The best pole saw is the Echo ppt280. @KenJax Tree. @fordf150 . There is numerous threads and reviews on line. 158'' reach. but you can buy a 4' extension and get over 16'..... plus the user's height.

Have anyone near you with a boom mower? That's what I use I charge by the hour 100$ that's fair but it only needs done every 5 year or so if you could find someone around to do it might be worth your free time just a thought I work w people on price on big jobs
Lol I'd deny as well that's the one machine no one can run for me they're a lil different hell I'll let someone run my bine but not my mower ask him an hourly rate? If he's good you can do a lot in an hours time Not sayin I'm good ... May be worth the hire or may not
The kubota dealer here rents one.No, no one in our area has one.
It is actually quite surprising after watching my buddy using one on ditch banks and seeing what they are capable of.
They destroy branches quick and leave little mess to actually clean up
I had a 266 a couple of years ago. After trimming all my limbs, I sold it to the township.I talked to my dealer, I'm set on a echo after trying it. There is no comparison to that vs the stihl 4-mix saw I've used in the past.
Now I need to decide what model I want. He says he sells a ton of the 266's. He said he rarely sells any 280's. The only reason being is that the 266 is a few pounds lighter.
After handling the 266, I can see how a few extra pounds could make a huge difference.
Good business opportunity RossNo, no one in our area has one.

i have a ht131.its 7 years old and still going good.bought a ht100 two stroke but havent used it much.bought it used at the dealer.would like to try the newer ht250.....wait i got an fs250....duh!
Notice, no flippy is on the gas tank.I got this used off ebay ,it has a lot of tourque ,same chassis as the ht 131 ,i can reach a ways up limbing 16-18 feet maybe when extended ,it has plenty of power to cut limbs as big as the bar if needed ,is a little heavy when extended all the way out, i was torn between this and the full 2 stroke
The husky end the echo do not extend as long as the stihl which is why i picked the stihl
