 225 and have the Forester blade as well. I’m going to cut down 3 big bushes in my front yard. If this won’t get it then out comes the chain saw. 🤣
I bet it will do a fine job for ya, I’ve been very pleased with it!
I purchased the blade I just need to borrow your weed eater now lol
Haha no problem, the road banks here could use some work 🤣. Thanks for watching!
Been using these blades for 6 years on 21-27 cc brushcutters, ALL WITH STRAIGHT, SPLINED-END shafts. 21 cc Echo (45 y.o.) has no trouble cutting 3" wood. Just don't ground it.
Yes this is definitely a handy attachment, makes quick work of this under brush. Thanks for watching!
That blade make it little bit easy to clear up your land and now get a drink take a break and watch the goats do they job 🐐🐐☺☺🍵☕
Thanks Richard! It sure seemed easier to me haha, yes the goats were hitting it pretty hard :) thanks for watching! Take care my friend!
This cuts great.... The only thing that is ... if one simply cuts off and leaves a bunch of stubs ,,, its like a mine field of potential danger if anyone falls on one of them, otherwise you'd have to go back again with pruners and trim the stubs again down to ground level so no one falls on one and potentially gorges themselves. ...
It does work very well, you have a good point but this was turned into a pasture where after maintaining it for a few years they basically rotted off and no longer pose that danger. Thanks for watching
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm good insight.... on someone elses video I was try to just joke around and ..... said no more football passes in that area. And called it the no dive zone..
I'd like to know how to install one of these on my old but still really good husqvarna model 128ld weedeater.plus I've got a really good old club cadet really powerful weedeater that has a triangle style blade that doesn't cut brush worth a poop at all now.but with this blade both trimmers would work great for me again now as far as brush cutting go!?
Hello Pete, they sell adapter kits for them but I had spare washers and spacer around the shop so I had used them along with the retaining nut from an old head to install this one. Works great! Thanks for watching
can you do a video on how to install it on the echo trimmer!? I have the speed feed, and it doesn't have any screws to mount the forester blade!
Thank you
Hey Danny, they sell a kit that makes the proper mount but I had just used a bit from an old head that would thread on the shaft and proper sized flat washers. Works great but isn’t the correct way to mount it! Hope that helps, I appreciate ya watching. Take care!
Yeah I could tell it was a little off center 😂
I purchased one of these but can't locate an adapter kit for my Cub Cadet SS270. I've been all over the internet and all local stores.
Hey Dale, not telling you how to do it but I had just used washers I had available in the shop. Works pretty well :)
Where can i find a 1" arbor for my echo? I bought the forester but i cant find ths fixture blade of 1" or 25mm thank you
Hanki yoo thanks for watching, I believe I had used flat washers that I used for a bushing then used bigger flats to secure the blade. Hope that helps, best of luck!
Is this blade as good as the Renegade brush cutting blade? Been thinking about getting a Echo SRM 225 gas weedeater, and a brush cut conversion kit to do brush cutting. I hear the blade that comes with the brush cut conversion kit may get dull fast.
This blade has been great for me, i like the fact of just sharpening it with my chainsaw files. It can really take down some heavy brush. Thanks for watching
Did u need an adapter to attach the blade to the shaft? It doesn't fit correctly on my echo. Fits loose. Appears I need a bushing different from the ring that came with the blade...thx
I wouldn’t say this is the right fix but I used a flat washer as a bushing and it worked for me.
What other parts do you need to get it to fit your echo weed eater?
Honestly I just used random shop parts, a couple flat washers and the captive nut from an old trimmer head! They sell adapter kits but I had this stuff laying around and it works great. Thanks for watching, hope that helps!
Can it be attached to any brush cutter apart from ECHO ?
Hey and thanks for watching! I would be pretty certain it would, it may take some spacers or washers and creative thinking but that’s how I have it fitted on here. They do sell a specific blade adapter kit for the proper install but this way works great for me :) hope that helps, take care!
I have a stihl fs 91r any issues with the internal shat not being solid steel?
I haven’t had any issues but also don’t over work it either. I take it fairly slow into the bigger stuff so I don’t overload the shaft. Thanks for watching!
I feel like electric weeder work better with this blade. Gas seems not to give a constant turn and needs too gain high speed before cutting thick stuff
I think it would have to be a heavy duty one if so, this trimmer worked great for me, as you said the bigger stuff I just let spin up for a second first and it went to town! Also I never really used more than half throttle because it just seemed that the blade was spinning wicked fast. Thanks for watching!
We’re did you get the adapter piece to it?
It was actually build with some washers and bushings I had around the shop! Seems to work great, thanks for watching!
Is it possible to ask you a question
Sure!
Is this on a Echo SRM 225?
Yup it works great! I had since put it on an older Curve shaft Stihl, what an awesome attachment! Thanks for watching, take care!
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarmI recently bought a srm-225 and for me it’s too weak to cut grass that was trimmed a week or two ago. Echo emailed back said sorry you don’t like it but that’s between you and the dealer. He told me to return it the first chance I get and I am
Great review, but you have to stay at full throttle ALL THE TIME
that blade seems a bit too heavy
Thanks for the feedback! It does seem a bit heavy but I just go slow and let it get up to speed and it works great! I got the bigger blade for the purpose of the weight and momentum. So far I have been very satisfied with it! Take care :)
Looks like he is a little afraid of it.
Haha I’m sure he is 😁, thanks for watching!
Not impressed! Cuts good for an hour. Renegade blades are way better.
Ah that’s a shame, I’ve made hundreds upon hundreds of cuts and only sharpened it once! I’ll have to check out the renegade but this one has worked perfectly for me. Thanks for watching and commenting, take care!
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm I'm making hundreds of cuts hourly clearing acreage. Renegades last a whole 8 hour day. I don't have time to sharpen the forester every hour.
Yeah I don’t use it commercially so I cannot relate but I’d say for the average homeowner, including myself it’s done more than exceed my expectations.
@@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm agreed, it's a very aggressive blade for the average homeowner.
@VoteForTRUMP I have the echo srm266s with the 25.4cc. It seems to spin 10 inch renegade dark silver blades with no effort. It took a minute but I cut through an 8 inch branch today no problem. As long as you avoid rocks and keep it out of the dirt the blade will easily last 8 hours or more cutting 1-3 inch scrub oak. I'd probably start with the 8 inch renegade blade on your smaller echo.
