This is great 👍🏼 I’m gonna do the same thing with mine. I think I’ll mount my swinging blades on top of the saw blade though to keep them a little above the dirt 👍🏼
You might try bolts with left handed threads like the carry type weed eaters use so your blades will only tighten depends on which direction your blades are turning.
Im thinking of doing this or maybe take a lawn mower blade and just put a single blade on it like a push mower! I will come up with something im a decent fabricator! It's good to see people are doing things like this with them and making ot work cause the one i got the head is made with sharp edges were the string feeds through and it's bad for shearing the string, i just used it for about an hr considering i just got it yesterday
nice idea. these machines are so expensive $500, saw one one ebay new for $350. some people take old lawn mower and cut off front 2 wheels front end to make brush cutter
Belt drives take a lot of the abuse, actual lawnmower would probably break faster were it's directly to the shaft! Just a thought, and they bogg fairly easy like a lawn mower so it's not torquing hard at all
I doubt that belt driven low torque mower is gonna shear high temp steel and grade 8 fasteners! Do you do work like this or fabricate? Or you just comment your thoughts?

Love it!
I put a 12 in blade on an extra head, can cut 3 in trees and willow clumps
Good idea but that motor has plastic gears inside u hit something tougher ur timing gear is gonna break or jump time on u

Trim trees then mow.
😢 That looks like Dangerous work... very very very unsafe.. If piece break off 😡 from the saws blades... Says John's Rambo 😅
