Felling Large Tree With Brush Cutter
I am demonstrating how to cut down bigger trees with a clearing saw. This is not what you would use this tool for but sometimes it is convenient.

Lol, yup
I just bought the Echo SRM 410U to clear out some overgrown areas on my property. VERY capable tool. I'd reach for the chainsaw for what you just did, but it goes to show what these things are capable of, and you definitely have the use of it mastered. Cool demo.
I had a model older than this one that I love. My sister has difficulty with tools that are too heavy and she actually loved mine and found it easy to use kzread.infoUgkx_rBCFuDW1zD6blTGhLkvAkxU657uR_lG . This is a newer model but was even lighter which she really appreciates. She enjoys it and I no longer have to go to her house to trim as she can handle it fine. Haven't used it enough to comment on the battery life but lithium batteries last longer than the old style. Being cordless makes it easy to trim the far edges of the property. The entire yard can be trimmed with one charged battery.
me: Mom i want a chainsaw! Mom: No! We have a chainsaw at home. Chainsaw at home:
Very nicely done. .. I just love your demonstrations, and how you show us the good and the bad. .. I love your channel. And I love seeing your family! Thank you for sharing.
That was interesting and a little scary. Thanks for the demonstration and the warnings! You and your brother are truly woodcutting pros.
I miss these videos at this time of year,very helpful
Thanks for posting, I've had my eyes on these for years I think I may pick one up. Having the reach to get into what I call Bach bush would be a blessing.
severe kick-back. Tx for demo.
This was an excellent tutorial on using this to cut down trees! Thank you!
Very glad you gave repeated cautions in this video. Yes very dangerous but in a dire dire situation it is good to know the skills. Thank you nice job.

Very interesting. I have used a brush cutter for cleaning over grown shrubs, pathways, but not for feeling. This looks impressive.
Hope this helps...everyoney commenting on how dangerous a clearing saw is and the kickback? Personally I feel much more comfortable using one than a chainsaw. One, just like a chainsaw they have a kickback zone which you avoid. Once you know how the saw behaves. You're set. Plus please remember they have 3 points of contact unlike a chainsaw. Your two hands, plus the harness. If your harness is fitted properly. Not hanging stupid loose. Then there's really almost no way the saw can hit you. The blade can't get near your body because it just pivots on the harness.
Cool Video, I've cut down smaller trees with a weed whacker, but I've also cut up an already down tree, about that same size with the FS 90R Weed Whacker, it's amazing the things you can do with them.
The kick back on that is deadly bro

only if you dont understand it.. its going to kick to the right when you use the front or right side of the blade, use the left side of the blade like he was doing for most of the cutting and its just a controlled pull forward, even if you need to use the right side of the blade you just need to expect the kickback and be ready for it, it only lasts as long as the saws in the tree and if youre holding the saw properly the blade physically cant reach you.. the dangers only there when working in a team and the other person gets too close.. 10ft might look plenty far and usually is but a good kick back that wasnt expected or the operator gets put off balance and you could be swinging that blade 15ft behind you in a split second

That thing is a beast! I sure could use one of those! 😮
It is propably one of the most powerful brush cutter
Never used a brush cutter but plenty of time with chain saws. That thing cut through the tree like butter!
Use to use a hydraulic version in a bucket truck, clearing right of way ,fun stuff.
I need this for bamboo! I may just buy one complete IF I can find one. $$$ 🤤The reason is that the center hub must fit snugly or there will be wobbling or slipping. All my trimmers are cheapies with line spools and I just need to start the right way
Good job getting that tree down. Have done it often.
Great demonstration of how to, and how not to. Thanks Simeon.
Expertly done!
Looks way more dangerous than a chainsaw

Antti Lukkari no I think it’s probably overall safer, but it looks easier to pinch the blade or get a kickback (though it probably won’t hurt you)
I enjoy watching you with the clearing saw, I have a Shindiawa S270 with a Scarlett 22 tooth blade and does it do a bang up job, anything 4 inch or smaller goes fast. I'm going to buy a purpose built clearing saw one of these days but for now it works
Waw ! This saw cut the tree like butter
That shows stihl power👍
Great instrucion! Thanks 👍
powerful brushcutter .Thanks for video
Thank you for the demonstration . That is an impressive tool. Dangerous also if not used correctly.

No one: Absolutely no one: Swedish people: imma cut this tree down with a weed-eater
thanks for reminding me of this tool i have a lot os small saplings to cut out of my pastures most are around 1-2 inches in diameter it will save a lot of bending with the chainsaw and the reach will help me avoid the thorny branches
Used to do that from an old poulan with mod circular saw blade back my high school days and its Mesquite tree. Just happened to do it while weedeatin.
It goes easy with soft tree like aspen. Just for lol I did this once with birch twice as big was this young aspen. It works but it's not very efficient and safe. And it takes too much time. But is fun.

I once talked to a doctor who works in an area where there are a lot of lumberjacks and she told me most "cut yourself" accidents with chainsaws she saw happen cutting thin undergrowth, not bigger trees. (cutting 8 * 2cm sticks at once). I agree brushcutter are much safer. BTW, did you ever try the Stihl "Häckselmesser" very nice for thicker grass, ferns and brambles IMO.

Ya definitely where it's thick and ya cut some and maybe don't take the time to clear, the chain can jump all over the place getting caught up in movable stems.

And a fair number of those are probably from tripping while moving from cut to cut with the saw running.
Guess in a pinch but using a clearing saw to fell that size looks riskier then just grabbing your saw or axe. Especially with a round blade on that large diameter tree. Really cool to see the clearing saws capabilities can be pushed further then it’s appropriate applications.

the real danger is the tree falling in your head, but then again, this also can happen with a chainsaw. as for the machine, you have a lot of control even with kickbacks, because the shaft pipe is so long and you get a lot of leverage from those "motorcycle" handles.
Nice video.
Great work on the tree.
interesting what model stihl are you using?
that was a mighty thick weed!!! that's what happens when you let him grow too long. also still makes chainsaws too. might want to try one out
The best clearing saw ever made.
Out of topic, but he kind of looks like Chandler from the tv show FRIENDS.
Very interesting 😁 thanks
That kick back is dangerous
Thank You. Very informative.
thank you nice job
hard work that is
Wow..so easy..
americans here compering with weedcutters, they use blades to everything. clearing saw is for wood, not weedcutters
Bravo! I'm impressed. Great video thanks
Simeon I sometimes wonder if some of the people/trolls who comment have actually watched & listen to the video?? AS always I find your videos good & instructional.

Hello hello. Thanks for your videos. You are great guys. May you please tell me brushcutting as a job exists in Sweden or forest clearing (whatever it's called). Thanks
I'll stick to my little MS 170 for brush cutting, that thing looks a little too wicked for me, especially after a long day and I'm tired.
Good
Waw , i like this demonstration , but it is dangerous too , i will give it a try though. thank boy

It gets dull fast... 350mm carbide tipped sawblade and bend teeth like on those basic ones he used.. But once you hit a bigger rock, your blade is ruined. Still, 30 bucks for a blade that may last for much much longer than the chisel blade.

Have they made one of those tree cutting things with a chain?
Nice!! Just make sure nobody else is in radius of 5 meters of the tree you can cut their legs is a split of a second.
This just makes me feel inferior with my little FS55rc haha. Just another piece of equipment I'll have to save up for now I guess. Although I believe I can run the blades on my brush cutter, I don't think anything above the triangular three blade is actually recommended. Really though, I suppose I'm not always one to follow recommendations if I know what I'm doing...

what brand and type of brush blade do you use?
Can I use a circular saw blade cut down small saplings
Cut of the spikes or fibers left so nobody gets hurt stay safe everyone
I have an echo weed eater with a brush blade attachment and that thing cant even get through a tree with an inch diameter
what was the name of this tree?
I feel like a tree that size would be safer to take down with a small axe that one might have with them for that kind of clearing work anyway.
what power is the scythe 244rx?

You did the back notch cutting wrong. You supposed to cut it higher. The tree couldve crimp your blade
Safety first 😂😂
is that a 480?
very Interesting, what Blade did you use? Its really cool!
Bravo

I cut that size of trees every day with same trimmer, nothing special. And chainsaw is cheaper 😊😊
