Put a Sawblade on my Weedeater

Your arms look thicker than the sapling, should be able to snap it up bare handed


I have a Stihl 130 w/handle bars & harness. Thanks for heads up on the blue blade

 

I worked in a Christmas tree farm from ages 13-18, and this is how we'd harvest the trees in the fall. Usually takes 5 people: 1st one flags the tree, 2nd person props up the bottom limbs with a long stick, 3rd person uses the weed whacker with saw blade to cut the tree, and 4th & 5th people drag the trees out to the roadway. Theres a whole separate team bailing, then another for loading the flatbed.

Those sawblades will zip through a 8 foot tree in about a second or two. We could harvest hundreds of trees in one weekend.

 

I hoped the videos gave a good idea of how effortlessly this thing cuts. I'm still amazed with it every time I've used it and I probably have cut hundreds of saplings with it.

I did have some carbide teeth come off the blade but it still cut fair and as much as I cut with it I feel like I got my money's worth.

Ordered a 9" blue blade for the next go round but haven't mounted it. The 9" doesn't have holes in it like the 8".

That is badass! Infinitely more safe than a chainsaw. It’s at the end of a long ass pole!

I can’t believe how fast that cuts!

Sumac. Once you cut it, game over for the plant? Or does the root still send up shoots?

 

Sumac can regrow

 

Yeah my Sumac grove has a huge network of roots. I thought about drilling some of the bigger roots and pouring brushkiller in it. It will stay down if you keep it mowed regularly.

 

This is kinda scary but awesome

 

The scariest part of this thread is a plant that’s difficult to eradicate.

 

Definitely the easiest way to deal with it unless you want to do some digging. I get it a garlon mix from work that kills about anything
