njc110381 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 This is well off topic, but then what is the off topic section for right? I've just bought a weird new blade for my disc cutter. Never seen one before but it cuts wood, sheet metal, old tyres, pretty much anything you can throw at it. Up until now getting tree stumps out has been a job for an expensive stump grinder that's also really heavy and hard to get into tight spots. Now though, this blade sorts them out with ease. You can cut into soil to get the roots, hit stones/nails/old fence wire and it doesn't matter unlike with a chainsaw. Well worth a look if you do this line of work. I'm not involved in a company selling them or anything. I've just bought one and it's not that often I'm this impressed with a tool. It costs about the same as a days hire of a stump grinder and I've been attacking a 3' round Beech stump with it for half the day and it's not showing any signs of wear at all. It really is great!

njc110381 Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yeah that's them. I wish I'd seen them sooner. I've been landscaping for ten years and I've wanted something like this since day one! I was considering the rescue chain for my chainsaw, but they need sharpening and nobody local does it.

paulf Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) How quick does it cut? If it cuts relativly quick then it would be a usefull tool for me particularly for fencing work eg breaking up old panels etc. BTW for cutting slighlt soiled logs I use oregon multicut, slightly more expensive with a thicker crome plating, lasts a good bit longer than standard chain Edited August 21, 2009 by paulf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
