I wasn't trying to convince it's grvity fed. For that you'll have to spend more money on a bigger unit. It's not gravity that draws a branch in, it's the blades as they spin pulling it in. Really the only stuff I push in are little skinny branches because they get sliced so easily the blades dont have a chance to grab and pull them in. Larger branches get pulled in sometimes forcibly (and fast) and my hand is only on the branch to catch it if needed or steady it so it doesn't jerk around and damage the machine. You wouldnt know unless you tried it yourself as the videos don't give the viewer the feeling.

@@narrowpathjourney bought one :)

Ouch! Yeah, gloves and good footwear are a must. I have worn sandals and no gloves but its really not the safest. My husband was doing it in sandals and then went to put shoes on and ended up slicing the tip of his shoe at some point and was very thankful he changed when he did. I would like to eventually try a few different kinds of sickles and demonstrate them and if my mind changes about what I like. Thanks for stopping by and stay safe!

Just caught the end with the cat/bird haha.

She us quite to huntress! Thank you very much! I really appreciate that.

I agree its a dirt chewing machine indeed!

Thank you very much for that comment, I appreciate you taking the time to write that and praise God for all He is and does for us! I love being outside and getting my hands dirty and talking to God out in my yard lol 😄. Thanks again Angela for stopping by ❤.

As for band, no, I just use a korean one I bought in amazon. However, I do prefer the straighter blade overbthe curved half-circle sickle for gutting the grass around plants. If I were sickling a lot of something, like a small field of something, then maybe the half-circle sickle would do better. I really dont know. I personally prefer the small curve of the more straigh bladed sickle for what I do. Thanks for taking a minute to comment!

These cherries did cover a very large area of the yard and we hated it, so over the years we've cut and mowed over the areas of the yard we want back and don't let them pop up anywhere but where we're ok with them. Their root sytem is quite extensive, but the property here wasnt taken care of for maybe 20 years or so till we moved in and after 10 years of us working at it we're still finding new things (or very old things).

lol lol its for the face shield 😂.

The start of my other video on sickling does. I sharpen as I go and feel it needs it. If I don't feel it needs to be supper, ultra sharp then I just keep going till I feel the blade "bite" instead of "slice". It's not a fancy sword lol, just a grass cutter. Plus, this video was to show the technique of curving or arching your slice, not about the blade itself, so oh well 🤷‍♀️.

It’s not very polite to “should” on others.

@rrbb36 yeah probably right

Basically, yeah. It's not too bad, not super heavy but it needs to be lifted up for the tines to move as its pushed.

Nice! Good eye 😄👍

¡Sí! Es una gran herramienta para un terreno pequeño.

It's not so much I didnt think it could happen as much as I didnt think I made good enough videos to want to take from lol 😅. Permission is always nice to ask for but of course there will always be those who just take. I thought it was funny the guy labelled his review as "honest" 😂. That's really too bad so much of your work was taken without even credit. Credit and permission if necessary is something I really do try to remember about images and video stock i might use. Awesome about the chipper! It's still one of my fave tools 😁👍.

Oh my gosh for real? I'd have never thought! Thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it.

Thanks! 😁👍

thank you

You're welcome!

Yeah I get it! I had no idea at first and just cut every which way try to figure out a good method. Even hacking haha 😄. It was another RUclipsr I learned it from when looking into scything... Scythe Revolution, or something like that. Good luck!

@@narrowpathjourney “OneScytheRevolution” is the seller you’re thinking of… that’s where I bought my initial scythe setup: adjustable snath and brush blade. Then I later bought a longer grass/haying blade from “ScytheSupply”. They’re pretty much the only two Scythe dealers in the USA. 👍

Thanks!

🤣 I live by trains and I'm so used to it!

Sounds like it at times. We do also live along a military flight path.

yup 👍

That's interesting. perhaps I should actually measure branches I put in mine as well and show that. My machines chute came with a rubber covering we removed but nothing inside was restricting the size of the branches. Thanks for mentioning that!

I found a spray paint can that is just over 2 1/2 inches in diameter and it will not go through the chute. It is nor even 2 3/4 inches in diameter. I had taken the rubber covering off to see and also the whole chute off the machine. The bottom of the chute is 3 inches and the hole where the chipper blades are on the main machine is well over 3 inches. They are sending me a whole new chute so it will be interisting to see if the new one is any better. They did send by email a picture of one with a ruler, but it looks the same to me. Where the 2 pieces are welded together seems to be the problem.

@@ralphmowery2898 yes, I would say the welding is slightly off in mine too. In one of my videos I put the camera up close to the inside of the smaller chute to show the blade and it shows the welding is slightly off, now that you meantion it. That's alright the company got back to you though!

The new chute arrived very quick. Where the 2 pieces are welded together are slightly larger, but still way under 2 3/4 inches and my paint can will not go through it either. Sent them some email and they wanted some pictures so sent them some but have not received a reply

Thank you very much! Glad it was the type of thing you were looking for!

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much! Love you babe!

Aw darn! Thats too bad!

It's one of our most used tools on our property. Any branches, the raspberry stalks at the end of the season, leaves, etc, we use it so much. The 338 is the same size just a bigger motor. It might go through dead/dry stuff a bit better but then also will wear the blades just the same. Either is good to have for sure and if you didn't need to purchase a more expensive tractor machine then thats good too! Thanks for stopping by! God bless and happy gardening!

@@narrowpathjourney I have a slot of dead stuff. This place wasn't occupied before my wife, children, and self landed here, for many years. Lots of dead fall we would rather not burn, but rather turn into mulch for trails and future gardens. Considering the amount of dead, and likely seasoned, branches, if you were buying for the first time, might you go for the more powerful engine? God bless you too. This is one glorious province, in my eyes.

@@FrankVaughan That's what we did did here with an uninhabited place tucked away haha 😄👍. A diamond in the rough is what we like to call it. We have about 3 acres though and plan to turn it all into a food forest type of thing. Trees down to shrubs then the ground coverage stuff and mostly all edible plants in between. So for us being without a tractor we're fine with this 224cc, at least for now.

That's awesome. Things are much better in this beautiful province than back East. Culture. Politics. More deer than people. I ended up grabbing the 338 cc just because it was roughly the same price. I drove the hour plus and the Prince Albert this morning, and drove back. I opened the box and the thing was almost comically damaged. Gas tank was crushed. The shoot was crushed. Like I said it was comical enough that I definitely laughed about it. But then I had to drive back... But they exchanged it no problem. Can't wait to give it a try tomorrow and get laying down some mulch. Super excited. I have watched a lot of reviews before making purchases on youtube, but this is the first time I think I've ran into somebody doing the same thing in the same place. That is pretty cool. God bless you all, and I look forward to checking out some of your other video work and seeing what you're growing.
