Anybody tried a brushcutter on sapling trees?
I've got acres of acacia longifolia to remove that has sprung up after fuel reduction burns, spraying them hasn't proven to be very effective. I've tried lontrel, trounce and grazon in the past - and I have even more to do now.
I know it's been done, I've got no idea of speed, blade choice or how much brushcutter I'll actually need - but I've got a feeling the 35cc Honda might be marginal! I'd like to try though before I shell out a for something new.
Benne - want to talk to me about a stihl 250 vs their forestry clearing range?
I'll be out your way next week some time, so if I can make some sense of this I can pick one up.

I missed a 460 last week for $1k - I kinda wanted it, but I had no work for one. Lol. Then again, is second hand a bright idea with these things? I really haven't worried for ages as the Hondas have done everything I've needed for years and I have no idea how you wear one out.
ive use my fs85 for that kinda stuff works well but hard going you will have a 6 pack in notime the clearing saws would be better tho.

yes and my experience was a pain the big disc blades are ok for thick weedy sticks but once you get wood it kills the momentum.. im using power pruna Ht to sox that gorse once its dead as can reach in with out gitting spiked saw it off and rope rolled it away to burn pile

Nice area around there.

My mother's family originally settled around that area 150 odd years ago...I think they may have lived in Gaffneys Creek, but wherever it was there is nothing left of the town...the cemetery is still there and their tombstones are all that remains...well overgrown too.

yes but i just discovered its school holiday end of week duh i was hoping to avoid that as much nicer when you got all the river bends to yourself,,, the long range weather look supportive tho lets mark it pending
 
There were two carbs for the 2100/2101, hs12? has the governer, at one point they switched to the hs136c without the governer.

Does anyone have an idea how much it would cost to send a 30kilo engine from Melbourne to Queensland? What options are there?

Recently got a 100kg engine sent from Newcastle to here (SA) and it was around $200. Had the seller strap it to a small pallet, I think they prefer it that way. Most courier companies like TNT, Toll, etc should help you out. Pack and Send is another good one.
