Bramble mulching

[Badgermert]

2 tooth Oregon blade will do a good job but it depends on the size of the brush cutter you have? Our blades on a 35cc will easily destroy a 1" sapling (bigger if you take your time and dont mind the pain or danger) but even in chainsaw kit it does hurt when a chunk gets you:thumbdown:

Compact tractors/skid streers or pedestian flail mowers are great if you've got the room.

the last lot i had to do while clearing tree belts we found just a normal hand held hedge trimmer the quickest and easiest. chopped it up nicely

Thanks for your replys, like the two and three prong brush cutter blades. There is about 5ha to clear most of it we can do with the tractor scrub mower but a few areas are just too steep for machinery without damaging the ground

I am clearing a garden at the weekend, it is completely overgrown - bramble, young saplings, nettles and all sorts; no one has touched it in years. I looked on the internet at what I could get to go on my brushcutter (Echo SRM330) and found a blade called the Weedwakka.

 

It seems the Weedwakka comes in two versions, the heavy duty model for smashing up bramble etc, and a multicut model for cutting grass. The marketing blurb claims that with these two tools you will never need to buy nylon line ever again. Hallelujah - I like that!

 

It is manufactured in Australia and available in the UK through a company named GlobeMall. I had trouble finding a retailer in my area so I phoned the UK importer - he is very generously sending me a Weedwakka to try, for free, which is very decent of him indeed.

 

I will be using the heavy duty variant this coming Saturday so I'll let you know how it performs, but if the marketing is to be believed then it looks like the Weedwakka could be the blade you are looking for.

 

Best wishes and I'll post again when I have tried the Weedwakka myself, and will give you my honest impression of it.

 

Sincerely,

Chris
