Put a Sawblade on my Weedeater

Once again to the safety nannies. We get it, this isn't for you. Please don't do anything you feel is unsafe.

Definitely never use a chainsaw. Do you realize chainsaws have no guard on them and can cut thru wood? Not only that but (unlike a brushcutter) they are right in your face when you are using them.

 

If I understand correctly, you'd clear a larger swath faster with a three-tong brush blade.

I have to respond to the safety thing. I'm admittedly just a weekend warrior, but I've used my brushcutter with both the brush and wood blades for dozens of hours clearing many acres of woods and wetlands.

Guards are sold and recommended for these blades for a reason.

My guards have absolutely kept me out of harms way. More than once a stray piece of wood has been caugt in the metal guard instead of flinging at me. It's different, but consider why there are chain catchers and spiked kickback bumpers on chainsaws. They help keep things from flying at you.

YMMV, and your tolerance for risk my vary.

 

Very ingenious but then you gotta deal with a burn pile more than likely.
I’d get some goats let them fatten up from it, bbq one or 2 then sell the rest.

 

Chainsaws have safety devices. I dare you to use one without a break guard/handle, chain catcher and spiked guard. I wouldn't. For the same reason I wouldn't use my brushcutter without blade guards. If you want me to tear up my internet man card, you got it.

 

Once again to the safety nannies. We get it, this isn't for you. Please don't do anything you feel is unsafe.

 

I wish. Don't think goats can eat 5" thick woody sumac.

 

mad max

 

Dayum it

 

I'm posting for newbies who might take your advice, not for you.

 

Hopefully you are a Veteran so you can get a prosthesis from the VA

 

It's got a 6 foot stick you shouldnt ever be that close to the blade

 

@Crow_of_judgement
You need one of these

 

The whole point is limb removal.

 

I admit you win this thread with that.

 

In for the hospital trip.

My Stihl Weed wacker did not come with a guard either.

I find this a great option for trimming trees If I can reach it I can cut it .

 

I tested the silver 8" 80T and red 9" 68T yesterday. The blue blade blows them all away on heavy woody stuff. No need to bother with any of the others.
Blue: awesome. Cuts anything you put it on. The teeth on it are different than the other blades and are like a Marathon skilsaw blade--those cut awesome too.

Silver: lame. Too slow cutting. Grass or 1" twigs only.

Red: fair up to 2". That's a 2.5" hunk of blackjack oak and it was tough to cut with the red blade.

 

People saying a weed whacker should have a guard on it have obviously never worked a chainsaw for a day or two.. or, I don’t know, an axe haha. Work tools get work done. They’re also dangerous if not used correctly. It’s up to the user..

 

I assume you’re doing this work in board shorts and sandals.
