Het Abram. Just heard that June 14th is the Birthday of our US Army. (245 years.) I enjoy your channel and stories. Thankful for you, Delta and every one of your vet brothers/sisters. God Bless America
Simple Life Reclaimed Thank you! It is beautiful here! I’m in North AR. It’s not as bad as I worried about. I had never lived in AR before moving. Thanks for watching!
I have heavy wooly brush to cut. I bought that Stihl blade. I used it for maybe 10 minutes and it was absolutely worthless. I’m so glad I found your video. I found and ordered them on eBay. I really appreciate this video. Thank you
Something I learned to keep in mind with these blades is they are only cutting when swung to the left not right because the blade spins counter clockwise. Also your weed wacker won't wobble or vibrate much at all if you make sure to put the blade on perfectly center. That wobble you can see in the video is a slight off center wobble.
Thank you for this great information. I will save this video in my favorite list because it is just what I need to know when I am ready to use it. Thanks again!
Good demonstration. Thank you so much. I just wonder... Can you adapt a hedge trimmer to that particular Stihl weed eater that you own? Thanks. Be well.
Great video. I’m getting ready to by a STIHL so that I can clear out a bunch of brush, saplings, brambles and vines. Thin out some trees. I spent working on the property all last summer with only a regular weed eater, pruning shears and a hatchet. I’m not gonna wear myself out this year.
Hey, we've got four German Shepherds, way to many, we also have a female like your girl. You've been through a lot I'm sure glad you've got this going for you! Thankyou for your service sir!
Thank you for this video! What you showed is pretty much what I'm needing to tackle. Maybe not as thick saplings, but much thicker (close together) brush, brambles, and some other stuff that is so intertwined you can't hardly see through it. I can't afford the fs240. I wonder if the fs131 would the job?
Wow those carbide blades are a lot better than I thought they’d be. I work at an equipment rental/repair/sales place and we have a walk-behind bush hog, doing something as extensive as you’re doing it would be worth a day rental to be able to get a whole lot done at once. I had a customer who actually preferred to rent a push mower rather than a zero turn because the push mower would take longer, it would be less rental time wasted. A zero turn would have done the job in 15 minutes and there’s a 2 hour minimum for a half day. Ideally it would be nice to have a wide riding mower or zero turn, a walk behind brush hog, and a weed eater for a large area. I guess I’ve gotten a little lazy but I love having something that will do the job faster and easier.
Lumna Acreas put me on to you. I see you are Army. You mentioned "putting down roots". This is what may have saved my Dad when he returned from Europe in '45. So far what you are doing looks good. If I see you messing up, I will give ya a nudge. Not sure you will need it, tho. Looking forward to following your adventure. Dave Terrell
How do you deal with the stumps? I've cleared a path through what was once a clear-cut so all the trees were only 1/2" to 1" in diameter and the butting was easy. The problem is that now I can't hardly walk the path from all the tiny stumps. I cut as close to the ground as possible but that means they are now impossible to see until I step on one. I've thought of a tiller but not sure it would do anything to these small rooted stumps.
Following. Seems like a lot of these UA-camrs just talk and talk these days without any vital info? Yeah so much videos out there about what I know to clear it but nothing about how to keep it clear or all the small stumps and roots left behind?
The guy at Project Farm channel mentions how he deals with the tiny stumps. Start the linked video at seven thirty-eight: ua-cam.com/video/HYOlZb2bmmU/v-deo.html Is it possible the particular blade that Project Farm uses allows for the tree to be cut closer to the ground than what you are doing? Maybe, with his blade being carbide tipped, he digs into the dirt a bit with the blade which makes it so that there is no stump?
How bout a link to buyvthe renegade blade and where did you get that counterthreaded nut and cap assembly? From sthil? how/what exactly did you buy. I love your show, but i need more specifics maybe put em in the discription..? Otherwise Great Job, exactly what I was looking for, keep up the good work!
first things first. BEAUTIFUL SABLE GSD!!! Thanks for the info. Just bought 19 acres and was looking for any alternative to begging and borrowing a brush hog.
Be careful cutting bigger stuff with that blade. Those particular blades are designed to only cut up to about a 1" diameter. You have a pretty powerful machine there and that is a pretty thin blade and trust me on this, it could shatter if you hit something just right and bound it up and I'd hate to see you or your beautiful dog get hurt. Forester makes an awesome blade that has chainsaw teeth around the edge that is designed for the smaller trees. They will lay waste to the small stuff too. I bought a 7" and a 9" both. They are very inexpensive on ebay and they are easy to sharpen. I use STIHL brush cutters, weedeaters, chainsaws, blowers and all of that stuff both at home and at my job. Heck I can even build the stuff and often have so I've got years of experience dealing with these things virtually every day at some point. The blade you are using would be alright on something like an FS-55 cutting smaller wood stems and big weeds around the house but what you are doing there is very dangerous. Stay safe and God Bless!
I knew I was going to have an interesting video from a decent guy when it started off with good music, pick up truck, old steel bridges and back woods... Appreciate you wearing the cross when out and about, our lifestyle is getting threatened by crazy new types these days.. I shall try your saw blade tip - looks good.. I have the FS-131 running the knife blade (three blades).. I feel it's too small and I've got a lot of brambles and young rogue saplings... I'll give this a try.. Your dog looks a real good friend.. Appreciate you sharing this...
I saw the sign for Greer's Ferry I have been there when I was a teenager great Bass fishing, biggest bass I ever caught was 6 lbs 22.5 inch's. and my family was going all over Arkansas and we were having va summer of travel in the south of the state of Missouri and Kansas and all over Arkansas , Dripping Springs, Booger Holler, Arkansas 6 people incl. One hound dog 🐕 blink and by it. 😏 Great video 👍👏.
@@GermanShepherdRanch Oh yeah it did , I remember that summer like it happened yesterday, but wow umm yeah it was 30 something years 😰😊 ago .😵😲 Haha 😂. But yeah , I think Delta would fetch that red cedar if you could throw it far enough 😂👍. By the way I know you can sharpen blades , it's hard to do , but the Carbide ones those I am not sure because they are coated aren't they. My Dad always sharpened all his own blades for his table saw and rotary saws so if they are not dependent on a blade coating then I would say Yes definitely.
@@GermanShepherdRanch Yeah that's what I thought , because it's like a diamond bit on a drill or on a deep core drill they are very special not just sharp but have a special diamond embedded crust if you will.??! So, yeah they are special.
@@GermanShepherdRanch I use an app called Joom you put it on your phone it's free and the products on there are very reasonably priced some are great some are cheap but they have many great items for good prices, I have gotten many great items like charging cables for my phone 2 and 3 meters long and many other things. I just checked and they have everything including the blades your looking for and some of them were like 12 to 43 dollars all different types and prices now it can take a little bit to get some but I would try one type and if it works out for you get them in bulk you could probably get a real good price on them . Joom it is called take a look and see for yourself . Hope this helps you out.
You can hack your hack a step further my friend. Get x4 D shackles and 2ft of chain, cut to equal lengths and place opposite to each other at equal distances four times, you will need to remove the back plastic guard. Then fire her up, it will destroy all grass and also will go through anything with ease up to a few inches, it will go through bigger gear but not as quick as the blade but can go through probably close to 8inch mark. Seeing as you mentioned doing 2 passes then when you go through doing smaller gear this will clear it and never have to replace string again and can also take out a lot of smaller canopy branches making mince meat of them. Probably just as well stick to the blade for bigger trunks whilst it is sharp but you could add the chains to a blade that is dull and do a quick change over for grass cutting as the chains will cover a far bigger area each pass. As for sharpening carbide blades? Yes it can be done but you want a diamond type sharpener and if you want to try then try on one blade only for practice as it is pretty easy to muck it up, otherwise it is paying which can be costly but yes they can be done
One reason you have only 3000 or so views is your intro is WAY too long. I was previewing how tos on this topic with a less than ideal connection speed (cause I live way out in the woods) and it took like FOREVER to get to the part where I could tell if it was gonna be usefull or not. You need a preamble before that intro, so people who are browsing for the right thing can see if this is the right vid for them or not. Im lucky, I had patience, and this was the one I needed, Thank you, I have subscribed, good luck keep it up.
Dan Hall It is. I moved onto my land and my hotspot stopped working. I’ve been waiting for 3 weeks for the telephone company to run me internet down here. I have lots of footage and videos ready. I’ve been really busy. Thanks for watching.
In my farm its been the contrary I found the Sthil round blade to work 100% better than the Renegade ;..which will lose lots of its teeths and be quite useless as its not as strong and powerful as the Sthil blade.🤷🏼
HAHAHAHA 😂 😱 you'll hate yourself for cutting so much that you have to pile it up to burn. And Delta says, He picked up a stick , yeah throw the stick, throw it throw it, throw the stick , throw it throw it , throw it.!!!!!
None of my business lol but I lived in Arkansas off and on most of my life lived and hunted not too far from your area and mite suggest snake boots I had allot of close calls hunting,working and clearing land. It only takes once to ruin your day. Take care
James Mcdonald I’ve tromped all over these woods for 2 years and I’ve only seen two snakes in that time. It’s good advice though. I’m really looking forward to deer season!

I bought a big skill hedge trimmer it came with a saw blade that was in the mid 90s it was a beast.
I’ve tried a bunch of their blades. They are 3x more $ and don’t work too well. Maybe I wasn’t trying the right ones?
first things first. BEAUTIFUL SABLE GSD!!! Thanks for the info. Just bought 19 acres and was looking for any alternative to begging and borrowing a brush hog.
Love the channel man
I just spray or brush on some Roundup ( glyphosate )on the stump, it will kill it completely and won't grow back. This works for big and small trees

Yes u can't use the vlades again
I'd pass on stihl, with their mediocre performance:price ratio, rather husqvarna, echo, shindaiwa, tanaka (too bad, no mo there), etc. For brushcutting stems > 1/2" try a Forester 9" chainsaw-cutter blade, easily sharpened in the field with 3/16" file unlike carbide-cutter blades., works great on a 45+ y.o. 21 cc echo; or an Oregon 12+" mulcher blade for smaller stuff, after sharpening & balancing- 27 cc Tanaka brushcutter has plenty of power. ANY brushcutter MUST have a rigid steel shaft, big "speedo cables" just won't cut it- they're for trimming. FWIW
Look better on your Stihl dealer. There are similar Stihl tools. The quality is for sure better than those bought on EBay.
plenty of demonstrations and test proving otherwise. The Renegade & Forrester blades are by far the better for clearing woody areas, not to mention they cost 1/4 of the Stihl blades.
Sorry Stihl
Mark Miller muhahaha
this looks extremely dangerous and is probably an episode on 10,000 ways to die. 🤦♂️
Kind of stupid stihl makes a blade that does the same work that just bolts up not a hack just a waste of time
That is not 60cc lol
37.7 cc
Defo not working beside this Clown no control on the scrub cutter and no safety boots.
