Hey, chick, what's up? :-p I cannot figure out what kit from wherever will allow a circular blade to be installed on a Rigid line trimmer. Do you know? TIA! (I watched this a long time ago and looked it up again. Good video. Thanks.) (EDIT Oh, it's the cordless/battery trimmer. I will not use anything bigger than a 6" blade.)

Kind of funny. I've been using typical carbine tip skill saw type blades for well over two to three decades or longer, well before any trimmer company thought about using any blade on their trimmer offerings. And I could cut trails into hunting stands with ease. And I also made adapters to install such blades on the newer trimmers when I bought them. I have a metal lathe and turning adapters is a breeze. One thing I have discovered is the cheaper blades with the fewer carbide tips work tons better then ones with a lot of carbide tips. In other words, stay away from the expensive quality cabinet grade carbide tip blades and go for the cheaper fewer carbide tips for quicker cutting ability of woody brush and fairly large saplings. Thumbs Up!

Terriffic! You re-invented the wheel, and have kept up with the curve. Now, lets get back to what everyone comes here for, information. Also, a Skil saw is an old brand of circular saw, nothing more. They are super heavy, difficult to rip with, and come with a short cable/line in. ALL of the 7 1/4" blades fit on ALL circular saws. Skil is a collectible brand....just not the only brand.

I've been using Grass Gator for over ten years, and found it works better for most brush than any saw blade I've tried. Full body armor is advisable if you can't take a hit from rocks and sticks, but I can live with that. I initially bought the Echo kit but just wasn't impressed with it. My old SRM-210 is 18 years old and it has been really worked on our acreage. Of all the blades I've tried, the Forester blade with chainsaw teeth seems to perform the best.

I love the information that you provide in your videos🤙🤙🤙 I have tried these circular blades for the brush I cut, fortunately my landlord bought various types of blades and for our conditions the trilobe type worked way better. Shidaiwa makes one but the Oregon made one is thicker and more durable. I say the trilobe is better because it is lighter in weight, does not tax the engine while getting to optimum rpm, and can be reversed and re sharpened. I use a Shidaiwa 242 for my string work and a C35 for the blade. I'm able to chop 4 inch Spathodia ( African Tulip Trees) and 3 inch Guava ( very resilient wood) with the blade. The blade does and awesome job on California grass too. I live in Hawaii and we have 12 months of growing season so everything grows constantly.

Excellent video presentation & tutorial! I have a Shindiawa T230X trimmer/brush cutter that I purchased new in 1997, & it's one of the best outdoor power products I've ever had. I have given the trimmer basic maintenance since I've had it, but never had to do much else. I replace the trimmer gear case grease in the spring, clean the air filter. I probably should replace the spark plug, but it still works-lol! I purchased a brush blade that uses 3 chainsaw cutters placed on the perimeter of the cutting wheel, so sharpening is with a round file, like a chainsaw chain. It works great. I purchased an Echo 225 in 2017, & am basically happy with it, but the carburetor high speed jet non tamper plug was preventing adjustment (to eliminate engine bogging while opening throttle) until I removed the plug. I learned to adjust 2-cycle engine carburetors on the older chainsaws & trimmers, with high & low speed jet needle adjustment screws that could be easily reached with with a small screwdriver, before the EPA "improved" the carburetor designs. Last summer was very rainy in NW Arkansas, & I could not keep with the lawn mowing, either-lol!

@@howtogetoutofbabylon8978 I bought a brush blade for my Shindaiwa T230X trimmer a few years after I bought the trimmer, I think. The brush blade adapter hardware was included with the trimmer when I bought it, I believe. The conversion from trimmer to brush cutter was pretty easy, & the brush blade I got is basically a disk, about 10" in diameter, with 3 chainsaw cutters attached to the disk's perimeter. The attached brush blade could easily cut down a 6" diameter tree, but I haven't used the brush blade in years. If you still have the instructions for your Shindaiwa trimmer, there should be a page that shows parts & accessories (with part #'s), & on my instructions, I think the brush blade & adapter parts are shown (with part #'s). There are also online sources for parts & part listings for Shindaiwa equipment from ereplacement parts, jacks small engines, & others. I hope that helps! Good luck.

My old RedMax, probably 30 years or older, has the Schindiowa drive head. I use the large 4 cutting edge type steel cutter and use the universal bump head string head to clamp it together. In tall grass and/or soft weeds I do use the trimmer line in the head. The line tends to pull the grass/weeds into the cutter teeth for a very smooth and fast cut. For brush, I use no trimmer line, but the head serves as a glide to avoid ground contact and scalping. Too much load; you may say? Well, my heavily used RedMax and Stifhl units are old timers and run great. If I ruin them tomorrow, I could not complain; but they will not crap-out tomorrow; it seems to work just fine and dandy.

I went to my local Stihl dealer and was told that if I put something like a Forester chainsaw blade on my KM 56R, it would destroy the unit in a heartbeat because of that reason and said, basically, the shaft can't handle the stress as it's made up of a stranded steel cable vs other more expensive units that have a solid steel rod as it's drive shaft. Least to say, I was a little let down by that news.

Thankx for your informed videos !!! I have retired after 47 1/2 years working on autos and 26 years on heavy equipment. But not worked on small engine engines since 7th grade ! OOPS. I have salvaged 5 yard tractors into 2 working (sometimes) MTD & TROY built (Craftsman) mowers. But had problems all summer getting B/S 18.5 hp model 422707 engines started new air filter, new fuel and elect mag w/ good spark! Cranking over up to 30 sec. several times and then is starts and runs good for 3 plus hours mowing the yard (weeds lol) unless I run out of gas then I may have to wait hours until it cools down to get it to start again ! Ooh they are 1993 and 1994 engines I would enjoy seeing you explain it to us Older farts what I'm not finding wrong ! Let us here in SE MinnesnowTa what to do this winter to get started mowing in June/ 2022. Like your shows Pete G

So Pete, you’re saying you’re cranking for up to 30 seconds with a good spark….. that suggests to me that you may be having a carburetor issue, and on all those older Briggs and Stratton’s I would get in there with some cleaner and make sure all those passageways are cleaned out of any gum. Make sure that you don’t have gas in your carburetor float which makes the float sink, and if you do, you can get a float and needle kit with a gasket. Hope that helps..

What is your pick for best weed eater for attachments? Gas, heavy duty, working in rough areas, woods, etc. Deer huntin' stuff. Chainsaw attachment, brush blade for small saplings, tiller, etc, Thx.
