    Stihl HT 101Pole Saw Help

    A group used my pole saw in a response this weekend. And this happened. And yes I’ve learned a lesson. My equipment only goes if I am there with it. I’m Thinking it was overextended by a novice. Will this need to go to a shop for repair? I welcome any advice. Thanks!

    Stihl HT 75

    Hope someone can help. I'm not an arborist just found the site searching for info. Just bought an old ht 75 that is in decent shape except for the internals of the pole assembly. One bearing is shot and the others are sloppy. The serial number tag is illegible but from what I can tell it is...

    Still HT131 chain not spinning when extended

    Hello all, I am troubleshooting a Stihl HT131. It works fine when the pole is retracted however when you extend it out all the way the chain does not spin. I took apart the shaft and couldn't see anything obvious. The star ends of the shaft seem fine as well as the bearings. The female ends...

    Scraping Wound Wood

    I'm in the process of trimming dead branches from my oaks with either a manual or power pole pruner. Many of the branches are bare of bark down to the trunk where the tree has distinctively protected itself by growing a ring of wound wood around the bare branch. Often, in an effort to trim the...

    Begin pruning from ground using pole saw or wait until able to climb?

    I'm in the process of reclaiming a few acres of a wild woodland of mature oaks. I think it would be beneficial to prune dead limbs of the oaks. There are alot of oaks and alot of dead limbs. My pruning tactics to date have involved employing the tallest pole saws I could find on the parts of...

    Gas Powered Pole Saws in Bucket Lifts

    Love my Silky pole saws, thinking of bucking up the 600 dollars for a Stihl motorized version for those all day pin oak pruning from a bucket jobs. Seems a bit unwieldy - curious if you guys like um in that application or is it like wearing kilts to work and just not a great idea...

    Stihl FS120 FarmerTec Copy of the Powerhead and Controller

    I have been wanting a pole saw and a dedicated bush cutter so I got this to use one way or the other. I got it unsure of the handle mount since the huztl.net website does not show that aspect. So I decided I would sort all that out once I got it in my hands on it. It is a very well made 2 cycle...

Yesterday I spent the better part of the day cutting out invasive bush honeysuckle and vines along a section of land used by our Church for Spiritual...

    Stihl Fs55r pole saw?

    I am trying to see if purchasing a Hutzl pole saw gearbox to make my Stihl Fs55r a small pole saw is a viable idea? I don't have a bigger powerhead unit yet (too cheap) and am trying to see if I can make this setup work. I am aware that the fs55r has a flex shaft inside, which is why I am wary...

    my custom pole saw head

    Today I built a custom head for a pole saw. I modified a Phoenix head with adapter from Spyderman. Problems with the stock head are loose attachment of the casting to the adapter and excessive weight. I had shimmed pieces of aluminum can between the adapter and head, but they worked themselves...

    4 Mixers or 2 stroke (HT131 vs HT75)

    Well I have the chance to pick up an HT131 for a decent price used it only has about 4 tanks through it per the owner and from the pictures I can believe it. We are agreed at 400. Im a little hesitant as I don't have much experiance with the 4 Mixers. In the past I've sought out the 2 stroke...
