How to turn your weedeater into a tree eater!

Stihl FS 90 with renegade blade cuts through brush and tree branches like a knife through butter. This blade cuts through tree branches faster than my chainsaws. Traditional loppers have their place, but I need to clear over a mile of fence line and this is the perfect solution to speed up the process. This is dangerous; so, make sure you use appropriate protective gear if you try this! I do not recommend anyone try this.

Coming back to the first video this guy graced the internet with is an experience in and of itself, to watch a guy go from basically just sharing tips and tricks he knows and feels the world should know to a channel so dedicated to factually accurate, honest, and biased free test’s done on the dime of its creator is something rare to find. You are one of a kind, and the knowledge you give is irreplaceable, thank you for the edutainment.

[@ReroutedYearAD]

I figure more like a circular saw. As for what could be safer (I know it was sarcasm), poorly made explosives.

[@beyondEV]

@@ProjectFarm would recommend to replace the stihl fs 90 by a stihl km 131. lots more tools to fit and you can add the 1m extension into the shaft. i prefer the ht (minichainsaw on a stick) as it's saver and more controllable (mostly working in built up areas). the only downside is that it needs more fuel (bigger engine, some loss of energy in the couplings). (not recommended by stihl, you can also add two 1m extensions and significant power loss)

Haha I was thinking similar. But easy defense if you're attacked with one of these would be throw a coat or other material at it. Would lock and bind it up. Hey there's a test - what material does it take to stop a weedeater blade attack. Coat? Blanket? Net?

easy way to tell your spin direction: the line trimmer on the guard is to protect the guard, so your line always comes in on that side.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great point!

[@markbuckeye]

If you are willing to use this tool as shown in the video you probably already removed the guard...those are for ground level applications. They make a chain saw on a stick for this type of work.

[@jesseshort8]

Had to see where it all started. As an arborist I use a stihl pole saw quite often, that trimmer almost seems like it does just as good if not better on the smaller stuff. Pretty cool.

[@paulk5311]

yep death to tree limbs and saplings. the blade is far enough away from the body you would have to be a real dunce to cut yourself with it. i have a pole saw and the chain is far enough away from the operator there is no need for any sort of guard. besides a guard would just get in the way. wearing safety clothing and footwear is best as well. at minimum a face shield to keep things from flying into the eyes should be used.

Thanks Project Farm for your input. I just purchased an EGO 56 volt Brushcutter attachment and followed your advice and modified it with a 10 inch saw blade to replace the traditional blade it came with. Well I've got to tell you it just works a treat compared to the original blade it comes with. Just like any garden tool though you have to be very aware that it can be a dangerous tool to use and I make darn sure that anyone watching isn't that near me when I do so. Thanks once again for the demonstration and it sure makes an easy effort to my tasks at hand. Cheers from Brisbane Australia.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you

[@s00p3rman]

maybe tie a very short lanyard from the back of the trimmer to your wrist or belt. that way the blade can't come back at you if it slips out of your hands. It will tumble away from you.

[@ProjectFarm]

Joshua, Excellent suggestion! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@scootergem]

Project Farm, what the what? i don't understand what the guy meant. Anyone got a picture or a drawing. i'm considering doing this so the help would REALLY be appreciated...

[@erikcampbell9882]

I don't have a drawing but I may be able to explain. He means to attach the engine (rear) to a lanyard and secure that to his waist as a fixed point, since the trimmer is a rigid tool there's no way for it to bend/flex back and hit you since the blade will always be x-feet away from the engine and that's not moving from you at all.

[@thintruman8184]

Great safety advice there! 👍

[@johnbluebeard4355]

@@scootergem My Echo conversion kit came with a cheap but durable shoulder/waist harness with a lanyard that bolted to the weed wacker and then attached to your waist. Like Erik said, pretend the engine of the wacker is fastened to your belt buckle, and then try to touch yourself with the string trimmer end of the wacker. It can't be done. For an example of the part that bolts on to the wacker, here's the OEM Echo part--- www.amazon.com/Echo-C646000060-P021046740-SRM-260SB-SRM-231U/dp/B07MKX49PX/ref=sr_1_7?crid=QAZRWCVDAO6&dchild=1&keywords=echo+harness+for+weed+eater&qid=1586669162&sprefix=echo+harne%2Caps%2C176&sr=8-7

nice. I purchased a Stihl Weed Eater String Trimmer and put a metal blade on it like this. The main reason was so I could trim heavy brush, small trees growing without having to use the lawn mower. The trimmer came with a nice shoulder strap, but I found the model I purchased to be too heavy for me to operate, especially with a metal blade. So unfortunately I wound up having to sell it. But for a strong person, it really does an excellent job and it is much faster than having to use hedge trimmer clippers, small chain saws, pruner saw, etc.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the video idea!

[@gantmj]

Used this method to cut small cedars of a few years growth off of a railroad bed, on the sides as well as inside the tracks. 20 miles done by hand by volunteers. Now a small equipment vehicle with retrofitted mowers and weed killer sprayers can get through. This year will be the first in 12 years that anything can run the full length of rail, back to the big leagues active rail. Speeder tour rides are now being given to raise money to keep the weed killer spraying regular, so we don't see such growth shut it down again.

Wow that looks far superior to the 80 tooth Echo blade I have been using! tThose carbide tips should last a long time. Carbide (probably tungsten carbide) has a much higher cutting speed than steel and is far more abrasion resistant, but it is very hard and brittle so be careful with rocks and such. It is also a good idea to get a metal guard and change the gear head grease.

[@ProjectFarm]

It works great. Like all things, dirt can damage the blade quickly. Thank you for the suggestions on the metal guard and grease! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@lewiemcneely9143]

The Echo blade is just a scratch blade with no real set and cut to the teeth. Good for briars and buckberry bushes but not anything serious. I've got an Echo convertible with a seperate shaft for the carbide blade. Works perfectly.

[@ProjectFarm]

Lewie, Thanks for this information.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

10/4 Commander. Happy 4th!

[@jaxturner7288]

outdoorsman310 carbide can cut at slower speeds because of its hardness and ability to keep a sharp edge. Beyond that it should be’ used at a lower speed, because of its brittleness, not higher cutting speed. Maybe you mixed it up. Just gotta check out metal cut off saws. Carbide tipped blades are spun about half the speed of the standard saws.

[@charlieman330]

a chainsaw on a stick? i hope ur meaning a pole saw....? because a chainsaw on a stick would be even more of a risk

[@Pro1er]

Yes, a pole saw.

[@zerocool212121]

i gotta say its very stupid to use that in that manner, even though it makes fast work your risk went way up. if your doing work above your chest/head you really should use a pole saw. the reasons are for more control and better cuts, leaving those like that just increases the chance for bugs and disease to that tree. if that had any kickback and your standing on your tip toes with both hands where they were it could easily come right out and cut off a limb, and i highly doubt your carrying a tourniquet with ya just in case. we all make mistakes but that one your doing is one if it happens its usually a one time only thing. the pole saw would be just as fast and could double the height to your reach. that saw is way cheaper than any hospital bill, but its your choice. those blades are great but not worth sharpening if your paying someone to do it as they charge what the blade costs.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the safety precaution. I have a pole saw too and use it for the really thick branches. Most of my future work includes clearing ground-level brush. Thanks again!

There's a reason STIHL instructs people to not operate a brush blade above waist level and only sells brush blade kits for handlebar trimmers. This is beyond dangerous. IF... And it's a big if someone were to want to do this you should least buy the brush blade kit from STIHL, use the limit stop and lock but provided in that kit. Judging by how the nut torqued down in this video there wasn't even a lock nut used, which is only amplifying the dangers demonstrated in this video.

ssgharkness020147 bro I'm American just because my last name is Diaz don't mean I'm a wet back Damn bro stop be a stereotype makes you look really dumb over the internet

[@Rhodesian_FAL]

Charles Diaz Seriously Charlie... You've smoked so much K2 that it has gone in to your spinal cord. You have flat out spun clear off of this earth, and have been left with the intellectual capacity of a dead moth. Formulate real sentences and we'll talk. In the meantime why don't you leave the conversation to people that have actual knowledge to contribute.

[@OMRS1]

ssgharkness020147 looks like someone's a little bitch😂💀who did this dude die I don't think so

[@albertorodriguez7063]

great video very detailed...I just bought a pair on amazon for my husqvarna 128LD.......I just purchased land here in Alaska and my property looks inpassable..lol... want to clear all the thick brush before I start taking down some trees then I'll have to rent a backhoe..or a dozer. but these blades look great

[@ProjectFarm]

Alaska is an amazing place to live! I hope you achieve great results with these blades. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@Horishnyk]

I also tried this on my 128ld messed that shaft up on that unit in a hurry. The split drive unit just cant take it.

[@terrymaines69]

Done this back in 1992 with my fs74 and 76 my blade didn't have as many teeth thanks for reminding me love all you're channel!!! By the way I still use both weedeaters! 1992 models STIHL

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you very much!

[@tedh7543]

Thanks PF for the great idea. Honey Locust Trees are the bane of my existence on the farm we purchased about three years ago. My wife and I have been systematically killing them with Tordon. The previous landowner did nothing to control them for more than a decade and we have hundreds of them. This is a good blade to help with the complete elimination without getting too close to the tree, OUCH!

[@ProjectFarm]

Great point! I'm in the same situation as you. We've owned our small farm for 3 years and have been systematically getting rid of the honey lucust trees. Thanks again!

[@poolmotorrepairguyFL]

The Florida pool pump motor repair guy approved ! that was good info

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you very much!

[@TerrellSpivey]

I just put a blade on mines yesterday and man does it work sweetly!!

[@ProjectFarm]

Nice!

[@TerrellSpivey]

@@ProjectFarm I'm using mines to sorta clear out the small trees and brush near the creek beside my house with Hope's it will deter the dog on beavers that keep me busy tearing down dams lol smh cant stand them hard working jokers

[@Darkx1989]

so i watched every single video on this channel and landed on this gem to "end" my journey until you upload your next video, you did a tremendous Job building up this channel, greeting from Austria.

[@ProjectFarm]

Greetings! Thanks so much!

[@PooDotStinkPants]

Lol love the title, you certainly know how to prune a tree! Well done on the video.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you kindly!

[@easydoesit8857]

I was going to say this demonstration reminds me of the first time I seen a Sawzall work I said I got to have one of them went and bought a battery and a corded Sawzall wouldn't be without one I'm going to have me one of these this weekend thank you

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you

[@theoutdoorsywoman]

Time to go shopping! Been clearing out our property the hard way. Glad I came across your video!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing!

[@feelingold2995]

Might have to try one of those blades. I got me a ton of brush to clear at the farm. Great channel by the way. Keep up the awesome work.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Macros1971]

That's AMAZING! What a great way to improve your work flow.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you so much!

[@quaddad]

I had my doubts that a circular saw blade would match a chainsaw on a pole, but man that makes my pole saw look comical in comparison. May have the reconsider my method of branch cutting.

[@ProjectFarm]

It's a lot faster than my pole saw too. Please be careful.

[@charlieandrew2065]

Great vid :) I love turning my weedeaters into tree eaters!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@juanlara8582]

Nice to know he wasn’t always a channel that broke stuff to see how strong it is

[@ProjectFarm]

lol Thanks for watching.

[@Bionicbabyy]

Wow!!!! That really made a difference. I really never thought of doing this until I saw a more recent video of yours.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks!

[@ya_boi_zak5927]

Thank you for making videos, they help decide what tools to buy and I learn a bunch!

[@puppygadget3189]

Others try the same thing but fall way short of Todd’s awesome videos and content.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!!

[@mtube620]

I did this on my weedeater over 10 years ago. I didn't drill any extra holes for blade weight reduction though, good idea. I also use it to cut tall thick grass near the fence and bushes.

[@ProjectFarm]

Nice!

[@_BAD_MERC_]

Because of your video I just bought a 2 pack of these blades on eBay!

[@ProjectFarm]

Kenny, It'd be great to hear if you have good success with these blades. If you can keep them out of the dirt, they will last a long time. I've bought more of these blades since the video. They are amazing....and dangerous. Thanks for watching the video!

[@_BAD_MERC_]

Ok mine came today and went on my Stihl FS55R very easily. It goes through sapling at ground level with zero resistance. I did find that it can and will walk the blade around. I found it difficult to be fluid and kept having to correct the end of the trimmer and approach thicker material very carefully. Handlebar control would be mandatory from my experience.

[@ProjectFarm]

Kenny C, Yes, it goes through saplings quickly. I learned that I could only approach from one side or I'd experience really bad "kickback". I have a lot of fence line to clear and I can't imagine doing all of this work without the Stihl equipped with a renegade blade. I hope you have good success. Thanks for taking the time to follow up!

[@Mitalayeka]

This is good stuff your testing out, thanks for sharing man.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!
