I need a 15 - 20 ft pole saw for trimming a few rather high limbs. I have an 8ft pole with electric chain saw purchased back in 2000. It works fair but is way too short and of course too heavy on the end for a longer pole.
In reading reviews of pole saws, there seems to be a divide between the below $100 (bang for the buck) versus $200 models -Silky/Jamesons, (you get what you pay for). But sometimes I don't always trust Amazon reviews for some reason.
Anyone have some suggestions? The Silky also has an optional rope lopper? head that could be used on 2 inch limbs way up high. Not sure if this and a hign end pole saw will meet my imagination of what it can do.
This is something that I have needed for the trees around our house for years. I have seriously considered asking an aquaintance with a bucket lift to help but the prices he asks of others is outlandish. For me - No major limbs, just 3 inch or so that extend out over a roof and several limbs that are resting on a guy-wire stretched between non-electric utility poles that need to come down. The city won't cut them and neither will the electric company, who says that is not electric.
Suggestions and experiences for long pole saws? Aluminum or fiberglass?
