I've been use this chainsaw tooth brush blade for about three weeks and am loving it. I'm using it on a Husqvarna 128LD 28cc string trimmer. It would work better on a 30cc or larger trimmer, but I wasn't wanting to buy something new.
I have bought 2 of these. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015N8AV02 They are legit terrifying. Super effective. And terrifying.
There are chainsaw blades for weed whackers.

You can find reviews of it online. This is one of the best review videos.

I'm not letting this thing anywhere near my ankles 😱
If you have the tools/knowhow to sharpen chainsaw chains, then get one that has chain saw teeth, not a carbide tooth. The carbide teeth aren't user sharpenable. I have this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015N8AV02
If you are tall-ish and not clumsy (I am neither), you might want to check this method out.
It would be easier than a lawnmower and you could cut the new growth much earlier / lower. The less green, the faster the mothership will die.
You attach a 9" round blade to a weed whacker and it cuts down brush.

I got all excited and bought this blade. But when I told my partner about it, he gave me *that* look and I realized it would be asking for trouble for 5' prone-to-daydreaming me to wield such a thing.
Thanks for the help!
Part of me wonders if I could go down to the 545 or 525 but given that it's a lot of small trees and I own 30 acres, I'm sure I'll get the use out of it. I assume you recommend sticking with the 555?
Also, what's your opinion on getting one of these blades instead? https://www.amazon.com/Forester-Chainsaw-Tooth-Brush-Bundle/dp/B015N8AV02/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=forestry+brush+blade&qid=1623429864&sr=8-3 I like that I could sharpen them since I have a chainsaw blade sharpener.
