brushcutting /strimming work ??

[Littletree]

Hi guys do you get many requests for burshcutting /strimming work in the summer months ?? .

 

Is there much of this work around for those of you that use brushcutters ??

 

I have a brushcutter ticket and am thinking of buying one to add to the list of services that I provide to help me generate more business .

 

Thanks Littletree:thumbup:

I think if you get a brushcutting job its normally a big one they are always handy to have around to.

Think alot of people who are involved in forestry management get alot of brushcutting jobs.

 

If you have a tree surgery company or work for yourself yes its worth geting one IMO

I do as much brushcutting and clearing saw work (emphasis on the latter) as I do tree work. And I don't use either a Stihl or Husky machine LOL !!

Only ever used a stihl never found anything wrong with them plus easy to get spares parts etc for but my brushcutter knkowlage is limited. sorry.

Always a handy thing to have around. I use them a lot on footpath work and the ocasional garden clearance job. The clearing saw is useful too that can tackle some trees on clearance jobs. Done 6" stems with a clearing saw. I have a Husky 345Rx fantastic bit of kit the Fx version has a short shaft and a thumb throttle. Used the Stihl Fs450 that is also brilliant.

i have used stihl and husky if i had a choice what clearing saw i would use it would be the fs 450 or 480 dont realy think u can go wrong with any off the big clearing saws

stihl fs480 is a lovely machine, loves fuel though - flat out empties its tank in 30 mins

Gotta' agree with you there, on the estates team I used to lead I inherited some Echos that the old Charge hand used to swear by. I bought a couple of Huskys and some Stihls, and the Echos outlasted them all.

After a few years, I'd reverted to Echo. Strange, as I've never really rated their saws.
