Tree pruning in the PNW

[2manyrocks]

For the cost and convenience of a battery powered pole saw, spend the money. IMO. If you already have a trimmer that accepts attachments, even a pole saw attachment is only something like $70 on Amazon. Great for brush clearing because you can stick the power head through the brush to cut without having to fight your way through the brush.

good point. am currently cleaning pond margins of green briar and wild rose thorn bushes with the pole saw from a distance. mine is a gas powered for extended use, although i can see the convenience of cordless for smaller jobs. a manual pole saw for that application would be useless, regards

I use to get way up on my extension ladder to put Christmas lights up on a two story house. Got that scared feeling and have not put the lights up in years. Several years ago I bought a "skid lift" for my JD110 TLB. This is what I use to trim trees or to access the house and shop roof.

the above setup i think is the best one so far on this thread, although expensive for me since my limbing is minimal. what was the price of it if you don't mind?

is there no replies to a couple quotes or is it just my computer?

it's the nature of social medial that's sometimes silent. sounds like you have done admirable first responder service, well done

on a safety tangent, lots of safety issues on the horrific Swiss bar fire. where were your namesake, sprinklers? lots on unanswered question. it's one thing to jeopardize one's own safety, but collective safety negligence of an owner is unacceptable.

I have a lot of redwood and fir trees on the property. This skid-lift makes it a breeze to cut large or small limbs in a safe manner. This particular model will reach 20 feet. Years ago I paid 11,000.00. Since Covid, prices for almost everything have gone through the roof. I’m sure the model I have has gone up to 13,000.00 or higher. BTW…this company has other models that go higher. Check out “Skid-Lift.com.”

well you're in good health now, so one can't put a price on that. in terms of budget, a lot depends whether it's for personal or commercial use. i work solitary, a big risk in itself, but always mindful of the safety police. i'll be selling my 49 yr old estate this Spring, so risk goes down. until the next bend, regards

That’s slick….ive never seen such a thing. That TLB has plenty of beef to balance that rig.
