I've had my SGS Brushcutter 3 years . Great value for money . Beast of a Machine that has not let me down and with the Oregon Blade on works a treat at clearing thick Brambles ..

[@fiveminuteman]

I recently tried the brushcutter sgs blade on tough grass on the roqdside verge. It really lowers the vibrations compared to the string and oregon blade. Great bit of kit though.

[@Phookinell]

I use one on my Titan 52cc. Agree with everything you say. Tried the generic flat blades but the Oregon one is a game changer. I see now the price has gone up (May 24) but Stihl now make a very similar blade.

[@fiveminuteman]

They are superb

I use one on my 535LK and it's fantastic! The tri blade vibrates a bit but on a pro brushcutter it will probably be unstoppable! Worth every penny.

Hope you guys are well sorry i have not bern about but will have a full catch up today keep safe guys brother tyson

This blade is a beast. Using it for 2 years. It made my live much easier. Sharpening the blade helps a lot.

[@fiveminuteman]

I'll give mine a sharpen before i have another go on the brambles.👍

[@aaronboggs9719]

@@fiveminuteman what kind of sharpening stone do you use? I have whetted stones that are used forna scythe, would that be any good?

[@fiveminuteman]

@@aaronboggs9719 yer they work fine or chuck it in a vice and use an angle grinder😀

[@aaronboggs9719]

@@fiveminuteman it was a good day 😎...only thing was the washer that came with the mulcher is looking a bit worse for wear. There was a wall buried under everything and came in contact. The blade's fine but noticed it got loose on the spigot and seems to have grinded the washer down that fits inside the blade. Had a good result today no less.

[@fubar12345]

A pole hedge trimmer works really well on brambles too. Like a knife through butter, very low vibration. Good fun. Can't mulch it down as much as the blade though.

[@TTisleofmanTt]

I own a stihl fs 96 plus an fs 90 and one of these sgs trimmers which I must admit it out performs my stihls everytime.granted a bigger displacement but nothing stands in its way.am sure it's a hyundai just rebadged sgs.

[@fiveminuteman]

Think you're right on performance and rebadging.

[@hollowpoint8800]

Can't recommend this blade enough, arrived this morning and devasting on gorse bushes and thick heavy overgrown brambles 10/10

[@aaronboggs9719]

wasn't sure if it could be used on gorse but that's good to know. So much of our land has rewilded between gorse and brambles and I didn't want to burn any in case of wild habitats.

I bought the two bladed version of Oregon mulcher blade a few months back, and only got the chance to try it out a few days ago, using a Stihl FS91 four stroke trimmer. Wow! What a great tool for the thick brush! Before using it, I used the stock three bladed Stihl blade, and while it cut brush and smallest saplings fairly well, it left debris that then got in the way of advancing the blade into another swath. I also use a Renegade circular saw type blade for trees and heavier brush, and it, too, has its place. But the Oregon blade is my go to in the thick vine type brush, with occasional sapling. It has the rotating mass to swing through the thick.

[@aaronboggs9719]

My blade just arrived a couple of days ago. Today is D-day for the brambles.

[@fiveminuteman]

It's great fun smashing them to bits with that mulcher blade😉

@@fiveminuteman is there a way of fitting it without the concave cap on top? Goblins may have nicked mine.

Awesome blades them...love mine

[@fiveminuteman]

It was my first experience of using one and i was amazed.

[@Saxondog]

Your right in blipping the throttle. There is no point in keeping the revs at max. That knackers you and the machine. That SDS brushcutter is good value for your money.

[@ForViewingOnly]

There's also a 3 blade version of the Oregon mulcher blade on Amazon. I don't know which one to get... this would be my first ever petrol strimmer job in a new property.

[@fiveminuteman]

I have only tried the 2 blade so dont know how good the tri blade would be.

[@ForViewingOnly]

@@fiveminuteman Thanks. I think that maybe the 3 blade might be too heavy for smaller engine strimmers... although they do a 3mm and 4mm thick one, so the 3mm 3-blade could be as light as a 4mm 2-blade. It's all new to me, but thanks for an inspiring video!

@@fiveminuteman I have the 3-tooth version on my SGS and it's awesome

[@stuartburgess6945]

Are the SGS & the Hyundai 5200 similar machines 🤔

[@fiveminuteman]

Someone was stating that recently.

[@AreWeDust]

I've got one of the SGS strimmer. It doesn't spin until at least half throttle and full throttle feels like it could be a bit faster. Any ideas?

[@fiveminuteman]

Sounds like the clutch not engaging properly, contact SGS

[@matthewwaite7806]

Is the blade that much better than a tri blade?

[@fiveminuteman]

On brambles and saplings it's a gamechanger. Get one off Amazon.

Have you heard of a duropro brush cutter
