Home made shearing blade

Rome KG,

Here is your chance Rome. Help out "Pioneernorth" and coach him on how to convert that old blade into one of your slick stump disintegrators! Surely you have tackled a few well frozen in stumps back there in Ohio!

Ok Ok calm down!, lol The blade would have to have a flat cutting edge, with the ground, at least 1 1/2" thick and the point on the left hand side should be at least 2" thick with a long tapered point about 8-10". The only thing is the push braces are very light for a clearing blade on the angle blades.

Great pics Rome KG. I have never seen an actual kg blade in real life. They are rare in these parts. Question is am I actually gaining enough to make it worth all that work and/or money. Looking for some responses on actually using these things. I don't need it for chiselling down huge trees. Mainly for cutting off 4 to 5 inch spruce. I see the Weldco version at Ritchies is up to 8250 before auction fees this morning. Add a couple grand for trucking and I can damn near buy another cat for that much! Is the job it does that much different than just the angle blade?

Pioneernorth,

Check out a website called the perfect tree saw, i tried to buy a used one for my 6C a year ago but lost the bid. I have a buddy that has the smaller version on a Deere compact track loader and likes it. I have never run one myself but they look pretty heavy built and priced right. Hope this may help. Cody.

i second the perfect tree saw. they are awesome especially if you don't mind leaving the stump.

Those tree saws are ok for little stuff, When you get into hard trees and tangled brush and have to get the roots out, nothing beats a K/G blade, I have used Rome blades for 30 years and my dad for 45. Great for ditch bank clearing and getting stumps split up small and the dirt breaks off the roots so they burn up fast. Only disadvantage is rocky soil, dents the sharp edge. Yes the shearing edge is much better the blunt angle blade edge.

I think if you refab the angle blade with the flat shear edge it may work for you. Keep searching the net, Machinery Trader, Iron Planet, Rock and Dirt. Try Crawford Jarvis in Georgia, he may have something, 770 748-8000

This is the tree trunk from that six foot across stump, weighed 32,000 lbs, 35' long. 2nd pick is of me my grandson and son, fourth pic is my daughter and I taken 2015 and my sister and dad taken around 1968. Saw is a Stihl 090 with 59" bar.
