The following are pictures of a electric pole saw that has cut branches at the 24' level. If you are wondering why I have this in a tractor site it is because we all have long drives. This is prototype #3, #1 used the extension pole with a recipating saw but it was too slow. #2 was a 12" electric chain saw on a wooden pole too heavy, and way too much power.
I purchased the Remington pole saw and took it apart to make the single pole trimmer. It works well and the largest limb I have cut was 7" at 17' in the air will standing on the ground. Going to the second pole will let me get to max 26' and that is the limit.I have the post of (5" chipper shredder on garden tractor power) , and now have the chipper back together. I power the pole saw from my portable generator. The prepartation to cut is slow as I need some ground crew. The actual cut is 15 seconds for a 2" limb and the electric saw is very nice for that. The 7" limb I only cut 3/4 the way through as I need to get back and break the limb by grap or rope.
In this way I can keep the drive trimmed back, which helps in the winter with the heavy snow. If there are any questions I will answer.
