You guys give me loads of encouragement I've been doing garden maintenance for about 20 years but I work on my own but i need to make it benefit me more. Kevin-Stephenson. From Letchworth Garden City in North Hertfordshire.
Ha ha Michaels definitely your right-hand man.... you guys definitely have some good banter there! That blade looks handy for the thicker stuff. I think Id like to use regular strimmer with decent nylon for most softer growth then switch to the blade for the thicker stuff
Hi guys, i bought another Oregon mulcher blade to pop on my Makita 4 stroke brushcutter and all was going well. Think i must have hit a rock and either bent the blade or knocked a chunk of metal out. It's now unbalanced and makes the brushcutter vibrate. Ive ordered a replacement and this time gone for the 4mm as the one i damaged is 3mm. Think i'll do the nail balance trick and see if it balances or not.
Hi. Thought i might have read a few comments about you being mental climbing on a roof for a customers hedge......glad i`m not the only one. Would highly recommend Stihls extendable battery hedge cutter. A good work out when fully extended and in the horizontal position but they reach a long way., Saves moving the ladder so much. Now finishing my fourth season as a gardener and realised very quickly how important it is to buy quality(expensive) tools and the need to have two or more of everything. Really enjoyed your Sisis video. Looked up how much they are new and i`m just recovering. Hope you find lots of work next year for it. I use a Billy Goat which i`m very happy with but a tad envious of the Sisis. Keep up the good work on the videos. Regards Terry. Rackheath Garden and Exterior services. (Norfolk)
@@dagtailgroundmaintenance Yes, the 300 batteries. They last for a real long time in the hedge cutters. Not so long in the strimmer and even less in the hand held blower which i know you know as you have one. Like you i have the petrol options which are more powerful but, lovely to have the battery power as an option especially when fuel was short.
@@K4crasher surprising the hedge trimming lasts longer but I've heard that before. When I get the battery trimmers ill have the batteries from my other tools as backup. Also I know most my customers will be happy for me to put 1 on charge while working. What I'm looking forward to the most is the less noise and smoke
@@dagtailgroundmaintenance I think you will be pleasantly surprised at just how long the hedge trimmers last on a battery. The fact you already have some AP300 batteries is a no brainer as to buying the battery tools. It would be nice if you did a video on how/why you and Mike started working together as you work really well together. Left hand knows what the right hand is doing.
That blade does some amazing work. Oddly, I can't find them anywhere here in the States. Even looking at vids here on YT, all the people using them are Brits and there's hardly any mention of them being used on this side of the Pond.
@@dagtailgroundmaintenance Tried that, but they don't even mention it anywhere on their website. Everyone talking about them on RUclips is in the UK or mainland Europe, but I can't find a single video of someone in America using the things. And i have no idea why. Maybe American brush and brash is just too tough for the things? I did notice that they're made in France, after all. 🤣
You have to order them from the UK Market my last one shipped out of Italy..you know how everything in the states has to be bubble wrapped for the single digit IQs over here...😅🙄
@@scsherman207 the ones I've tried from the us market are knock offs and are butter soft, soon as it hits a stone or a rock they ding up, stick with the oregon original 👍🏻
Go higher if you can. I don't know the weight of that blade but the trimmer sounded like it was working hard to spin it. Ive never seen that blade before and I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for posting :)
The Oregan mulching blades are fantastic, I use them on my Husqvarna 535LK pro combi, and they go through pretty much everything!
Thanks for the video; you’ve helped me to make a decision. Definitely ordering an Oregon blade.
Good comment on cutting frequency haven't used a mulching blade looks good and will save on bulky waste
yes, in rough areas it looks fine left flat on the ground to rot
Good team there mate. That clip of throwing the bags over the customers fence looked like a fly tipping video the councils would put out 😂
We don't fly tip, we swing tip 😆
Cheers mate 👍

That's great to hear Kevin. What part of your job do you like the most?
Well done lads great job.

He sure is 👍cheers mate

nice clearance mate 👍 good to see you doing well
Thanks mate 👍
I bet that stuff stunk too.
Fantastic work ethic chaps 👍👍
I've got two of the blades, different sizes. I prefer the smaller one.
Cheers mate 👍

Thanks Terry. I might put a order in for the stihl before Xmas as I think there is a long wait at the moment. Does yours take the AP300 batteries?

You might have to go to Oregon to find one 😅
I'm surprised to hear this

@@jayusher576 Yep. Finally bought one off ebay for a pittance and am loving it. Makes berry brambles quake in fear!

Brilliant bit of kit, I have a strimmer with cow horn bars and find it’s easier
I never liked cow horns myself also not good storing in my tool box. I won't leave on the back of truck. Thanks for watching 👍
Had to swap to cowhorn type as rsi got bad using single handle
Great video chaps... I kept thinking to myself - this looks prime area for a wasp nest! 🙄
And snakes 🐍 🤣
what cc engine would you recommend for the Oregon blade , enjoy the videos thanks for sharing
25 cc thanks for watching
Go higher if you can. I don't know the weight of that blade but the trimmer sounded like it was working hard to spin it. Ive never seen that blade before and I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for posting :)
Thanks for watching 🙂
25 at least
Would you recommend this over the 3 star tooth blade?
I've not used one but I think the way the oregon mulching blade is designed does a really good job.
You need a powerfull machine for mulching blades
