In this episode we go over the Forester chainsaw weed eater blade. I run that blade on my Stihl FS90R and we also use my Stihl MS170 and Stihl HT56C pole pruner.

Back when I worked as a groundskeeper we had a brush blade with handlebars, shoulder sling and a beefier gear box you could really get down and mow down the underbrush. Always helped having a second person dragging the limbs and chipping as you cut so you didn’t have to slow down

@TKCL 3 года назад

Boy I wish I had someone pulling brush out! I would definitely have the handlebar version if I did this often.

@gsmiley7700 3 года назад

Always loved the big trees left in the middle of a field. Just looks like history that’s appreciated.

@TKCL 3 года назад

I definitely appreciate big trees like that, not many around anymore.

@WoodDuxWill 3 года назад

Excellent idea to clear out that scrub stuff and open up your view! And yet another “right tool for the job” example. Lol. What I like most about your 2 channels is learning things. Entertainment is great but when you learn something in the process, that’s even better!

@TKCL 3 года назад

Appreciate that!

@TKCL 3 года назад

No kidding, that tree has been around a lot longer than me and seen some things! God bless brother

@jeremiahs45 3 года назад

Something that works well for me trimming the small stuff just below ground level. A saws all with a long pruning blade. Cant wait to see under the oak tree finished

@TKCL 3 года назад

I'm excited to see that big oak cleared out too, I think it's going to be beautiful!

@SaltyMike396 3 года назад

I bought the Stihl version of that blade a few weeks ago. It works extremely well! Like a hot knife through butter up to 2". Cost about $25 (extra $15 if you need the conversion parts)

@TKCL 3 года назад

I didn't even know Stihl made one, so I bought this one on Amazon. I think it was 21 bucks, well worth it to me.

@charleswilliams8296 3 года назад

I have the STIHL version of that blade and used it to clear a overgrown ditch bank and the undergrowth in my wooded section. Worked great. For the bigger hedgerow bushes I used my 170, nifty little saw.

@TKCL 3 года назад

That's exactly what I am doing here too, brush blade for the light stuff and my 170 for the small trees.

That tree looked big before you started, but when you stood in front of it that put it in perspective. Huge!!

@DevaultFamilyLiving 3 года назад

I have used the 7" blade to clear roughly an acre and a half of land. The 7" is much lighter, and is easier on your trimmer. I originally thought I wouldn't like it as much, but found that I liked it better because it is not as heavy. So if you have concerns about the strain it puts on the gear box, I recommend using the smaller one. Plus it is a little easier on your back. Have a great day. CJ

@richscott2952 3 года назад

I had one of these 25 years ago by far the most dangerous tool in the world if there’s more than one person on the job what happens is you’re going along with your Weedwhacker chainsaw head and you get to a tree and it doesn’t cut all the way through instead it kicks back meaning the same direction is spinning and the guy standing next to you catches it in the neck it’s equivalent to standing behind someone hitting golf balls with a sickle

@TKCL 3 года назад

I can see that, luckily 99 percent of the time I work alone. I can tell you that it matters what side you cut the tree on, one side it cuts great, the other it takes off on you.

@mapex311 Год назад

For the bigger stuff like 1"+, I found you have to rev the engine high then just quickly go into it.....zzt. If you rev engine too low like you normally would a weed wacker & try to churn thru it, you lose control very quickly and it could dangerously bounce back toward you (as I'm sure you found out at 4:40) I also ended up taking off the guard because it would get caught on vines & thorns all the time which just would cause more risk trying to yank it back out. All in all tho, freakin awesome blade...it's one of the only ones that will get thru the thick stuff with relative ease.

@TKCL 3 года назад

Thanks, that's how these big oaks look in the south. Always moss, even though it's not healthy for the tree.

@samclements2834 3 года назад

Really love this, I’ve seen that oak in the background. Looking great! We use those saw blades at our hunt club, like you said for small stuff there is nothing easier, they’ll cut the bigger stuff too, but to nervous to do it too much like you said, no sense tearing up equipment.

@TKCL 3 года назад

Just aged that oak since a viewer asked me to, got 210 years old. I hope I can save that tree for as long as I'm alive!

That's a nice pole saw. I got the ht131 and man it's a beast but it's heavy after a while

@TKCL 3 года назад

I chose the homeowner version for the light weight and no more than I use it. I am a big believer in the PRO series, but not this time.

@5150cash 3 года назад

@@TKCL only reason I got the 131 was because of the metal gearbox for the saw part. I didn't like the price tag. But my local dealer said for another $65 I could upgrade to the bigger saw with the metal gears so I did. I have 5 acres here in northern California with big oak trees. I've used it more on other people's property but hey what can you say for free oak wood I'm not going to complain.

Wow that was a cheap upgrade, I would have done it too!

I have that exact tool. I've cut stuff up to 5 inches. It takes a few seconds to get all the way through. But it does really good

@TKCL 3 года назад

I can see it doing that! That big stuff I'll just grab my little chainsaw, my old weed eater doesn't need the workout. I did notice on the smaller stuff to just go ahead and hit it. It cuts right through, no point to baby it.

@outdoorswiththisguy1950 3 года назад

iv never had any luck with weed eater heads to cut brush. but iv never seen one with a chain on it like that . seemed to work ok.

@TKCL 3 года назад

It worked a lot better than the brush cutter blades I've tried in the past. No doubt it will dull with as much dirt as I hit. So it will require sharpening that could be difficult.

@dougdavis4439 3 года назад

Good review Andrew. I've been using the stihl blade and it's worked well but considering this one now to clear my property. Be careful under that oak with pushing up those smaller tree roots. Root shock can happen and over time kill that beauty if your not careful. I've unfortunately had that happen.

@TKCL 3 года назад

Yikes! I definitely don't want to hurt this tree. I'll be a little more careful. Sadly I've already cleared the small trees.

@dougdavis4439 3 года назад

@@TKCL cutting the small ones won't hurt, probably help get more nutrients to that big oak. Disturbing the soil is more of what I was talking about. I just pulled some small roots up and ran the tractor under the drip line is what I believe did the damage. Take care

@@dougdavis4439 I actually took the tractor and root rake to pull up several small trees. That's why I am worried now, I did disturb the soil.

@dougdavis4439 3 года назад

@@TKCL Fingers crossed for you Andrew. That's a beautiful old oak! Took mine about two years to show signs, they will actually die from the top down. Your soil looks different than mine, more sand and less clay, so hopefully you have that on your side. The less compaction on the roots the better.

Hey man, how does the machine perform? Is there a slight delay when the trigger is pressed to reach desire speed? I figure it would have considering the weight of the blade..

Yes a very minor delay due to weight. But once it's spinning the weight is your friend when going through thick material.

Those weedeater saw blades work awesome! I've used a couple carbide tipped blades and they go through those small saplings like a hot knife through butter! They teach you pretty quick that you have to cut on the left side of the blade, for weedeaters that spin counterclockwise. Hit a sapling with the right side and it'll sling the blade pretty quick.
