Re: Busy weekend/pruning

Same here Theresa. My Fiskars pole pruner can reach 20 ft when extended
and is extremely lightweight. I can manage the pruning action when
extended, but I could never use the saw attachment at even the shorter
distance.

Hey Jim-
How big is the bar on your saw? Most I've looked at are 8-10 inches on 
the polesaws- which is plenty big enough.  Actually, If I could just get 
a regular chain saw that size, it would be perfect.  I'm sure I'll never 
use the pole- simply don't have the shoulder muscle strength to control 
something like that.
