Not wood related but I got the first trimming on the bank done. The little Shindaiwa 350 with an Airecut blade mowed through waist high grass and briars easily. Only one bind up when I let some blackberry briars get wrapped around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I was thinking about trying one of these blades. Are they easy to sharpen? I have the one with the 3 heavy plastic blades from Stihl and the circular saw type blade. The plastic blades break relatively easy when you hit anything of decent size that’s woody.
I’ve only had them for a couple of years. I’ve never sharpened one but I can’t see it being any more difficult than a mower blade. I did bend one on a rock one time but I sure got enough use out of it before it happened to try another one. Wear eye protection and plan to get dirty with these because they create an up force and lift a lot of debris into the air. They work so well it is worth the mess. I wear a helmet with a screen.

Sounds like they are worth a try. Thanks for the feedback. I pretty much always wear my forestry helmet with my trimmer since hearing protection is comfortable and the face shield doesn’t fog up I find I end up covered with grass and weeds so it won’t be anything new to me.
