Trimmer Brush cutter blades tested: Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, Oregon, Renegade, Forester, Euros and BluecatELE. Blades tested on grass, 1 inch trees, 2 inch trees and 3.5 inch trees. Blade durability tested using direct impact metal and concrete and subsequent damage assessment. After experiencing damage from concrete and metal, blades tested on a 2-inch tree once again. No sponsors on the Project Farm Channel. I purchased all the blades tested and greatly appreciate the tremendous Patreon support, which helps fund the products tested.

In my late teens, many decades ago, for a couple of summers I worked for a county gardening department and it often involved using a proper gasoline-powered "brush cutter" (with a vest that it was hung from to remove hand strain). We learned then that if we had to deal with a mixed field having both woody brushes and grass, it was way better to use a proper wood-cutter-type blade to get the thick brushes and small trees out, and then use a line trimmer attachment to cut the grass, than to use any mixed type blade! We tried one or two of the mixed (advertised) blades but they were so bad in one plant type or the other that they were left on the shelf in favor of dedicated blades/line cutters. And hey, it seems the situation has not much changed :)

He went through 5 different blades and compared them from least to favorite in less than 15 minutes. He went over all of the best highlights on each one of the blades, comparing them for grass and little trees from 1 inch to 3 inches. I am a senior female widow and hate going to the store because I don't have the experience using any of these tools and I want to buy it for my son to do the job. Listening to his video gave me a great options to choose from. I was trying to find one that does both grass and 2 inch trees. But they don't make a good combination blade; so I decided on buy one best for grass, and the best for little trees. For grass, I am going to buy the Husqvara and for little trees I decided on the Forester which was the fastest and the strongest. /thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos for all of us who can't afford to hire out people to do the job.

I tend to prefer Stihl, but a win is a win. I have both. New and old. The cheap Stihl is still good, cheap Husqvarna tends to be cheap. The highs of both really are high and. Just today, used a 20 year old Stihl 029 Super to cut a bunch of wood, and an old Husqvarna 42 with a bow blade to finish. Currently, Stihl is owned by Stihl and Husqvarna is owned by AYP (American Yard Products). I would buy both.

@herpnderpn2484 4 года назад

@@Technohonk Husqvarna (mowers and saws) are AYP. Or.... More appropriately AYP is Husqvarna. They are in a sense their own brand, but it is a massive confusing cluster of Roper, Electrolux, Sears and Roebuck, and a few others. Husqvarna is not junk from what I've worked on, but it also competes in the mid range consumer market meaning it can be cheap. They also compete in the commercial stuff.... very good stuff, not junk at all. No body does cheap like MTD though. The motorcycle part is owned by KTM currently (I think). Per my earlier comment, it's actually a 50ish year old Husqvarna L65, not a 42. I like the 455 rancher as well.

Nicely done! In my area Echo and Stihl are readily available. After watching your video I’m switching to Forester. I do land management and I do alot of brushing out forested land. A chainsaw is cumbersome and overkill, whereas a trimmer with a good brush blade is much more efficient and easier to utilize. I pile the brush and later use my tractor grapple to snatch the piles to the burning area. The Echo blade I’m currently using is an 8”Echo 22T brush blade. The nice feature is that you can resharpen the teeth w/ a chainsaw file BUT bc the metal is on the soft side, the teeth dull pretty quickly especially if there’s ground contact. I’m guessing the hardness of the blade is around a 5, maybe 6. Easy to sharpen, handles 2” saplings nicely but quick to dull. I’m excited to try the Forester blade!

Product test request for you, I would like to see how different string (bailing string, hemp string, cotton clothesline, spectra, and paracord) compare to eachother. I am thinking at least a couple questions to answer; How much weight before it snaps? How easily does it burn? Does a square knot pull apart? Does it get damaged easily? A couple tests there should be easy but the damage one has me thinking. Maybe drive over the string a few times in a truck and compare the before and after weights? Maybe run one over the edge of some steel or a rock to see how quickly they fray though?

@BGTech1 4 года назад

Michael great idea bro!

@zuthalsoraniz6764 4 года назад

For testing string, I think you'd definitely want to test how well they do with shock loading too. After the test for how much weight each (with the strings being equal thickness for a fair comparison of course) can hold without snapping, use a weight that is comfortably below the one that the weakest string could hold statically, and drop it, attached to the string, from increasing heights until it snaps. Also, measuring how much they stretch before breaking in the static load test would be useful too.

@armyrailguy5397 4 года назад

We used to mow the state highways as contractors and trimming around culverts and guardrail you run into some thick stuff, my two cents is get the biggest weedeater that Stihl makes and put both a blade and string on at the same time :) worked well for us - (anything but the most powerful trimmer will not spin fast enough with both attached)

@dougrankin9686 Год назад

Great video. Very helpful. It also shows that rather than there being one superior blade, it is important to match the bade to what you are cutting. I now definitely want to get a Husqvarna blade for grass and smaller things, and either a Forrester or carbide tipped blade for saplings. I'm done with strings.

@ProjectFarm Год назад

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

@tonsssedell4318 Год назад

I suggest looking at what professionals use for clearing saw work. It's not arcane knowledge or rocket science. Carbon reinforced string works for some things and triangular blades do for others, but simple toothed sheet metal is The Solution most of the time. High quality carbide has its applications but most of the time it's steel for saplings. 8 or 9 inch aggressive sheet metal discs work wonders with 3 hp 2 stroke machines. Generic tooth designs are nice but Strand, Stihl branded equivalents, and some other Swedish designs are just a bit better. Don't bother with 4 cycle or battery when actually cutting larger saplings, and especially those weirdo Alibaba discs. That's just embarrassing. There is an established industry that just cuts through 2 inch saplings like it was air. And was for decades.

@geoffnelsen815 3 года назад

After years of using a string trimmer, I've came to the conclusion that there simply isn't no one attachment that will be good at everything. Thats why my string trimmers have detachable shafts, it only takes a few seconds to remove one and pop in another. One has line for grass and small weeds only, the second weeds to small brush, and the third of course for the bigger stuff. I also have a cultivator for weeding the garden but that is another story. Enjoyed your video.

i find the Turbo nozzels to be the most effective but they can blast the paint off your car if its chipped anywhere. also the size of the pump makes a big difference. ive got a 13hp 3600psi 4gpm and a 5hp 3000psi 2gpm washer and the 13hp is by far more powerful. that one might strip the pain off a car even if it isnt chipped.

@kronik907 4 года назад

Not a professional but I've done quite a lot of brush cutting. I ususally have one whacker set up with string for grass, and one with the Husqvarna blade. That blade has lasted for years and still works great! Most anything the Husqvarna blade can't cut is usually big enough to warrant pulling out a chainsaw anyway. I might get one of those Forrester blades for when I don't want to get out a chainsaw or need to cut something very close to the ground. But generally I think string and the Husqvarna blade are the way to go.
