trail clearing technique and tools

[ArlyA]

Well, ya. I'm using my baby sized cordless Makita saws when we head into the field these days. Love those little things Still need and use those pole saws as well. (gas)

From usage I can't say enough good things about either my 20 volt DeWalt chainsaw or the pole saw. Yes there's some negatives but this isn't a cordless saw review thread, more of how impressed and grateful I am with what I learned reading this thread about using a pole saw for cutting limbs on a felled tree or small stuff. Both my back and friends backs thank you .

Still plan to work on trails over the weekend.

Do you have a part number for the Stihl 4 string head?

I don't have its number since we get them from our dealership. Having said that, they may be off the market until they change its plastic cover. We broke ours twice and my dealer seemed to know about this issue. If this helps, as far as I know, they only make one cam lock type head.

My dealer can't seem to find them, they only have the 2 string version.

Can you post a picture of it? I didn't know of that version but maybe its for lower powered heads. It does take HP to spin these. Here is a picture of a echo and sthil.

I didn't think to take a picture but it looks exactly like your 4 string just with 2 instead.

How often do you find branches/trees across the trail in the winter due to wind or snow load?
