yep, i've got one of these on the 18v X 2 Makita head, and use it to trim Olive trees. it'll go through 1/4 branches no problem. but i came here wondering about grass, as i need to clear tall grass and thistle on one of my properties. and you just answered that. thx!
Seems like this thing is a sickle bar mower on a stick, which is something that uniquely matches my property size - too small to need a sickle bar mower on my tractor, but too large for the string trimmer or bush blade. Can this cut through saplings and first or second year tree suckers? One-two finger thickness stuff. I sure like the various attachments they make for the split-shaft power unit. I've got the 36v and love it.
So I ended up getting one of these and another in a half length version and answered my own question: Yes, it will cut saplings up to about an inch thick. What a lifesaver, this is very easy to use compared to a circular brush blade in my application. I imagine it'll really use up batteries on an 18v, it does decent on my 36v and I bet the 40v version is the best of them all with this tool. Do yourself a favor and buy the harness, it makes it much easier to cut down slopes and weird angles.
I really don't need the 40 volt here. The 40 volt is over kill and a waste of $$. Yep I may need to carry a couple of power packs with me depending on the job. Keep in mind that you don't have the unit running all the time like a gas powered unit. The most important thing your not mixing gas and oil and don't have that noise. Please do let me know how it works and I'm glad the video gave you some ideas .

I’ve been contemplating this attachment and your demo has convinced me I need it. Thanks
Cool, I'm very impressed with the many projects that we can do with this trimmer. I know you will like.
