Oregon 4.0 x 300mm Mulching Brush Cutter Blade, 2 Tooth Shredder Strimmer Blade for Thick, High & Dense Vegetation, Fits All Brushcutters Including Stihl, Echo, Husqvarna, Echo & More (295505-0)

Fantastic bit of kit!! Used it many times for clearing over grown out of control areas! Especially good for brambles ect! Pretty much nothing left but mulch! Brilliant 🤩

I have this on my Stihl FS 131, and works well on my blackberry and bamboo that has taken over the back portion of my lot. It mulches well, which was what I was looking for and does not spray debris upwards like some of my other blades. A few years back I bought some Airecut blades, and found them phenomenal at chopping and mulching but I would be covered in brush shrapnel. For some cuts I still prefer the Airecut as it does not allow long grass to wrap and wind into the spindle, but for out and out brutal mulching this Oregon blade is the tool.My only concern is that I have noticed my Stihl takes a moment to spool up speed, and sometimes there is hesitation. I have weighed the Airecut at 500 gm and the Oregon comes in at a heftier 580 gm. So definitely a heavier blade. I have ordered in the 3 mm blades and will see if it will reduce the wear and tear on my Stihl's clutch compared with the 4 mm.Update: Received the 3mm blades, and significantly lighter. The 3 mm blade weighs in at 430 gm. On my Stihl FS 131, this 3 mm revs very quickly, none of the hesitation that was noticeable with the 4 mm and none of the occasional clutch chatter. Both blades are identical in dimensions other than the thickness.After a few months of using the 3 mm and the 4 mm blade, I must say that both blades have it's place. The 3 mm is a lighter blade, and find it a bit quicker for maneuvering. It spools very quickly and I find it less taxing on the arms when I crank the high branches. On the other hand, doing the ground mulching, the branches and debris can sometimes stall the blade. The 4 mm is a beast, and with it just cranked wide open it seems nothing will stop it, there is so much inertia from the blade in motion. I have noticed that the metal on both the 3 and the 4mm needs to be sharpened often, almost after every hour of use. I do grind a lot of 1/2 to 3/4 inch branches. I do have a dremel tool and sharpening is fairly quick.Some thoughts after 4 years of using these blades: 1. If your budget allows get the biggest engine you can to maximize the potential of these blades. 2. I have destroyed a 15 year old Toro 27cc crankshaft with the 3mm blade, seized up a clutch on a 5 year old 29cc Troybilt. Stick with good quality machines such as Stihl, Echos, etc. 3. Sharpen the blade often to get the most benefit with cutting and mulching. When the blade is dull it does seem to add extra load on the engine. 4. Put a cover over the blade and this allows for a better mulch while also preventing debris from flying into your face.

A real heavy duty brush cutter, I have used it to take down brambles and even small saplings, it reduces everything to a mulch so you can leave the waste on the ground and save on clean up time.

Excellent blade to use for cutting back brambles and rough areas like a wild meadow.Cuts back just about anything you put in front of it.Easy to fit.

I don’t often write reviews but just had to say this will eat 8ft brambles, 6ft buddleja and most other things like that. Wish I had seen this two years ago!

Very solid destroyed an overgrown weedy area. Needs a decent engine then hold on.

I had a lot of bramble and bracken to clear as well as long flattened grass that my strimmer and brush cutter blade wouldn’t touch. I was told to try one of these blades and it was brilliant. It’s turned my fairly cheap brush cutter into a unstoppable machine and it’s saved me hours of work. Not only did it tackle anything in its path it also mulches everything saving even more work raking and burning up. The best money I’ve spent in a long time.

An absolute game changer!! This is so much better than any other blade for cutting brash, brambles etc. A different action is required, rather than forehand and backhand sweeps you start vertical and bring the head down on your brambles. Instant pulverisation. It's less tiring and very productive. Brilliant piece of kit. I can't believe it took me so long to try it.
