I hope this shows people just how much utility you can get out of a pole saw. If only one saw can go out with us, it will be one of those. :thumbsup:
Yes^^, I just burned what I had cut in a weeks time. I had about 50 grapple piles to run to the burn pile so I burned one night into the next morning. I don't know how I did it before I had a grapple!
A few years ago I was going to my sister's house to do some cleanup work, so bought a pole saw attachment to go on my father's Stihl Kombi power head. What a handy tool! Only a tiny chain and 12 " bar, yet I was cutting oak limbs as big as my leg. My only concern was if I pinched the bar when it was 6 feet over my head, so I ensured that it didn't happen. The downside is that it was a borrowed power head, so now I have the saw with no way to use it here. I did use it when I went down and pruned apple trees though, and it carved 4 hours into one.
Just out of curiousity, what trails are you cutting? it seems like you spend a lot of time doing it.:
Pole saws are really great when you go into a new area where there痴 low spreading trees like Mesquite or cedar and you want to limb them up without having to crawl in between the branches to get to the trunk (especially if there痴 prickly pear growing around the base).
You were younger then. Now you've paid your dues, and letting Mr Hydraulics assist you. :thumbsup:
