3020U Brush Saw

[Kerfed]

Upgraded my brush cutter this week and I am impressed with this 30cc class Echo. Running a mulching head on it for a nasty clearing job: woods choked with burningbush, multiflora rose, barberry, hawthorn, bittersweet vine mixed throughout chokecherry and ash saplings.

The anti-vibe is pretty good for the abuse I’m feeding it, torque is phenomenal, throttle response is snappy. Only a handful of tanks in so it may get even better. Not super heavy (13.2 dry without cutter) and a servicable harness but not great. Fires up like an echo and re-starts easily. This would be a good one for early PCT, invasives, or basic clearing. $450 with trimmer head, harness, and saw attachment hardware.

So how does that cutting attachment work? All I see up here is saw blades and scratcher teeth

It is a mulching blade which you can go top down on brush and it chops it up vs a normal blade. Works very well but throws some serious debris. It will cut through 1-2” in a sweep motion depending on species or can do a few nibbles and cut up to 3” pretty easily.

You need this harness. I have the 2620u and I love it!

Really is. This is a nasty job from last summer. Woods choked with burning bush and other invasives. That mulching head cut and chopped 8’ tall snarles all day long. Man did that job suck, freaking acres.
