I didn't realize so many people asked so many trimmer questions in this section of the site. So here goes.
Anyone tried one of those carbide tipped saw blades for brush and how do you like it. ??
I have been thinking about getting one or two of these blades for my clearing saws. I normally use one of those tri-cut blades and I am very happy with it. In the past I have tried those plain steel toothed saw blades and didn't care for them at all . The tri-cut is much better to me than a saw blade but would like to see if a carbide blade would let me cut bigger diameter stems and multi - stemmed clump type brush like Honey suckle.
I have the right kind of clearing saws and harnesses to handle a blade like that but I'll be honest I take those guards off because they catch and cause more problems when your working in thick stuff.
Safety is kind of a concern but what I really need to know if they dull quick because I like to cut things right down to ground level for future mowing of an area I am planning to cut which is a fence row I did years ago but has grown back and some of this stuff is a little too big for my Bachtold mower and I really don't want to bushhog it till I do another cutting.
So what is the verdict on these blades. Are they as great as some people say they are???
