ELDERLY CLIENT LOST HER BACKYARD TO BLACKBERRIES!! Stihl FS-240 Brush Cutter

[@peteacher52]

Wow! That's not a back yard. It's a farmlet! Yours was an impressive display of strength and stamina as well as showing the capabilities of the brush cutter. May your business flourish.

Awesome. I bought a commercial Lawn Boy (2 cyl.), commercial, self-propelled mower for this type of mowing and still have it. You didn't have to worry about engine lubrication on the slopes since the oil was in the gas. It would have been great for the final touch on this yard after your brush cutting. Thank you for sharing.

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Thats a very interesting mower, is it meant to mulch up thicker stuff? Thanks Daniel!

[@SavannahDan]

@@golovinpropertyservices Nope. It's a regular gas motor (albeit it is the commercial version). The Oregon blade you're using is doing a great job. I've ordered one for some of the work I have to do.

Omg …. That was an almost complete takeover by the blackberries. David, even before the battery died, that job must have taken most of the day to do. In some parts, the plants towered over you! Would a mulching mower be used afterwards? An awful lot of sticks covering the yard….Nice work, take care❣️

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Thanks Lina! Unfortunately, a mulching mower wouldn't be a good idea here. The terrain is just so uneven and steep that there really are no options apart from a handheld piece of equipment for the general area.

That was a petrol brush cutter. Yes it was well overgrown and cleared by a petrol brush cutter. Because no Battery operated piece of shit. Would not have made the slightest dent in that. All I heard was the sound of a two stroke petrol brush cutter. precisely what battery has died, here. Because no battery operated machine would have made any kind of dent in that

@@richardharries5825been using stihl battery brush cutters for past 2 years and they are even better than the petrol equivalent fs130. 30 minute run time and only takes 30 minutes to charge. Only 2 batteries ever needed. Same battery in msa 220 chainsaw and is equivalent to my old petrol ms260 farm boss. Never would have thought so but so much better than the petrol stihl!

[@lulunz6809]

@@golovinpropertyservices Seems like spraying the new shoots is the only way and it will have to be systemic I guess? At least its all been levelled now because it would be a heck of a mess to try to spray it when its grown like it was. I am so impressed by what you did. Some of it was much taller than you! You aren't afraid of hard work. Go well.

[@golovinpropertyservices]

@@lulunz6809 Thats exactly the way to go, if you wait for the new shoots it will tell you exactly where you need to spray and it will also save you time and money. Spraying what was there before would have just been a waste of time. We will see what happens here in the next couple of weeks.

[@nom5205]

i would like to see the cutter/blade that you use...?

I can see why, there is no way anyone could cut the grass on a slope that steep and the bad thing about this is, even if you cut the Blackberries they come right back, which is what Nature intended them to do.

[@barryvangerbig7290]

Can you tell me how many of the Oregon blades you went through for the job once they got duller from hitting dirt, etc. ??? Thanks. Obviously, you can sharpen them after, but I have an area of similar length & width/height on Whidbey Island I need to deal with. The main section is along about 250 of vinyl fencing, as the neighbor has let it grow way up & over the fence, back & forth. It started on our side, though, long before we bought the property... Himalayan Blackberries...

[@golovinpropertyservices]

Hey Barry, I only used 2 Oregon blades. I could have just used 1, but I noticed a huge difference once the blade got dull. Dirt won’t do much damage too it. You have to watch out for rocks and always be careful to not rush hitting the ground with it. It’s best to do this on a sunny day and start with an area that has more light. That way you can see any objects that can kill the blade. Hello from Marysville!

[@shirleyparr5743]
