Power Brush Cutter?


Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 I got a grant to purchase a brush cutter for doing woody invasives removal. I wanted to see what others have and if they are happy with them. These are the ones I am looking at.

Hi Lindsey.
We use the FS 131 (I'm pretty sure) by Stihl and have had good luck with those, so I imagine the higher power ones will work even better. We've also had better luck with the forester/chainsaw style brush blades compared the the standard blades that it usually comes with. Not sure if that's an option you have when purchasing stuff through this grant but it might be worth considering if you're going after larger stuff like buckthorn, autumn olive, etc.
Always exciting to get new equipment! Hope this is at least somewhat helpful for you.
