Thank you for uploading this video. I am getting the same trimmer. This was a LOT of help.
Glad i could help!
Man did you get lucky that the blade fit over that one in flames. I tried to use a Tanaka no-brainer head on my 2825. Technically, it was secured in place. But it pretty much free spun because of the Flames. It was never turned by the shaft. However, the craftsman hassle-free three head, which is similar, should work. A guy on RUclips shows how he installed it with no problem on his Milwaukee 2825 or perhaps 2725 string trimmer.
what the size of the nut you put?
I just used one last weekend with an 8” Forrester 40 tooth blade to cut brush for a 1/2 mile walk thru thick undergrowth to a hunting spot. It did a phenomenal job!
Thanks for this video! Ordering that blade today!
Most definitely!
Thanks for posting this
Of course!
My machine is cutting out when I put this blade on. I can’t figure out why. Same models and everything.
Make sure the blade isn’t loose on the machine, mine was doing that when it was loose.
@@MJAltairy thank you so much for the quick response! I was worried about over tightening.
@@timgibb9678 no problem! Were you able to get it to work?
@@timgibb9678 MJ Altairy asked ya if you were able to get it to work? I've been sitting here for a month waiting for you to answer his question.
@@TristanVash38 apologies! I actually didn’t get it to work. It kept cutting out no matter how I worked the washers. Ended up buying a dedicated Husqvarna.
Nice
Anyone thats lost a hand to this wont be back to let us know about it...
Just ordered the Milwaukee M18 brushcutter, hopefully it will have the power in need! I currently use the Husqvarna 535LK, which has plenty of power, but not particularly comfortable to use.
Looks like it's been a year since you posted this video. Can you give us an update? How often do you use the line trimmer with the blade attached? And, has it caused any damage to the trimmer?
I have a Milwaukee line trimmer, and I'd like to use a blade on it now and then for cutting briar patches that are a little too thick for the heavy cutting line to handle. However, I'm afraid the extra torque required to run the blade will over-stress the drive system. I don't want to damage my expensive new trimmer.
Any feedback you can give would be appreciated.
Oh this is still a favorite tool for the yard! Never took the blade off, sharpened it here and there with the supplied blade sharpener and have had 0 problems
@@MJAltairy Cool. Thanks.
@Steve Sherman Thanks for the info, Steve.
how large of a shrub wood can u cut through with this piece?
@@warrendomask1565half the width of the blade minus half the width of the bushing that holds the blade on providing that you keep your blade sharp. You also have to figure what direction the brush is likely to fall towards and cut it from opposite side or it might pinch. You don't use the trimmer like you use the line variety for thicker brush. You put pressure on blade to cut it just like you might with a pole saw. Mine had noticeable gyroscopic forces that felt like it wanted to twist the unit. I had handlebar type grip and i really appreciated that mine also had a sturdy harness so the weight was on my shoulders but mostly my hips. And remember, works best really sharp but you're using it really close to ground with dirt, stones and sometimes metal to run that blade into and teeth don't llike that a lor.😊
I think Milwaukee put in a sensor or system to detect these brush cutter blades. My brand new M18 String Trimmer with Quik-Lok refuses to use these blade (2825-20 head with 49-16-2717 string trimmer attachment). It will partly spin up then cut power to itself. Tried multiple HO batteries, M18 High Output 8amp and 6amp batteries. Tried reinstalling the blade. Every time the trimmer will just partly spin up, doesn't even get to full speed, then cut power to itself. I can keep pressing the trigger and this just repeats. Guess I will have to buy their official $150 brush cutter attachment instead, it's supposed to be geared differently.
Make sure the blade is secure to the stud/bolt. If the machine senses “free-spin” it kills itself pretty much. With my blade, sometimes i give the trigger a couple pulls to engage the spin then on the 3rd-4th trigger pull, it stays on. Kinda shady feeling but it’s done the job haha
ciao novità sulla tua prova? sono interessato anche io 😊
The problem I'm having is connecting the blade to my trimmer. The blade has a 1 inch hole and my Cub Cadet is slightly smaller. I've been all over our area hardware stores and they have nothing for me.
Dale, what size nut and threads? is it metric?
Would something like this possibly do the job? Sorry, I’ve only used this blade with my Milwaukee weed wacker.

@@MJAltairy Thanks, I ordered that in a blade kit. We'll see
@@randallcrist3881 10mmx1.25 reverse thread
@@gr8649 is this the thread for the Milwaukee trimmer?
I wish I knew what size that nut is
I know, i was in a bit of a rush when I made this video a while back and just happened to get lucky with leftover hardware i had laying around. Maybe try taking the milwaukee head with you to the hardware store, they usually have one of those boards with the variety of threads you can try to get you the right size you’ll need!
It's a 10mm left hand thread nut.
From what I’ve looked up it’s a M10 x 1.25mm
How would you sharpen this blade?
It comes with a sharpening tool that you run along the teeth.
can it be done on the new brushless Milwaukee trimmer?
Do you think the machine is powerful enough for the blade or wish it had more?
For what i need, i think it does the job plenty.
Seriously?
You make an instructional video and don't know what the parts are called or what thread pitch you're dealing with.
The loose washer was all I wanted to see. Dude, you might be a nice guy but you're convincing potentially challenged people they can build a dangerous toy.
Please stop.
Oh man I’m sorry. My intention of the video was to share the idea pretty much. So far my family and I have been using it this way since I’ve uploaded this video with absolutely no problems (knock on wood).
I’ll be on the lookout for your video correcting/going over the points I didn’t cover properly and i’ll be sure to reference it in my description for this video or i’ll even delete this video after your upload. Thank you for your input.
@@MJAltairy Thanks for posting this. Some people have nothing better to do with their lives than to criticize. I'll be on the lookout as well for this guys video. Hopefully it comes after he lightens up a bit.
@@jdiddy5637 😂 i know right?! Appreciate the support!
Thanks for posting this! I have the exact same one, and ordered the exact same blade. Thanks
Would have been nice to know the nut / washer size.
Does anyone know if this is a M10 x 1.00, 1.25, or 1.50 ??
