Never got on with them personally, Ok for cutting in ditches etc. Flexible shaft may not like a blade. Prob need a bit more power.

Might also depend on ground conditions, are trees on the dolp?, loads of stones, uneven ground, loads of brairs/vegetation for clearing saw to get tangled on.

 

When I've done respacing SS I used a saw as doing twin stems and suckers too.

Used both saws and clearing saws on peat bog restoration jobs where cutting everything down if not to dense clearing saw is fine but usually u just get stuck in with the saw.

 

Might depend on the site and wot u prefer but it is surprising how big u can take with a clearing saw
