I was refering to a Pole Saw, as in a saw on the end of a pole. Trust me, eighty feet up and doing a difficult cut at some wierd angle with a sixteen foot Pole Saw, you want the best blade you can get !
Skinny, I wasn't trying to up-stage you or hijack your post or whatever, just being a little "mouthy" for the potential benefit of the dozen's n' dozens of "
guest viewers" of this forum, most of which probably don't know as much about "tree trimmin" and/or "sawing wood" as you and I do. I guess it is just an old habit I can't seem to "break" given the fact that I was educated as a HS Teacher of the Sciences .... but only taught for 3 months after graduating.
Anyway, I have a "pole saw" hanging somewhere on a couple nails that I haven't used for a few years. Used it for trimming my fruit trees. And I know several guys, including 2 of the wife's nephews, who are truly "
experts" at tree trimming. They all work or worked for
Asplundh Services for years n' years, primarily trimming electric utility right-of ways.
And I know whatcha mean, I have watched several of those boys, at different times, swinging on a rope like a trapeeze artist, 80 to 100+ feet in the air, with a small chainsaw tied to their belt, and the limbs n' branches a falling like bowling pins as they "
cut their way toward the ground". The wife's nephew Pete, once cut a Walnut tree,
clear to the ground, that sat about 15 feet from the edge of my deck and which musta been 120 feet high. I sat there on the deck drinking beer and watched him do it.
Skinny, there are oodles n' oodles of trees to be trimmed and/or cut down iffen ya live in West Virginia. Cheers
