Buy a straight shaft weedwacker and use a saw blade. YOu can cut up

straight shaft. Do not try it with an bent or angle shaft trimmer as
it will not hold up to the saw blade and will self destruct in no time
as it has a felxible shaft and not a solid driveshaft as the straight
shaft have.


I've got a Sears brushwacker/weedeater made by Poulan that's about
12yo. I use the cheap 7.5" & 8" carbide tipped saw blades on it and
have cleared several acres of heavy undergrowth and small trees up to
4". I doubt the newer Poulans would hold up to that much use but mine
is still going strong.
