I only prefer the 3.3 for areas of matted grasses that aren't stalky
Hey catbuster ,
That stuff looks pretty gnarly,
The thought going through my head in those situations is what lurks below the surface.You know when ya start working your way down to ground level and begin to find branches and sticks and that nylon starts to split and fray
definitely one of my wost fears on a quoted job,nothing worse than wasting valuable nylon. Although looking at the tree size hopefully there isn't anything to serious lurking down below. I would attack with the nylon first then thin the trees with a tungsten carbide tipped circular saw blade.I use a Stihl one , cant remember specs off hand but this thing is nasty.Originally started with a scratcher tooth on a fs 85 , then moved up to a Chisel tooth on a fs 480 ,then hit the holey grail with the carbide on a fs 550.(Gotta say the chisel tooth is an awesome blade but I would compare it to a chainsaw chain in that it is great out of the pack but before to long it requires constant attention)
Would be great if you could post some pics of the completed job , I love show and tell
P.S love the smiley upgrade , may have got caught up in the moment though
