Hey guys,
Gotta question, not exactly a chain saw question, the chain saw dealers and saw experts hang out here so I thought this would a good place to ask.
I've got two Sthil brushcutter (trimmers) a FS 120 and a FS 280 K.
The question is which one of those steel brush knives work the best for rough areas that have a mixture of tall grass, thick stem weeds like cockleburr, thistles, multi flora rose and small dia. woody weed trees that are under 1/2 dia. max.
I got a couple different ones now but haven't found one I'm happy with. The tri-cut poly works great for most stuff, but changing blades gets old.
I'd use a mower to do but some of these areas, but not all the stumps and rocks have been removed, so I'm kinda stuck using the cutters till we get the final clearing and clean up done.
Also, can anyone tell me why a FS 120 is so darn cold blooded and hard to start?? I had it into the dealer and was told there was nothing wrong, but this one is a pain to work with compared to other Sthil products. Once it gets going it is great, starting it has been a problem since day one.
Thanks
Larry
