    New here. I don't know of anywhere else to seek advice on this. So here we go. I volunteer for a small charity that do conservation work in the Scottish Southern Uplands. We currently have relatively low grade "strimmers". An old Hitachi grass trimmer and a newer Stihl FS70. We need to invest in a serious upgrade to tackle forests of Gorse. Our Lantra trainer recommended the Stihl 400 series because we will need the mulching blade and scratcher blade kits. The question is. What is the sort of minimum power required to saw and mulch gorse that could be 2-3 inches thick, 12 ft high and acres upon acres? I was thinking the Stihl FS 461. We don't have heap loads of cash either. So even a brand new Stihl clearing saw is a big spend for us. We are going premium brands though. Not taking a chance on cheap crap that may look good on paper. Thanks.
