blades-with-a-Stihl-brush-cutter

Commercial and home-adapted blades for brush cutting under trees with a Stihl brush cutter at Mills Apple Farm, Marine, Illinois. The triangular blade shocks the cutting head gears and causes excessive wear. The regular saw blade that comes with the machine is not hardened and has difficulty cutting woody stems. The old carbide blade has the center hole widened to one inch to fit the Stihl. Even though it has missing carbide teeth, it still easily out-cuts the other blades with less strain. This blade was used for five years on thousands of such plants. Photo: Jerry Mills
