Blackberry APOCALYPSE Gets SHUT DOWN!!! Stihl FS-561C Clearing Saw
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- Today we are taking on this property where the blackberries just went wild. About 1/6th of this property was overgrown with blackberry bramble and the new owner needed it gone as it was hindering all of his plans.
With our new Stihl FS-561C clearing saw we were able to make absolute light work of all of this mess. The machine is a huge upgrade from the Stihl FS-460 and it really shows. We were able to slice through the blackberries more efficiently and were able to clear a lot more on a single tank of fuel.

Wow! It’s almost like you had a motocross with a mulching blade attached. Serious power. Thanks for the video.
It’s an amazing machine, a huge step up from the Stihl FS-460!
@@golovinpropertyservices Can you tell a big difference in the extra weight when lifting and dropping the cutter head?
@@g-mc4507 It all depends how the brush cutter sits on your narness. If it's balanced then you can hardly feel the weight of the machine.
Good job, this machine is a weed killer.
I guarantee every blackberry plant will grow twice as fast and tall within a year.
Facts. Gotta keep mowing!!
Year after that, the entire earth is covered 😱😱
True. If you don't want it to come back,you have to tear out the roots.
Greetings from Germany....
That's why you gotta maintain
all the off cuts will act as fuel so yeah, old mate has a reocurring client ahahah
Personally, I would tackle that with a 5ft topper on a small tractor. Nice quiet job done sitting down with no need for ear defenders. Second choice would be a BCS740 with a flail on the front.
Well said!✌️
Faut avoir le matos 😉
Great job. You convinced me. That's the work I do several times a year with a Stihl FS300. Your machine looks like a great improvement. I will buy one. Thank you
Thank you! Let Stihl know you saw my video, maybe they’ll sponsor me eventually 😅
@@golovinpropertyservices I'll do
@@golovinpropertyservices Best video out there, ordered one yesterday.
You deserve every cent. I wish you many more excellent works.
Great transformation of the overgrown yard. You made it look totally normal again. You’re the best, Dave. See you on the next! 🙂👍🇺🇸
Wow! New owner is going to have to clear the entire top layer from all those roots. What a wild transformation!
Was just thinking about the root system, maybe with some suck the thick layer of wood and leaves he's mulched up will stop new shoots from reaching the top just long enough that it all dies
@@baileyjerman5573no way. The shoots can grow through much thicker layers of pretty much everything. Plus there will be way more shoots upcoming.
It's an expensive shortterm aesthetic makeover.
@@derjugendlichekurtbodowich2388 apperantly where this man lives blackberry is an invasive plant so I'd disagree
@@baileyjerman5573anything black is invasive
Great video, would have loved to see the cleanup process and how to stop them from coming back.
That is a cosmetic job. They will grow back in even more strength next season. A bit silly to put in that much effort for a temp solution. An excavator is the only option. Remove the roots and a couple of foot of soil. But then again, it's continuous work / income every year if you just "prune" it like that. :D
@@Pitaoj mow it for a season now and the grass will stop the re growth
@@alfienoalkes1 guess we’ll see next year. 👍🏻
That saw is a beast, I have the same one and it's a blast to operate.
I agree! I was a surprised how big it was when I came to pick it up. It’s a great machine.
Great job, the yard got a complete tranformation! I got to use my dads clearing saw last spring, can’t recall the name right now but it looked quite similar to the one you used here. I went over my parents yard with it over a couple days and it honestly felt like therapy. Got a couple blisters and scratches, but it felt so satisfying and rewarding to just Watch it plow through thorn bushes and Weeds like nothing. Not to mention the transformation. Now the grass, clovers and flowers have been allowed to grow and attract bees and all kinds of life to make for a nice garden:) That probably goes for this one too
Those things are nice but sometimes I like using a hedge trimmer to cut saplings and briar thickets. With the hedge trimmer you can go in a sweeping motion and just fly through it with a much wider cutting path. The downside to the hedge trimmer is after awhile, it can start hurting your back. On steep hills, mountain sides, the hedge trimmer works so well. I like the bladed weed eater as well.
Cały film obejrzałem.. miałem wrażenie jak by nie używał paliwa .. świetna robota ... dużo pracy 😊
Damn those home owners must have been stoked to have their yard back! Lots of work to get it green and grass but atleast they have a huge step done. Good job!
it's already a field of blackberries. Guaranteed.
@@popvultureinc5007can’t you weaken and over time completely destroy the blackberries if they are trimmed 2-3x times a season?
@@ChrisWhite.fishing doubtful ... But even so, which sounds easier? I do this kind of stuff all day every day. Trimming is more or less like mowing. You'll be back.
That was insane! 😆
I've never seen anything like it. And in a garden!
Did the owners notice any difference? 😂
The home was neglected by the previous owners as you can see. The guy who purchased it wanted everything cleaned up. It was a huge effort on his part😅
Great German ingeneering, that cutter is powerful and sounds awesome. You are a hardworking man, working in the rain. I also have alot of Stihl equipment and they always work great I never had a problem with my machines. I have the small fs 120 and the fs 450, this last one is a beast. I cut alot too in my garden and on my farm. Greetings from Chile.
I enjoy all my Stihl equipment, haven’t had any serious problems with them. You definitely chose the right tools for the job! Greetings from Washington state USA!
that machine is a monster Dave. hahaha nice
Thank you! It works really great for blackberries.
Wonderful job as always!
Thank you Carol!
Nice brushcutter 👍👍
Once he got the hang of it, he was moving like lightning!
That’s the only way to do things😎
fantastic job
Thank you!
❤❤❤
😁👍
Awesome job
Thank you William!
It is insanely satisfying to watch on 4x speed 😂
Would love to see the next steps taken to prevent them from returning
It sure is, the next steps are either removing the roots or just maintaining the area as grass grows in.
@@golovinpropertyservices will keeping regular mowing and having the grass choke out the rest of other plant growth be a viable solution for this lawn do you think?
@@Nayte08 it will need to be raked first and then with regular mowing it will go away. I have done this several times and even mow 2 lawns where we have done this.
Good job for the brambles but there will be crown roots ready to sprout about 6 to 12 inches underground that need to be cleared as well. A site that big will need a backhoe, and then the landscape fabric/cardboard and mulch layers on top. In three years the crown roots should finally be dead and you can grow things in the yard. Good luck!
🎯
Yeah. One of my neighbour got one of those. I used it while a power outrage, trees on the streets, I was cleaning the SWAT (lol) team parking. ... ... ... BEAST! This thing is a Beast.
I want one so bnad. 😁
Wow!!! 😮 ❤
😇👍
Lil pupper kept checking out the newly opened space lol.
He saw all the new free real estate😅
Thanks for the amazon mulcher blade link.
EXCELLENT FOOTAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you! We try our best 😎
Awesome job, one heck of an effort and great video! For those willing to sacrifice not working with a new FS-561, go find a used FS-560 and get the new head (last I heard was running US$120-140. Same engines!
the neighbors must have been very happy with you taking care of that mess.
That's one way to break in a new piece of equiptment!! I can't believe that was only 1 tank of fuel....amazing!
Ne može biti samo jedan spremnik goriva nikako!
Great fitness there...👍 Amazing how the brambles were covering large sheds..!! The previous owners definitely didn't like gardening...🤨
💚👍👍👍
😁👍
I am tempted to buy one of these now to handle bird berry that often regrows on cleared land...
Stihl makes absolutely amazing equipment

💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Bro... you have to uproot brambles( raspberries..blueberry...ect) or they come back... unless you want them too.😊😊
I’m aware. This was so they could maintain the area or remove them afterwards. Totally up to their discretion.
were you able to do this all within a day?
@@sebastiansorescu792 this would have been a one day project, but it came out to be 6 hours one day and 2 hours the next. The weather was really bad and it was raining almost non-stop.
If it was clear it would have gone a lot faster and probably would have taken 6-7 hours in total for the entire project.
@@golovinpropertyservices how much would a project like that cost? do you usually do do a project by the area or by the hour?
Great job, super clean.
Hallo alex from Milan Italy 🇮🇹
Thank you! Greetings from the USA!
Hi, how satisfied are you with the 561c and how long did it take you to do this job? Best regards💪
Love it. So satisfying to watch
Очень мощный инструмент! Отличная покупка. Удачи тебе брат!
Спасибо!)
Impressive!
Nice work!
Thank you!
Great video! Keep up with thgood work!!!
Use it in a sweeping motion from side to side . Just like a scythe. It will be far more effective.
Not true in this case.
Love blackberries owner should train the new ones into rows as they regrow.
Gracias. Buen trabajo,siempre adelante, que cuchilla uso❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Good job guy you ré the best !..
La on peut dire que la stihl a fait le job 😳👍
How big was the yard and how much time did it take you to complete the job?
This was awesome. wow!
The total project area was about 10,000sqft and it took me about 8 hours to mulch everything.
@@golovinpropertyservices wow good job
Have you compared this method to a walk-behind brush cutter like the Billy Goat? I picked up a used Ferris brush cutter for my property and now plan to sell it for a setup like yours, mainly because my land is mostly hilly and with granite boulders everywhere -- turns out the walk-behind is tough or impossible to navigate in most of the places I want to use it. But for clearing out flat land or a yard like this, I'm genuinely curious which would be more effective/efficient. Any thoughts?
I've done jobs just like this and bigger years ago in the UK. Used what we call a flail mower alongside a Stihl brush cutter. I would generally use the brush cutter as little as possible, just to locate problem areas or when the stuff gets over chest height. Rest of the time I found the mower is the best tool for the job.
Nice Project. Just some Feedback..I couldn't watch the entire Video cause the sound almost drove me crazy..some music or whatever would have been better 😊
Bardzo dobra robota pozdrawiam serdecznie 😀
Dajkuem! 😁👍
I own FS 460 CM and tbh that has plenty of power. What I would rather see Stihl do is make their trimmers lighter and quieter.
That was amazing Never seen anything like that Mess before You are Great..How long did that job take in hours or days in real😊❤❤ Time
Question ??? What kind of Blade are you using 🤔 ??? Keep up the Good Work !!! Brother !!! 😊😊😊
It’s a mulching or brush cutter blade. His machine is powerful no doubt but I have one of those blades on a dedicated trimmer attachment and it destroys EVERYTHING! Even with less power it just cuts through any vegetation. Can even be a bit dangerous and requires a lot of caution when using.
Gotta have a big shaft!!
You know it! 😎
rain helps to cool the cutterhead...
Makes things a little slower too😅
If I was the owner, I would have left a manageable 6ft hedge, so the blackberries could grow and thrive, and I would enjoy eating them.😋😊
Is that thing good for cutting grass at a low level aswell?
Damn that is alot of work.
Topper or more likely a flail to do the bulk of the clearance. Banks and margins for the Stihl, but it did well. I'm thinking about one...
It’s a great tool for any area. A lot more affordable than a tractor or flail mower. And doesn’t take up as much space either.
Love your channel! So satisfying to much you mulch those pasky BB’s.
Wondering what kind of screen & ear muff comb are you using.
Thanks for watching! I’m using a Stihl face shield.
Bei so einer großen Fläche nimmst du dir das Leben mit solch kleinen Geräten,einmal mit einem großen Mulcher durch und gut ist!
That’s awesome
Thanks!
Damn talk about breaking in a new brush cutter looked awesome my dude hard work pays off keep at it!
It paid itself off real quick, it was definitely worth the investment.
What kind of string are you using? What ever it is, it's working
Do the blades last a good while or do you need to have several on hand for a project of this size ?
I wonder if you cleaned up all the weeds out of those blackberries and just let the grass come back in I would like to see the end results of all the hard work he done
i do property maintenance here in the smoky mtns. Just curious, what did you charge for this job?
as soon as the tips of the blackberry plants stick up, the owner should rent a small herd of goats to eat down the regrowth and fertilize the block.
That’s a good idea! Easy work for the goats at that point.
@@golovinpropertyservices it beats having to poison and poison and slash over and over until the roots and seeds are all gone.
Great video. Thinking about getting this same machine. Would you please let me know which blade you used? Thanks!
First Class. How long did it take in real time?
8 hours for the total property, would have been faster if it wasn’t raining.
Hey David, I had to go looking for you! I’m curious as what that smoke was from…👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Hey Lina! Nice to see you, the smoke was from a fire, they were burning branches and the blackberry debris.
how long did it take you to finish?
Project was 8 hours long.
Sounds like its got a chainsaw motor on it thats a very narly trimmer i don't think ive seen something that crazy before
Sound like enduro..wow
My good old km131 will do it no problem
That’s right!
This is definitely the movements and coverage patterns of a man who has only done this 20 or so hours x’D easy sweepin man, wiiide open. Also pls walk the property before goin ham. Crucial in high grass and espcially crucial in high brush
Next spring, spray with Triclopyr and roots will be gone too.
Sounds like a good idea!
Noy blackberry 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😮
Да) зачем она нужна??
What is the orange blade you’re using in the end? That looks a lot more effective than the saw blade
👌👌✔✔👍👍
amazing
Thank you!
Dang I would have just cut paths through that and started a blackberry franchise!
The birds are going to be furious!
you got to be in the pnw. i lived there from 2015 to 2023 because i was bored. i see that stuff everywhere and had to remove some of it with temp jobs. it is worse than a thistle or sticker burrs.
I would not know where to begin on pricing this job
What di you charge boss
considering it was a few hours of only clearing the top of the blackberries and not solving the actual issue and harder job of killing the roots, a couple hundred bucks at most.
Stihl against blackberries. Who wins?
David 😎
Weed eating is calming af to me. Am i weird?
Nah dude, you’re just someone who enjoys satisfying things 😎
beast mode!
Right!
This is ASMR for psychopaths 😂 great job on the clear! Wonder what to do with the roots
That’s how we roll😎
What kind of blade did you use and rented one at Home Depot. Nevertheless the blade was dull and didn't cut much bushes. The changing the blade but not sure if it will work yet got 3300 SQ feet of land to do. My land is similar to your project.
The dog didnt know what to make of it 😅
I hope you didn't do that for free
Not this one😅
are you gonna spray it?
The only way to eliminate a blackberry bush is to get the tractor and dig it up
That’s definitely an option
Omg! How powerful this machine is.
Really well made video.
I own the FS-460 which is perfect for heavy duty grass trimming.
But it would probably struggle with this type of Apocalypse ;-)
the doggo supervisor is never impressed
