I was worried at first when you'd mentioned this in a previous video there'd be a risk of the chain breaking and flinging all those teeth at your ankles, but I see now they have rivetted on the rake/tooth pairs around the blade itself. Also pretty clever they offer extra strength by having the blade itself shaped into the tooth and paired next to it but a bit shorter to accommodate loss over time from use and sharpening. Great video! Thanks for sharing as always, Cody, and God bless you and yours during these times.

Try the renegade razor carbide brush cutter (also on amazon 2 pack 9" blade 68 teeth $32+s/h ). Cuts much faster and has a longer life than the forestry blade just be careful of the rocks and metal pipes. If it gets dull call your local blade sharpener and you are good to go.

I cleared overgrown properties for 15 years, a crosscut sawblade with carbide teeth meant for plywood and such was an excellent tool when combined with a trimmer. You could edge, clear land, and even grind the left behind stumps. The blades would last an average of 100 hours of use each.

Those are designed only for a perfect vertical cut so you might want to stop using that. While you've gotten by so far, it's a ticking time bomb just waiting to shatter. There not designed at all for any kind of side to side force

I would like to recommend a tip I started using: Mount BOTH the blade and the string head. Basically using the string head as the nut to secure the blade. This gives several pros 1) You don't run the blade into the ground and rocks as easy, since the head will keep the ground clearance. 2) You have both the blade and string at the ready. If you are in mostly grass, you bump the head to get string and when you get to more rough stuff, you don't bump and the string will wear down to the blade size and the blade takes over. On my trimmer the string is 400 mm (15.5 in) and the blade is only 230 mm. (9 in) so the string is much more efficient on light to medium grass. 3) The blade acts as a disc that prevents long grass spinning with the string head and build on the axel. (that why I tried doing this). I use the Stihl blade with 8 small teeths. 4) If there is a small tree in the grass that normally would kill the string, the blade snaps it in the first swipe. Saving time and string. Probably not endorsed by any machine manufacturer, but it works great. Just make sure your setup has enough thread sticking out, so the head is secure.

Same here in Australia, a normal table or circular saw blade works fine. Only thing you need to be aware of is the need to check the speed rating of the blade against the opperational RPM of your trimmer.

I have a Forrester blade exactly like that! I also happened to have an older Makita worm saw that the blade fits perfectly in the guard and the arbor, I use it for cutting pressure treated posts and oak or cedar posts , or any other thick hardwood. Also works great for cutting mill cut lumber that is still wet and a regular blade wont cut through.

I’ve had a lawn care business for years and worked for one from the time I was 16. Me and everyone I know have always used skill saw blades. You can buy 3 or more for the price of brush blades and will get more cutting for the money. I’ll use it for low hanging branches, clearing underbrush, and have even cut through some smaller trees with it when my chainsaw quit. Also once you remove that guard you’ll throw them in the trash every time you get a new one. You get more grass on you but being able to run the line longer and the weight reduction is more than worth it

We have "weedwhackers" here in Finland that come with a circular saw like that and are meant for cutting down trees up to 3ish inches. If you approach the tree from the wrong side, you can get quite a kick out of them :) but they are beasts for their job when used correctly.

I used something similar in the early 80's and it was old then, when I was a groundsman for the Alberta School for the Deaf. Instead of a circular chain cutting surface it had a solid steel blade similar to a skill saw. It worked great on grass and thick and dense weed growth, but the safety factor has to be considered. I guess that's why I didn't see them around after that and never seen them before.

Not sure I have ever had the need to take the guard off, they have a cutter to get the string length correct. What a beast of a blade.

I had a mowing business in the early 90’s, & had a chain on a disc back then. Was awesome.

Spinning time lapse shot was very cool!

While watching you put the blade on, I noticed you didn't have a cup under the nut that our FS460 has... the cup spreads the tension out over a wider surface area...

That opening is pretty artsy like it

I've had one for over 10yrs, same one, use it all the time.

That ~360 degree time lapse was great! Would love to know what system you use for that shot.

Just a heads up that the guard is extremely necessary. Obvious safety aside, there’s a couple things that it’s there for. Every inch of string past the recommended length adds around 100 degrees to the motor. Also the vibration of the strings being slightly different cause a bunch of stress on the shaft components including clutch parts and crank bearings. I’m a gold level stihl tech and have had to give several customers bad news about their units for those listed reasons. I’m not much of a commenter on KZread videos, but I thought that information would be worth sharing if it helps anyone. God bless!

I used something similar working for an old man outside of Canby around freshman year. It was hard but meditative work clearing the brush from a long stretch of fence and blasting music through some headphones. Fond memories made fonder considering the end of a hard work day was often signaled by a glass of ice water and a kiss from his granddaughter. :)

Check out the Stihl version of the forester blade. I’ve used both chainsaw tooth type blades, and the Stihl blade works far superior! It cuts VERY aggressively, has less mass so it spins up faster and doesn’t bog down, and has a wider curf, which is ideal for this type of cutting. I actually use it to trim encroaching branches back on trails. It’s harder to find the Stihl blades, though.

I spend a decent amount of time behind a brush blade. Last year I upgraded my brush machine from a tired fs110 to an fs240. With a renegade blade it doesn’t even slow down swinging thru 1-1.5” saplings and I’ve gone thru up to 5 inch stuff. I’d strongly recommend you upgrade from the shoulder strap to a full harness. Really makes a difference in comfort after an hour + of cutting. With the forrester blades just like with a chainsaw you’ll want to hit the rakers every few sharpenings. I try to keep a couple of spare blades in my bag just in case I hit something serious and destroy a blade.

On level ground I far prefer the DR trimmer with the "beaver" blade attachment. Its great for clearing jungle thick invasive buckthorn. Stihl makes a brush clearing blade that works well, but the DR is less than half the work when the ground is flat . . . about as much work as using a push lawnmower. I just carry a can of Fluid Film and give the blade a spritz every few minutes.

You forgot to put the shield that goes under the blade it keeps the debris out of the gear head. It is a wise idea to use the rider cup it protects the nut that holds the blade on. I’ve used the brush knife I have the Stihl saw blade it works okay. It doesn’t matter what you use there’s always hidden rocks you inevitably whack with the blade.

Agree with this comment. I have the Stihl circular saw blade. It works well. This one looks a little more beefy for a similar price. You should be using the shield plate, then saw blade, then convex washer then the rider cup, then the nut.

As a self identified east coast man, I use the circular saw blade for tough stuff and the tri blade for lighter brush. I was skeptical of the chainsaw ones but I’m impressed!

Thanks for sharing. Definitely getting one.
