Stihl HT101 vs Husky 326P5X pole pruners
Comments (2)I have been looking at these and wanted to try one first so went to Home Depot for a rental of one. I did not know what brand they offered as rentals. They have Echo brand power pruners and I like them best because of the location of the handle. It is on top and really makes a big difference in the perceived weight of the machine and the balance. Seems a lot easier to handle than the others which seem really heavy. It would be worth looking at if you are near a Home Depot....See MoreGreen Thumb Pole Pruner Saw?

Comments (3)yumgman, there is a company selling a pretty nice pole pruner on ebay. It's a china made unit but I think it's pretty good. I bought one and of course paid more then most have been selling for since. LOL. Most of them are going for 130.00 + or -. Anyway, it's called Maxtra and is 95" reach. I've been using mine for the last three days trying to thin my trees out since we have some tropical systems that might be threatening my state (Florida). I'm sure there are better units but so far I'm happy wiith the 30cc power and 10" bar. If you check them out, post your thoughts....See MoreAnybody use a pole pruner?
Comments (10)yeah i use one ... more of the snipper part .... as you note.. it is near impossible on larger branches.. the angle NEVER seems proper ... and boy is it hard on your neck and shoulders.. just a type of motion that is not normal ... i think part of your problem.. is letting go of your kids .... what are you going to do when its 30 feet tall .. climb again 50 feet?? 90 feet??? i recently got one of those little giant ladders.. to 17 feet i think ... can barely hoik that thing around .... but when a tree gets beyond that ... well ... free range comes to mind ... you cant move in with the real kids and watch over them into their 30'.. 40's.. 50's ..... at some time.. you are going to have to let your trees do their own things ... ken Here is a link that might be useful: link...See Morecanguy
