More trail clearing photos taken today.

Over the last couple of days I cleaned off about 900 feet of trees, limbs, multi floral roses and bushes that had grown over a section of my pasture fence. Using the Echo PAS with the pole saw and brush cutter attachments sure made the work easier than just using a chainsaw. I have about 400 feet to go then the clean up begins. There's going to be a mountain of brush to move.

Here's a pic of part of the work.

Thanks for posting photos of your handy pole saw work Houser. We need more photos! I could critique your cuts. Do you want me to??

You are suppose to cut all branches at the tree trunk, whenever possible... Its better for the tree, and for cosmetics.

Thanks for the info. I try to do that whenever it's safe and I can reach up next to the tree to make the cut. Some of those limbs were so big, long and hanging down I could only reach so far.

I hate multiflora rise with a passion. It’s about like covering yourself in tuna and being attacked by a dozen Hungary cats.

They are wicked! That's where the pole saw is worth it's weight. You can reach in to make a cut without tearing the skin off your arms.

Yep. Got that covered already. A grapple used along with a landscape rake should make the work bearable.
