Our Scout Troop has taken on some forest restoration and invasive abatement and my "home owner" grade pole saw may warrant significant upgrade.
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 Development and meditation. The Ryobi click system was not purchased by choice but what was offered as a warranty replacement for the previous POS string trimmer that I had. I purchased the pole saw attachment because I thought it would be useful but the steel extensions sections feel really heavy at the end of the day.
I am courting an telescoping powered pole pruner. Gas not electric... unless Milwaukee comes out with one then it will warrant batteries that I can use with other tools.
I am looking for max length and MIN weight for the money. Back roll would like to stay under 6-Franklins. Are the length measurements given to tip of guide bar or pole PTO?
