Tractors and wood! Show your pics

Ours came as a combo kit with the Poulan string trimmer. It's handy for clearing drooping branches hanging over our trails... the ones that poke you in the eye or scratch your head when you aren't looking. It works good on anything under 4". But it gets heavy after a while.

Yes sir, hate to elaborate, but it kinda is on topic. You can't tell, but in that fencerow, there is quite few large cedars, prickly vines, and some of the other things that are in old fencerows, that extra length the pole saw has verses using a chainsaw, kept us from getting poked and cut up. Possibly a eye out out! LUTT

Hey, that's the state tree! :laughing: They get huge in these parts. They are a lighter wood, so they burn up a lot faster. Use it in spring and fall when you don't want a long, hot fire, just something to warm the house up. :thumbsup:

Thanks Moss I was wondering how it was going to burn. I chopped up quite a bit of it for firewood all the same but I'm just trying to find places to get rid of it now I've got a ton more to get rid of.

Just the opposite... Skip the top handle and get a pole saw! Pole saws are great!

for my use I know I'd use the pole saw more. my cheapo non motorized pole saw /pruner has a lot of miles on it. I have lots of trees that I mow and brush hog around. seems like every two years I do major timing and spend hours doing so. I have to clear up around 9-10 feet to get my tractor under it and not have drooping branches hitting me in the face

I asked for and received a hand saw pole pruner for Christmas. While I like my powered pole saw, I also have about a dozen fruit trees that I prefer to trim by hand. So, now I got one of each.

I've got a Kombi Stihl with the Tree trimer brush cutter and hedge trimmer. It does a really good job.

I like the sweat powered kind, too, Moss. The Plant Manager got me a Silky pole saw for my birthday, bless her heart. After two days of effort, last Summer, I was able to lop the lower limbs off of the sugar maples that surround our front yard. Many of the limbs were 3 to 4 inches diameter at the cut. Over many years, the lower portions of the trees had become so densely leaved that they trapped the heat & humidity in the front yard, so the heat just hung there and it felt like dead air, even when there was a light breeze. That really helped to get some air movement going in the front yard. The grass is a lot happier with the increased sunlight, too.

If I had to trim a lot more, on a regular basis, or stuff 4" & up, I'd be looking hard at a powered pole saw.

Obligatory tractor content: the chipper attachment got a good workout, reducing the limbs to some nice mulch for the gardens, and having a trailer on the back of the chipper kept the chips off the lawn. Aside from some ag tire marks on the lawn, there wasn't much to clean up.

I have an Armstrong pole saw too. Every so often I go for a pole saw walk thru the woods and prune lower limbs on softwood trees. I do not feel the need to go to a fitness center. The pole saw is enough.

I have a Stihl HT131 pole saw, it's got some weight to it, but is a great addition to the saw arsenal. All of my saws are Stihl, but I have one Echo top handle which I got for a price I couldn't pass up. The little Echo is a great little saw, light and works well. The pole saw and top handle both have their place.
