Stihl 4 mix vs Echo 2 stroke

Nice pole saw but you ain't going to keep up with me on 3-12" stuff Bubba. BUT thanks for posting cause we do carry in a manual pole saw for real high work and I'm going to buy one of those.

But you ain't going to keep up with him on stuff 20" high.

And he won't keep up with me on the small stuff like I showed in the video stuff lugging that heavy saw around.

On the other hand, a Jameson set up costs as nearly as much as a powered pole saw and so each to their own.

Do you know what the different colors mean on the Jameson poles?

I don't find 20lbs heavy but understand that some might. When trimming high branches I might spend maybe an hour, unlike the handle time on a chainsaw which may be 8 to 10 hours a day. I have the combi so the powerhead is also used for other tools. The hand pruners are great but not for 6"+ limbs in my book. If 20lbs is heavy for an hour, maybe eat your Wheaties that day?

20lbs Ten feet away gets heavy fast.

Holding the whole pole saw 10' away would be an issue but I don't see the relevancy. Holding it as you would when using it with the powerhead behind you and the pole extension in front of you is how it is typically used.

That's an option as well. It certainly isn't 20lbs at 10'
