[David Goss]

when is a polesaw needed in a tree? apart from doing line clearance?

 

I know some guys who'll get nice and comfy in the middle of a tree the fire away with the poles, mostly dead wooding that is:p

 

im in that school

 

me too

yea both is still needed but the pole saw can save you a lot of messing around and for deadwooding its the doggys proverbials. I use the silky zubat pole saw cos the blade is bendy and you can cut at weird angles with it. I always have it with me on every job, sometimes i use it and sometimes i dont but i would hate to not have it with me.

Buy a Multisling, a Pinto pulley and a Revolver.

Cheaper than a Silky ... more fun for sure...

 

Guess you can add a couple of oval carabiners too and still you don't reach the price of their polesaws.

I wouldn't waste the monney on a silky in my experience pole saws and the poles get abbused pulling hangers out , sling on back of the truck wolf garten? The red poles are just as good and alot cheaper I think!

Me to,I find moving around a tree with pole saw so much hassle,like to keep me climbing skills fresh and exciting,cannot be doing with standing in the crown with a pole saw,even dead wooding:001_smile:

 

On the ground I use the soild aluminium poles OR silky telescopic, depends on the job.

 

For climbing I would recommend the telescopic, not as tough as rigid poles but lighter and less cumbersome. Climbing around with a Samuari hand saw does it for me though:thumbup:

The 'fred marvin' poles look the same as the 'jameson' ones.

 

I do prefer to climb around the tree where i can, but occasionaly the poles do come in very handy to reach some awkward branches.
