Chris your pole saw was upside down in your garage! Best clean out the spongey filter to keep things right! It may sound a bit spluttery:)

Before and after pics of the tree and a cross section of the rot within the stem would help.

Hi Eddie, thanks for all that info, yes this little machine has hydraulics galore as it was a high specked machine that never got sold. Everything you say makes sense from what I can see but the bit that doesn't tick the box for me is if i turn a tap to work the grab then I can't put any angle on the grab when in use, I would need to set the angle that suits best and then lock it off, which I don't want. If could get the rotation or open /close put onto that rocker switch instead of the Cat foot pedal that would be great as its awkward to us on the heel. When the new hitch and diverted valve turn up the little foot pedal can get mounted where I like, so I will put it further forward. I'm really impressed with the power, it's got. Some of those big timbers today were about 2 ton and moved them about effortlessly.

Andy you seem to have built an image in your head of someone using it to do shoddy work:001_rolleyes: I've done work in large crowns where the tree has been butchered by our little grey tree rats, I would need to have an anchor point about 4" thick to get out to some points that are dead to avoid BT lines and fences. Storm damage as well . I simply bring up the pole saw, use it to get the tricky stuff, send it down or jam it up, use my top handle to take the remaining limb/ branch and move on! Our trees on the west coast here are very different from a lot of trees I see down in Rural England where they have room to grow. Most of my work is on neglected coppice on steep bankings or dead elms that are like powder! As Andy Dupane said to the Governer of Shawshank, your being very Obtuse:001_tt2:
