Best Brush Cutter Blade? Let's find out! Stihl, Husqvarna, Echo, Oregon, Renegade & Forester

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.

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.

[@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.

[@nicke1903]

I run a Husqvarna Scarlett Blade on a S270 Shindiawa, 1in (25MM) Arbor 22 Tooth. It's purpose is for Woody heavy stuff, it's not like the Husqvarna you see here it's made similar to the Oregon Blade here... It's a cutting son of a gun.

[@herpnderpn2484]

@@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.

[@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 :)

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.

[@TaraVines]

Thank you for making this! I'm going to help my mom clear her property and needed this to help me figure out what blade to get.

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome!

[@dougrankin9686]

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.

[@whitetailjedi]

Always top notch info from Project Farm! You always add valuable details that the average guy just isn't going to have the ability, skill, or equipment to gain the critical info learned from your comparisons. I appreciate the heck out of having this priceless resource to refer to when adding new gear to my inventory! Just and idea for a new video would be to do like a greatest hits series where you give your top recommendations from your comparison videos. You could have like 10 reccos a video with similar topics grouped in alphabetical order. The ultimate PROJECT FARM VIDEO ENCYCLOPEDIA! Your already KZbin royalty you just as well bump up to mythological superpower. Heck go ahead and run for president, I'll vote for ya!

Very informative and to the point. This is just what I needed as I'm looking to cut saplings in the 2 to 3" range. Looks like the Forester might be the way to go for me. Thanks so much for the info.

[@ProjectFarm]

You are welcome!

[@michaelcowling9928]

I have the Forester Blade and it works great on stuff from about 1 inch to 5 inches with my Stihl KM131R. For anything smaller than an inch I typically use a mulching blade to pulverize it into tiny bits.

I love seeing more of these comparisons that are relatable. Do you think you could test what pressure washer nozzles are most effective?

[@ProjectFarm]

Great test idea. Any suggestions on brands or other specifics related to testing them? Thanks again

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.

[@bcoit55]

@ That's exactly why don't get gas powered ones anymore I only use electric to prevent further damage Plus I make less of a mess by using less water Anything that doesn't come off with 1600 PSI of electric pressure washer I probly don't want to come off

@@bcoit55 i de-grease my cars with them so im all for the extra power lol. often times i just use a garden hose and scrub brush to wash the paint.

This is precisely why I bought the Husqvarna 535LK pro combi! Not only does it have a shed loads of power but being a combi I can switch out heads for different jobs in seconds!

[@malcolmjnbaptiste154]

Must say that this has been a very comprehensive video on the blades and their performance. Have been thinking for while which blade would be best to own. I had already purchased the forester chainsaw blade and now I'm glad I did. Also I'm very happy that I didn't purchase any other blades as this demonstration showed me that I need not purchase any other blade for my needs. Thank you Project Farm for your dedication and your level of attention paid to all of your tests. Exceptionally wonderful video. Great info.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@ndegraafndg]

All these blades minus the echo were genuinely bery impressive. They all cut and or held up way better than i expected. I currently have a stihl the same as the Husqvarna one and it almost seems to be supplied from the same manufacturer as they look identical, though i havent measured the thickness from new, works great in thick grass and can get small bush branches as well, works perfect for what i needed it for as i wont be cutting branches any bigger than 1 inch, thats what my chainsaw or pruning saw is for

I had an idea recently while visiting my local “home improvement” store. Any chance you would be willing to do a comparison of “expanding foam” products? This would include the one time use cans and the home dyi kits for multi use spray guns. Thanks

@theykilledthegiggler Try the DapTex stuff in the blue can. It's expensive and takes a long time to fully cure, but it can be cleaned up with soap and water and I've had no problems using a can 2 months after I started using it. The fancy smart straw great stuff also restarts, but you might have to cut off the end of the smart straw.

[@Moonshinedave1]

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.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@danlorett2184]

Line head, 3 or 4 tooth grass blade, and a scratch blade or chain tooth blade will let you cut anything that a trimmer could possibly cut.

[@bigj231]

@@danlorett2184 exactly. String for trimming with minimal damage, 3 point for clearing lots of grass and light brush, and the saw blade type for cutting anything that's too small to start the chainsaw for.

great video i will say i have learned over the years owning a landscaping business that different style blades work better in different types of brush as you showed here I have never really found a one blade suits all in this type of work we have 3 different types blades depending on what we will be clearing. Todd thanks so much for your dedication and hard work on these videos every week. You are awesome. Stay Safe Stay Healthy!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you very much too! You are absolutely right about having several styles of blades. I wish you good health and safety as well.

[@bluenami7520]

I agree with this comment. My trimmer came with a 3-tooth blade so I use that for brush, a small string for grass (because smaller string cuts better), and fat string for around fences, walls, anything that might damage the string. Different jobs do better with different tools.

[@kronik907]

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.

[@DaddyBeanDaddyBean]

Great video. The one with the chainsaw teeth is mildly terrifying. Suggestion. When you cut grass with the string head as the control, you then changed two variables - you changed the head, *and* removed the guard. As a general rule, the control test should be the same as the other tests to whatever degree is possible/sensible - in this case, testing the string head with the guard removed, to compare mulching and distributing clippings on an equal basis.
