3/4" may be too much, but I use a hedge trimmer on my Stihl Kombi for trail clearing. 1/2" soft wood limbs are no prob.

Mine doesn't adjust, it's straight, but works excellent. I just walk the trail and swing it up and down as I'm going.

I use that same Stihl Kombi on my trails, but sitting in my air conditioned cab with that Samurai on the bucket would be a lot easier....

FWIW, I started a new thread about the Samuri/Sabre to see if anyone here has used it, and to get feedback on same. It's : Sickle bar anyone own one of these? Samuri/Saber sickle bar cutter.

For $40 to $50 you could buy a pretty good pair of pruners that would do the job just about as fast and easy as anything else. If you want to get real fancy, just about any chainsaw would cut soft wood that size without even trying. If you want to spend more money and you don't care for standing on the roof of something, there are some pretty decent pole pruners out there for under $200
Keep It Simple and you'll get more done, faster and cheaper.

Built this last year. I've cut miles of trails and driveway with it. I've cut branches approaching 6 inches with it when clearing fence lines for friends and family. It uses a hydraulic motor, a saw arbor and a 12" blade. All in all, a very simple build. That video was my first cut, and admittedly I was slow and tentative. Now I can cruise along pretty fast. No way someone could keep up with a pole saw or pruner.
