I value opinions here from real experience.
Yesterday I cut some oak tree limbs I'm guessing 20 ft. up or more. I used tractor FEL bucket to get me at least 10' up, then a.c. electric pole saw. This is a Harbor Freight $69 special...works but they don't last, I might get 20-30 hours use before they quit.
I have a good (Fiskars I think) hand pole saw.
So two things I'm interested in. One is a rope saw, you toss (a sandbag?) over limb and it has a chainsaw like blade. Then manually saw. The other would be ac, battery or gas powered (Stihl?) longest pole saw.
Thanks any advice/brand.
