It seems to me that it would be a good tool for cutting down shrubs and various vegetation without having to crawl around on the ground with a chainsaw.

So has anyone had any experience with a string trimmer equipped with a circular brush cutting blade?,....if so, how well did it work and what size engine was on the string trimmer that you outfitted with the blade?


I bought one 35 years ago. It had twin grips like a motorcycle. It was the biggest one they made. It worked great. It is not a boys toy! It can hurt you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
