trail clearing technique and tools

[kenmbz]

Project farm doing steel cutting blade reviews for weed whackers.

This was the video that led me to buy the renegade, could clear grass and cut through brush too. Not the best for either, but I have both in the place where I need this blade. It is fast and I rarely need to switch to another blade type.

I think I got my moneys worth from this blade.
Put on new blade and will use this weekend.

Anyone using the Husqvarna 525LK?? Which is there version of the quick attachment weed-whacker setup.. On our echos, we found the connector to be weak. Here is Husky's.

The power unit.

Speaking with the manager at our locale stihl dealer over the weekend he said to me "they are switching there bars and chains to "special" sizes on all there saws". What a bunch of @*(^$! Stihl!

These are what is holding up my trail project. Dozens of big Ash that still have branches but are dead and brittle. Many branches already dropped, right across the trail.

OK, I got it corrected. But I do like windows.

If only we could teach trees on the woods to make windows! Certain to be a better product than Windows!

Guaranteed to open up a window to another world if it falls on your head.

This one below is my leave her alone, we all have one or two … I am pretty bold in general but this one I wouldn’t touch with a 10’ pole.

Of course not! 10' is way too short!

Throw a 200' chain over it and pull it down with a tractor!

Just give it a good bump with your bucket up high.

Its a expression, once things dry up I will... I spotted it during the winter.

Was out yesterday with a ban spanking new bug pants from LL beans and found a tick on my leg afterwards.

Imagine how many you would have had without them!

I'll be back out there today wearing Sawyer SP657 Permethrin treated pants and will report back. We started wearing clothing treated wit this chemical over 10 years ago and it works.

Downey fabric softener in the washer seems to repel ticks and chiggers from your clothes.
