fs85, 3 prong brush blade

[WoodED]

my old fs350 and fs120 died on me (they were years old befor i aquired them) leaving me with my newer fs85, i have a small cleance job of bout half an acker of self seeded trees and brush, got my chainsaws for the trees but i want to fit a brush blade to my fs85,, any1 used an fs 85 with a brush blade,,, does it cope ok?

Is it a loop handled or cow horned fs 85?

 

It'll do the job fine......but the loop handled one will be horrible to swing around compared with the cow horned one.

sorted.....Happy brush cutting

It will do the job but may take a little longer as its not got the guts of the more powerful clearing saws. I find the 3 prong steel blade best for that sort of thing.

Id use one of these they are far better than the 3 pronged blades.

i agree with tractorboy, mulching blades we call them and they really are the dogs bits, once you used one the only thing you'll do with a 3 prong blade is practice throwing it at trees during your dinner break..........or is that just me wanting to be a ninja???????:blushing::blushing:
