I have to say that this 'universal system' is one of the best investments in yard tools I've made - highly recommended. I have the string trimmer, edger attachment and the brush cutter shown in this video. I also have the chain saw attachment, but it's still in the box unused. Anyone interested in seeing that?
I'd like to see it, have shade trees next to the house but they grow enough to scratch against the siding during storms. Debating on buying that attachment instead of paying some guy hundreds to come trim the trees! Btw we are in Cecil County, Maryland almost like neighbors 😁.
I just bought this attachment..have attached and started.. but not got into using yet...will update..
so I just bought the Craftsman 25 cc two cycle trimmer/weed wacker. I do Not like String heads so I bought a Shakespeare plastic blade Ugly Head attachment (with replacement string it was $44). I wasted HOURS and couldn't get it installed properly. So I went and got another brand of this attachment, the Trimmerplus universal brush cutting head (it is metal) it works perfect and was very easy to install. I didn't get the Trimmerplus at first because it has blunt not serated blades and it was $109, so I balked at the price, but it is well worth it
John, that's excellent information… Thanks for sharing! My trimmer head uses pre-cut lengths of trimmer line that you need to manually insert at every change. At first I was bothered by the inconvenience, but I just got used to it. I like the metal brush cutter attachments Because you can just go at it without stopping. I'll have to take a look at Trimmerplus!
Very informative! Thanks!
😄
Wow. That is a lot of attachments. I did the same thing the other day and nearly got heatstroke. I do the same thing but for snakes and random critters I dont want to murder by spinning blade.
Hi Johan! Thanks for stopping by this channel. It's hard work! And you are in the middle of summer! (I think I'd rather have heatstroke than the crappy weather we have had lately.) Yeah, I like this tool and all of the accessories, and I own about four different heads for it. Now the question is should I go electric, or stick with gas. Or as a third option, hire someone else to do it so I don't get heatstroke…😁
@@MikeFyxdt My pleasure my friend! Yeah that makes it tough! African winters are far milder than the summers so cant wait for those! That tool seems very versatile! I would not go electric just yet. Their seems to be too many issues at present. That last option seems like the most logical option as Spock would say haha! Hope you have a great weekend!
how dangerous would this be using with a electric trimmer without a guard? first time I used the attachment that came with it the Ryobi head, I hit a fence and it flew off in the locked position and shot at the other end of the yard *with the guard* I could imagine it flying off without a guard and being metal.
the guard on the Ryobi is such a hassle
If the blade got loose this would be like a motorized ninja star throwing machine… Take cover! 😂
@@MikeFyxdt yeah, maybe you shouldn't use those attachments with Ryobi weed eaters. I mean even if I hit the fence with the brush cutter it still shouldn't of flew off right? I think the Ryobi electrics have too much power vs the cheap plastic
My brush cutter attachment when purchased, the blade seem dull. It didn't really want to cut anything. Any suggestions?
Hey Mike, I think the Bamboo will grow through the weed landscaping fabric. Its hard to kill. Good Luck.
Thanks Stanley! I’m still on the fence whether to bother putting down landscaping fabric this season, or whether I should just keep whacking it back until the bamboo gives up. :-)
Bamboo never gives up!
Wondering if the landscape fabric and mulch will stop the bamboo? Myth Busters had an episode where they showed bamboo will grow right up through most things including a person. (A dummy in their case)
@C Smith - yes, I am wondering that too!. I ended up waiting before putting down the landscape cloth because I wanted to make a second pass after about a week, to kill more sprouts. I don’t have high hopes, but I figured it is worth a try. I think I may do part landscaping cloth and part just mulch and see what’s more effective. So Myth Busters was able to grow bamboo through a dummy? That’s hilarious! (I have seen a daffodil push its way through asphalt…)
My brush cutter attachment came with a thin metal rod bent in various directions. However, there were no instructions on what to do with it. Do you know ?
Hi Melanie, that part is called the ‘locking rod’. The end gets inserted into a hole on the blade shaft and it locks the blade from turning, so you can use a wrench to loosen and remove the blade. Do a Google search on “craftsman brush cutter attachment manual” if you need to see instructions. Hope that helps!
Only thing that's missing from that tool is 18 way adjustable seats. 😀
Lol, this setup is so unbelievably low-tech that no chip shortage can stand in the way of progress! Glad you stopped by! 😁
Oh Yeah!
Oh yeah to you too! Did you notice my ‘morph’ dissolves? Wanted to try something new. 😁
@@MikeFyxdt .. i did notice that! Very Kool!
Time for some more Mustang videos Mike?
I think that is a great idea! Maybe this weekend…
Yes!
Oh gosh, you made it here to the comments even before me! This is like hosting a party and the guests arrive before you do! :)
@@MikeFyxdt bored out of my mind while observing a crew installing Geopiers ...
@@mokumholland5640 What are you building? A bridge?
@@MikeFyxdt it’s for a school.Interesting process but boring after three, done about 1800 so far in the last month.
@@mokumholland5640 Oh my! Is construction your profession?
Why don't you try glyphosate herbicide such as roundup brand that for sure will eliminate completely the hard-to-kill plants such as bamboo. I've done it .
Robert, I don’t know if Roundup will kill bamboo, but it would definitely kill my record of being organic, which we’ve been for the last 12 years. Gotta tell you, it’s tempting sometimes…
You must be a fan of GM since look what you're using your Ford T shirt for. 🤣
Lol, nah. I am a pretty diehard Ford fan... but if someone dropped one of those new Corvettes off in my driveway I would not say no!
😂
😎
Can't you just buy the blade???
That’s an excellent question! My string trimmer attachment doesn’t have a way to fasten the blade, and I wonder if the two tools are geared differently. Maybe someone makes a brush cutting blade that will mount in the string trimmer for people that don’t have the universal accessory set up. I will have to do some research!
@@MikeFyxdt I used to have a trimmer that I could change out the head and buy a plastic fixed blade similar to the metal one you have... It was alright but nothing great... Now I have a Stihl and I'm not sure you can do that with because you can buy various attachments like how yours is configured..
@@fkingdeplorable2858 these tools are really versatile in how they can be configured. It’s great that they make these with a variety of attachments that actually work. I like only having to take care of one engine, and have the benefit of all the different tools. I didn’t see a blade that would attached to my string trimmer head, but I found one company that sells a round chainsaw looking thing! Crazy… :-)
@@MikeFyxdt That round chainsaw thing might be nice also for cutting thicker brush... Thanks!
Nobody will show how the blade attaches for some odd reason... which is the most important thing about these. My new dewalt trimmer uses a non standard design so I'm looking into getting one if these. Want to Make sure they are versatile unlike the dewalt design which uses a square head where others use a star/toothed design. All of the universal blade kits use the star design
Keep videos less than 1 min.
Lol! You should check out my shorts! (snicker, snicker...)
Spray all of it with a cancer-causing agent, say your prayers, and the problem will be fixed one way or another 🤣
Absolute waste of money. Weedwacker alone cuts brush without spending the extra $100
I got mine on sale for about half that. Where it really excels is on woody stems where a string trimmer skips over. It also can kick up a pretty nice rooster-tail of dirt, if you need to scalp an area down to the soil! 😄
