Ryobi Brush Cutter | Expand It System
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2021
- This Ryobi Brush Cutter is part of their Expand It system and works well on their 40v platform. Come with me as we unbox this new tool and put it to use. Ryobi 40v tools have become my favorites and I think this one will work well too. I'll show you just how easy it is to switch tools on their expand It system. I have a lot of brush to clear with this new brush cutter and when we're done we'll take it to the garden and see if it will take down corn stalks for our fall decorations. Let's get started.

I stand by this attachment been using for a couple of years now. Its worth it. Once you get the bulk down it's easy. I using in a swinging motion moving from top to bottom of the brush works fine. It does take a little muscle for thick brush. I love it.
This attachment and the hardworking guy made it look easy.
Great addition to the yard maintenance arsenal. Excellent review. It made me want one.
Thank you! I all set now..
Thanks for this demonstration and review. Just ordered today!!! 😄
Glad to help. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
Sold, will be adding that to my Ryobi collection. Thanks for the great video
Good choice! Thanks for watching..
@4:55 when you took down that small sapling...that sold me on it, dude.
Great video of real work being down with the tools.
Thank you.. I actually love these tools and they do not sponsor my videos.. I have the leaf blower, pole saw, weed eater and this brush cutter attachment.
LoL, same. I paused the video and ordered it when I seen that part. I've got a million of those that need to go.
This was awesome! I loved the frog!
Thank you. Yup that was one tiny frog. I didn't get a footage of the two snakes and I don't know how many voles and mice.
Wow tore right through that definitely purchasing this today
Yes it works really well. Thanks for watching
Great machine really
its $119 now LOL thanks for the video! God Bless you, your family and your channel
Is it really? I guess like everything else they doubled in price. God bless you and your family as well.
Thanks for the video. The brush cutter seems to be more than adequate for trimming hedges also.
Thanks for watching!
looks great
The insulation is rated for voltage not amperage but to be clear you need #12AWG for a 20A circuit.
Cool have the weed Wacker...may get this or the pole saw for high bush hedges.
I have the pole saw as well as the leaf blower. I'm very happy with the battery performance on the 40v system.
I was impressed with the battery proformance.
I was too. The only tool I have that really eats the battery is the leaf blower.
@@BackyardMaine right, and the leaf vacuum .
I bought this brushcutter today. It requires a 3-hour charge for 1-hour's use. I found the grip to be at a poor angle for me. It put my wrist at a continuous 45' angle, which was very uncomfortable over time. Advil followed the cutting. The tool works as it should, however. No argument there, but the grip at the trigger was all wrong. It should be more like a pistol grip instead of being like the handle of a tennis racket.
Awesome helpful video... I thought you were Kenny Chesney at first...
Glad you enjoyed the video.. If I was Kenny Chesney I probably would be cutting my own brush..😅 Thanks for watching!
I bought one a year ago I'm using it tomorrow
I have the 18V series of tools, but I'm not finding this attachment for the 18V. Am I relegated to buying the whole package to get this brush cutter? Would definitely come in handy on our property.
I’m not sure. If you have the expandit system I don’t know why it wouldn’t connect.
I’m impressed it kept up being a simple cheap brushed motor, did it ever overheat and shut down?
The only time it did that is if I got into the grass and it wound around the blade like string. I think that happened twice. But with the brush and weeks it had no problems.
I think I’m gonna get this set up for weed waking
I don't think you will be disappointed. The brush cutter attachment works great on it as well. I have another video on that tool..
Was gonna get it for weed wacking too
I’m gonna get this despite the cost, bc it’s way easier to swap out than a hack where I attach a sharper blade in a more permanent fashion. I’ll save some money by applying for and using a new retailer credit card. Thx
It really does work quite well.
Hey have you had any trouble with that 40V powerhead? I’m considering one and I’m seeing that a good amount of people are having issues with it overheating and in some cases even catching on fire…
I haven't had any issues with mine. I haven't heard of anyone else having problems either. I will keep an eye out though.
my back yard isnt very big, but the grass gets high/thick quickly and im wondering if this would be nice to have instead of getting an actual mower because its small and simpler
If it's just grass I would probably get the tool but with the weed eater attachment. The brush cutter works best for heavy brush. Here's an Amazon Affiliate link if you're interested. amzn.to/3H0wQfJ
Hey thanks for the video! I'm thinking about buying this attachment to knock down a bunch of brush. Do you think the Ryobi brush cutter attachment would be able to go through tree wood suckers that are 1" to 3.5" thick? Or do you think it would be better to get one of those "Forrester Brush Cutter Blades"? Thanks!
This one is great for stuff up to 3/4 inch or less. You can put a different blade on like you mentioned but with what’s in the box may not be what you need. Thanks for watching.
@@BackyardMaine hey I really appreciate you getting back to me! Thanks so much! That makes alot sense!

I posted this question in another section...
Is the expand-it brush cutter attachment compatible with both the 40v attachment head and the gas-powered attachment head??
Because when I attached the brush cutter attachment to my newly purchased 40v attachment head it keeps on stalling yet it works perfectly with my gas powered attachment head.
@@thejookking I replied to you other comment. I really don't know what's going on with yours. Is it the same model as in my video?
What I don't understand is why they put the spring button in a place that competes with the wing nut. It makes removal less than ideal compared to the string trimmer which uses the hole on top of that wing nut assembly.
hi i tried to watch video review of weed wacker only to find message saying private video
i came to see review of week wacker because i have the 25cc gas model RY251PH 2015 model and wanted to compare and see if the attachments worked before purchasing could you please make that video available?
Sorry about that.. Try this link.. ruclips.net/video/-lvA9vJMPn0/видео.html

I’m not sure what’s going on with your setup. Mine works fine. Is it the same brush cutter as the one in my video?
Do you think it could run a circular saw blade for taking out small trees?
I do. And I plan to try it soon. I cleared and area a few years ago and I have a lot of small trees shooting back up.
If you had the weed eater attachment could you just buy the blade and accomplish the same thing?
Maybe but I don’t want to spend the time pulling the head apart every time I change attachments. With this setup it takes seconds
I want to mulch leaves so they decompose into my garden, but I don't want to buy a lawn mower. Will this work on leaves?
Probably not the best tool for mulching leaves.
Will that cut through bamboo?
I don’t know. We don’t have any bamboo in Maine
Re: the cutting head wearing down, I assume that you could just sharpen it with a grinder.
The cutting head on this is actually dull with square edges. It's also reversible so I was thinking about sharpening one side to see if it cut better or worse.
so why can't we use that to cut the grass as well? do we really need to buy that weed whipper (string trimmer) attachment too?
It doesn’t do great in thick grass. It will wind around the blade. Then you need to pull the battery and pull all the grass out.
I just bought the Ryobi 40v Expand It power head and brush cutter attachment; after unboxing I noticed in the brush cutter manual it says not to use the brush cutter on any electric power head, due to risk of personal injury or shock. Also, the power head manual says that the brush cutter shouldn't be used with it. They are both part of the Expand It system. I am super annoyed , I really need to get some work done. Did you notice that, or have any problems?
Hi Mark, Do you have the 120 cord connected power head? If so maybe the risk is cutting the cord. Mine is a battery power head and there is no issue. I would use it even with the corded unit but just be careful not to cut the cord.
Sorry Mark I missed that you also have the 40v system. To be honest I didn't read all the paperwork but the brush cutter works great with this system and I wouldn't hesitate to use it.
@@BackyardMainegreat, thanks for the review, and for the reply!
@@BackyardMaine
So if I understand you correctly, this can be used with the Ryobi gas ⛽️ powered attachment because that is what I have.
@@thejookking I believe so but I would check the compatibility before you buy. I think the connection is the same. I'm sure the information is available online.
Stuff? That was an oak you cut down!
Yup a small one plus all sorts of other woody brush.
I would sharpen that blade it looks like it does not cut that well
I may try that to see if it cuts better.
From the Ryobi Manual:
"TRI-ARC BLADEThe TRI-ARC blade is suited only for pulpy weeds and vines. When the blade becomes dull, it can be turned over to extend the life of the blade. Do not sharpen the TRI-ARC blade."
@@set3777 I read that too. I may have mentioned that in the video. I thought it worked well. If I try to sharpen one side I can always go back to the other.
@@BackyardMaine "Do not sharpen the TRI-ARC blade." instruction is because sharpening could result in an UNBALANCED blade?
(I have 3 Ryobi expand-it Brush Cutter but have YET to used the Triac Blade because my "old model" Ryobi BA25 expand- it Quad Blade was designed much sharper than the new tri-arc blade)
$69 it must have been a sale it’s now double the money
Sadly everything has doubled or even quadrupled since this video was made.
I paid $99 today, regular price, 4/14/24.
Gonna use this to trim my old ladies bush.
