We have a couple of thousand feet of fence that is yearly overgrown with Thistle, Sagebrush and :censored: Scrub Oak...and where we can't get close with the tractor we have to cut it out by hand. We tried a yard trimmer that works fine on grass (a Troy-Built from Blowes), but it was totally overmatched for the fence job.
Our dealer suggests either a Husky 235fr or a Stihl fs250...with metal blades. He said the fs250 can be set up with a tri-head plastic knife thing that is supposed to work pretty well.
Anybody have any thoughts? The toughest stuff is the Sage and the Scrub Oak...both consist of bushes made up of hundreds of tough but small stems (1/4" to 3/8" dia., but tough as a bullwhip).
Thanks,
Bounty Hunter
