Needing to prune a ton of tree limbs on a piece of property I'm moving to in a few weeks. Actually looking forward to it.
Wow, the prices range from $150 to over a thousand.
Hqv, Remington, Poulon,Echo. Lots of choices and prices.
This Board always educates me.

I bought one of those electric pole saws from harbor freight. Let me tell you, that damn thing chews thru limbs.

I have a Stihl. It's the fixed pole version. I used it all the time especially in the woods around deer stand. No complaints.

I've always thought electric was for twigs. I'll consider it. Can it do 4-6 inch limbs?

Hadn't thought about Stihl. Will check them out.

I have a harbor freight electric pole saw and also a gas pole saw. I grab the HF electric every time if electricity is available. It's lighter than the gas one. I have abused the shite out of HF one and if I tear it up I can buy another one for $70. Keep the chain sharp and it will cut with quickness.

I have the stihl telescoping pole, it's heavy extended out but has been a great unit for 4yrs now

I didn't realize there was the fixed vs telescoping pole choice.

No problem. The HF one has a 9 1/2" bar. I have cut oak limbs 10-12" but you have to cut from both sides of the limb.

I have one as well. Had been thinking about buying one, then happen to get a HF sales paper in the mail with a coupon for the polesaw. I've used the shite out of it.

My wife got me the fixed version for Father's Day 4 years ago. My inlaws have the telescopic version and it's very heavy like someone else said.
Posted on 6/13/17 at 8:02 pm to Hatcher Hall Shrink
Yes, I can't remember what length it is but atleast 16ft
Posted on 6/13/17 at 8:10 pm to Hatcher Hall Shrink
I have a stihl.

Don't get too ambitious with it.
It takes WAY longer to drag than cut. If you spend half a day on a pole saw, you've got a pretty big job ahead of you.
