[@herpnderpn2484]

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.

@@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.

Wow, excellent video, one of the best I have seen on KZbin. He is direct and to the point, he doesn't like to waste time talking about his long lost aunt and how it worked for her. 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.

[@DxWhoopingCrane]

Any carbide bit style blade will perform similarly. Most of these blades are shaped wildly differently for a reason, they are meant for different uses. However the carbide bit style is by far the most versatile, it will cut pretty much anything well. It loses in some applications like clearing vines, ivy and kudzu.

[@mtreis86]

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]

Michael great idea bro!

[@zuthalsoraniz6764]

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.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great video idea! Thank you!

[@armyrailguy5397]

Awesome idea. While your on the tie down theme, add to the list ropes, zip ties, ratchet tie down straps, bungee cords and of course the strings. I’m sure almost everyone will use or has used one of those items around the shop... or farm.

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 had already purchased the forester chainsaw blade and now I'm glad I did.

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)

It’d be interesting to see how hot the blades got directly after the cut, I noticed some of the wood was scorched by the blade heat. Dose the blades get hot enough to anneal the hardened metal? Thanks for such an informative video, you’re one of my favourite channels. 👍

[@Loebane]

Wood chars at 450-500 degrees or so. Normally you temper metal at around 400 after doing a quench. I imagine that at the speed the wood is charring, the metal is getting much hotter than that. It's probably annealed a bit due to the heat. If I'm wrong someone will correct me.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great point!

If not then the very least your going to brittle the metal and send a tooth or a whole chunk in to some thing if you plan to run it repeatedly year after year

A great review. I often thought a circular saw blade might make a decent brush cutter. I am using the 6 bladed model you tested and had to machine a adapter to mount it. The 6 bladed cutter works well on my heavy thick grass and small stems in my yard.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing!

[@scottmarshall6766]

I recently purchased a 25cc Husqvarna brush cutter which also comes with a string head (Large). It's a large purpose built handlebar/harness machine that you would never guess is only 25cc. It punches way over it's displacement. The included brush blade is different than the one you tested, having 4 large trapezoidal teeth. The blunt ends of the teeth make it shrug off most obstacles with zero damage, rocks, steel and even concrete remesh (like very heavy fencing) have all been hit. It came with relatively blunt (but sharpened) leading edges, which I touched up with a grinder after a couple days. The sharpening helped a little, but it worked well box stock and didn't seem to wear at all. It slices thru steel garbage cans and paint cans before you can react, leaving a slot so clean that looks like it's been cut on purpose. (I consider that a negative, but a minor one). It cuts heavy goldenrod and blackberry like crazy, with the only problem being the accumulation of cut stalks, requiring an occasional backing out to clear the pile. It cuts branches up to an inch or so well, and even has a hook built into the guard shape to hold the wood being cut, saving the operator the energy and effectively making it 'self-feeding'. It has more than justified it's $400 pricetag at the Blue Box store. Husqvarna equipment has never disappointed me, and this is no exception, it has earned itself a place next to a Husky commercial ZTR, 3 chainsaws(one is 20yrs old and never been apart) and a straight shaft trimmer. Hope this helps out a few people considering a brush cutter. I'd advise getting an actual brush cutter, they are geared, balanced and tuned differently and it makes a huge difference over a heavy grass trimmer with a brush blade. If you have any doubt, spend 3 minutes running a real brush cutter before you buy. I was shocked how much better this machine works than my commercial Husky grass straight shaft grass cutter of the same displacement (although a few years older).

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]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!

[@tonsssedell4318]

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.

Good information. I bought 2 Euro 6 blade cutters. On the first one after about a day of use three rivets that hold the blades on fell out, losing the 3 blades. On the next blade, after about an hour of use, I hit a wire in my chicken fence for about a second, it did not cut the wire. The metal in the cutting blade is so soft it curled up the blade!

[@ProjectFarm]

[@pev_]

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 :)
