Default Chain Saw On A Stick

Yours might be lighter then mine I've got the Stihl version where you
use the motor for multiple attachments and I have the bigger one. With
one extention and the saw extension I'm good for about 20 minutes then
it's rest the back. Some of it is from my disability injuries. A tree
guy I do some excavator work and hauling for went to using a Japenese
saw on an extension pole instead of the power version. I miss when I
worked being able to bring an 80' boom truck home with a bucket and
top controls.


I have a Cub Cadet 4 cycle model. Heavier than the two cycle engines, but
I've always found it to be manageable since the weight is at the bottom of
the unit. Mine is like yours - two piece shaft that you can put different
attachements on. I have the tiller attachement - works great to cultivate
the garden, string trimmer, brush trimmer, chainsaw.

80' boom truck? Tell me you just brought it home and parked it in the yard
to look cool. Tell me you didn't really get up in that sucker...
