I have what by these forums will be a minor job but big enough for me of cutting down and disposing of small trees perhaps up to 2 1/2 inch trunks and some brush. About an acre worth on a wet somewhat rocky hillside to stop it getting out of hand. I can't (dare not) get the tractor in there but will use a DR cutter where I can.
So I'm going to get a clearing saw or higher end brush cutter. Looking at alternatives to Stihl and Husky to keep the price down. I had decided on a Tanaka TBC-600 @ $670 but the order was rejected because that model has been discontinued. No replacement yet announced. I am looking on ebay if something there might work out.
If I buy new does anyone have experience using the Shindaiwa C344 with a 34cc hybrid 4 engine. The price looks attractive at around $440 and there is a local dealer. Will it be strong enough to not struggle doing the kind of maintenance I'm looking to do?
