I dont use degreaser but I would dry it with a blower asap. Chains will flash rust really quickly.When cleaning your chain with degreaser then washing the degreaser off with water...
Do you dry it with a cloth then lube it or wait overnight till it completely dries out then lube it?
Or another method? Hair dryer? Microwave? Leave it out and pray to the sun god?
I use compressed air to blow dry the chain straight after the water and put some chain lube on later, otherwise the chain will start to rust like Dale said. It's not really recommended to degrease chains by a lot of manufacturers as it's hard to get the lube deep into the pins again.When cleaning your chain with degreaser then washing the degreaser off with water...

I used to work with a crew of guys that thinned regrowth radiata pines with brush cutters fitted with saw blades. They were all using the biggest Honda 4 stroke model available due to less noise, vibration and no 2 Stoke fumes. Might be worth checking out no idea on price though.Wasn't sure where else to ask this and didn't want to make a new thread for it but.
I've got a big, big brush cutting job coming up, i've gotta clear roughly 2 acres of land that is covered in blackberries and some other weedy plant, thick grass, etc than there's like half an acre of long grass that needs to be cleared off.
I've got an el cheapo chink one but it won't be cut out for this.
I'm just wondering, apart from husqvarna and Stihl are there other brands I should be looking at?
Budget i've set for this one is 900 dollarydoos, but I could stretch to 1k but would rather keep it in the 900 region.
assuming it's the model i looked at Honda say it's 700 bucks.I used to work with a crew of guys that thinned regrowth radiata pines with brush cutters fitted with saw blades.

Have used stihl and Honda commercially before and both are magic if professional quality, Honda gave me less buzzing and vibrations on the hand. Ol grumpy is right though, for that sort of job get a blade, piss off the harness, free balling should be OK for a few hours at a timeFixed that for you.
The Still FS260 is grand retail, might be able to get a deal from somewhere. Big motor and good power output.
Otherwise, any straight shaft with a 35cc motor or above would do it, but I'd recommend pissing off the line and going with a steel blade.

Good point, goat tastes a lot better than rabbit. But blackberries are yummier than either.Buy some goats.
I didn't even know you could steel cable for them?If you're cutting low and the ground is full of rocks you do not want a blade, use steel cable. If you start hitting rocks with a blade it will be useless in no time.
You just needs the right goats:I didn't even know you could steel cable for them?
I always assumed it was either thick nylon or the brush cutter/saw attachment.
Goats have been thought about for many a time but for how much I need cleared i'd need like 10 goats or something lol.
Plus the land isn't an easy paddock, it goes into a valley that has a running creek and spring.
