    Default Best pole saw

    Is there an “off brand” that decent or go with one of the bigger name brands? Really not wanting to drop 600 but don’t want to be replacing it in a year either.

    Stihl
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Stihl. Don’t pour crappy gas in and it will love you forever. The HT 101 is a machine.

    Shindaiwa. Buy the combi system - m262 head and string trimmer attachment. Then buy the pole saw attachment. That way you are using the power head regularly when you use it as a weed eater, then you’ll have the pole saw when you need it.

    Stihl isn’t the brand they were a decade ago. Shindaiwa, redmax, and echoX (not the box store echo line) are all better products IMO.

    Anybody tried the Milwaukee M18 cordless pole saw? I’m thinking about giving it a shot.

    I borrowed a Stihl to limb a few trees and now I want my own. They will make a mess to clean up in a hurry.

    Funny you ask...you would not believe the amount of wood I cut up today with this...

    I got it to cut around the hunt club - I wanted something that wasn't gas powered so I could use it and hunt without the gas/oil fumes in my deer hunting clothes. But, a giant maple tree feel on my son's property during the storms this week. I was able to almost completely de-limb it into fire-place sized chunks (except for the main trunk) on one battery charge. It's pretty amazing what I was able to do with a battery powered "chain saw".

    Stihl ht131! Worth the extra 50 bucks over the 103 because of the old style metal head.
