[QUOTE="ironman_gq, post: 6274015, member: 27462"] A dedicated brush cutter or clearing saw is designed to do this work all day everyday. The gearbox, shaft, clutch, engine and handles are quite a bit more robust than a trimmer/burshcutter. For most people a large bike handled trimmer with a solid driveshaft and the appropriate guards and harness is more than adequate as a brushcutter. I do recommend having a carbide blade and a tri-wing on hand for clearing. The carbide handles the woody stuff and doesn't need to be sharpened, the tri-wing works very well for the rasberry, grass and other similar non-woody stuff that tends to choke a blade. [/QUOTE]
