Good trimming method. You forgot to mention that the first cut is to prevent the limb from peeling down into the trunk when it falls.

Thank You Brother for this Demo and Explanation of this saw & Thank You for your Service aswell .! US Army Veteran Here 🤜🏽🤛🏽🤘🏽😉

I’ve been picked on for using the Husqvarna helmet while wielding a Stihl product...I’m glad I’m not the only one cross brand dressing ;-)

Love your channel. I’ve commented before, but you do a great job showing and explaining things. Much appreciated.

Thanks Josh you just made my mind up on this saw. I'm 67 and need a lightweight pole saw and easy storage. I have the Farm Boss chainsaw and it is an awesome saw but too heavy for me with me being 150 pounds and should have bought less saw but didn't listen to the Stihl salesman who tried to sell me a 170 and now I have a beefy saw but pay after each use. I also have Stihl trimmer I love the easy pull start system of stihl products. I want to thank you for a very nice demo video.

The gent says all the great of it Shows us how Really shows us how (solid teacher btw) And he has a darn nice ranch. I’m going to go buy one tonight!! Thanks man

Not only that it pinches your saw, it also prevents the branch from ripping bark from the trunk of the tree as it is tipping down from the main part of the tree. But i'm glad you said under cut first, then cut down from the top, that will prevent tearing of bark from the main part of the tree. Nice job Josh. Your farm looks so great.

Love your videos! My 5 year old granddaughter watches KZfaq videos with me when she visits and she always wants to watch the "Crazy Farmer". You are her favorite. Her favorite used to be Wranglerstar, but you have taken his place!

I don't know if mine is the same as mine, which is a Kombi system. The pole saw is amazing I love it. It keeps my trees pruned neatly and I have also pruned many friend's trees. Money well spent.

Yeah the 3 cut method is the best way to trim branches off a tree - you don't get any tearing of the bark down the trunk so the wound heals faster , never do a single cut !

Thanks. You know I'm liking everything about your channel. It's light, practical with useful information, and entertaining. Like the music too! Best of luck in your efforts.👍🏽

Thanks Josh, I appreciate your insight. I have been debating on a purchase of a pole saw. Great information, please keep it up. You have given me a ton of information regarding my property. Thank you!

It's good to know you like your pole pruner aa I just bought one, same model. Thank you for the review.

I just purchased the Stihl HT 56C Pole Saw and love it. Thanks for the video review. keep up the good work.

Just got me one of those and I can't wait to use it! Thank you for showing me how!

Thank you for the product review. I like your cutting technique. Be careful not to cut the branch off too close to the trunk. Leave the branch collar. Thanks again.

I have debating this or the HT 131. Good review with technique. You also showed the height at which the saw can reach. I would have liked to have seen how the small 10" bar with chain cut the a larger branch.

I’m getting the commercial version tomorrow. Can’t wait! Tired of getting slapped in the face when mowing. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the video. You can sure get a lot of work done with a good Stihl saw and a nice JD with the grappler on front! Reminds me of growing up down in GA.

With the quality of videos you put out your channel is sure to grow. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your content & presentation style.

Stihl saw and a Husky hardhat. Safety first Josh. Whoo!

your technics is the right way to do the pruning.

Chainsaw “blade,” chair force t-shirt. Makes sense.

love your videos and humor. keep up the good work

I'm sold....Got the basic power head...NOW time to add the tree pruner to my tool wall !

Helpful video and a good review of the pole saw.

Thanks I'm currently shopping for a pole saw

Great Demo!! I've been looking at these saws and now you have me leaning towards this one due to being much lighter than the commercial ones. The newest ones are named 56C-E not sure what the difference would be.... I need to keep my trees trimmed up to 13 to 14 feet. Have you tried using the HT 56C on a good step ladder? I'm 5' 10", looks like I would have to go up a couple steps. Thanks again! Great Job in presentation and Cutting!!

I would want one more if it extended out further and didn't weigh so much. I really like my Oregon 40v battery operated one which actually has surprising power with the 9" chain. In fact it seems to kick butt over the 16" Oregon battery operated one which is a bit of a dud although for maybe up to 6" stuff not so bad. I may get the Stihl one anyway seems pretty rugged.

Nice video! After spending the day on a cheap electric pole saw I've had for a number of years I'm thinking really hard about getting one of these.

Doesn't seem nearly long enough. 7'? I need maybe 18' to keep me out of the trees and on the ground.

Great vid. Seems luke ur sacrificing pecans

i like your videos my friend! i always learn something!

Yeah I got the Husqvarna 525lk trimmer with pole saw attachment

I just got one today, Great video

Thanks buddy! Just bought one

I need one of these for my next road rage in counter

Great Vid, Josh, and luv u rick flair imitation and guitar, ur bud Paul from the boro

Thanks helped me decide to buy this saw

Very nice saw

Great video a expert at this

great job

Excellent video, just bought one.

Funny most people never mention doing a undercut with a pole saw!

Nice video. Thanks for the advice. If it’s good for your nice farm should be good for my nine acre lot.

When pruning trees, even if it's just a canopy lift, you never want to prune off over 25% of the trees foliage. 25% from an arborcultural stand point is an extreme maximum, and a experienced knowledgeable arborist will try to keep it between 10 to 15%. This insures it doesn't shock the tree and stress it out so bad. Trees have a chemistry that controls things like growth rates and growth patterns, alot like people do, and once you cross a threshold of environmental streesors, many organisms including trees, will never fully recover to maintain a normal chemistry. When pruning, less is more, and it's better to do heavy prunings over a period of years to keep everything within acceptable margins. Most people don't realize when you over prune a tree, it completely messes up the trees chemistry, and as a result the tree will go crazy with growth, often times creating a high maintenance situation, which ironically is what most people are trying to avoid. The layman won't typically see a noticeable difference over pruning on a canopy lift, as it forces growth upward, but the chemistry shift could cause the upper canopy branching structure, problems further down the road, from the chemistry being out of balance. Which would cause a growth pattern that's less than optimal. Examples would be speed up growth and over excessive growth in the upper canopy, creating weaker attachments of lateral branching, thinner weaker brances, over sprouting of lateral branches creating more deadwood, and the natural die back of those over abundant branches being out of sync with the trees optimal structure for long term integrity. Food for thought when doing tree work!

Any reason you didn't stick with the Husqvarna equipment? I have a husky Rancher 455 and my local farm Co-Op just started stocking the Husky equipment. I looked at their pole saw but haven't made a decision yet.

I need to pick one up myself thanks for the vid

Thank you!

Hey Josh......how do you get a one armed man out of a tree.........A:..........Wave to him.......Wooooooooo #340 here

Very nice video

Nice video, I'm going to buy one of those.

I am going to get one of these saws for my place. Just wondering what model and year that John Deere tractor is? I really like the loader and grapple on it. Can it handle that mower pretty good too?

On the fence of getting this one or the cheapest professional one. Do you feel like you were able to cut any size limb you needed and do you felt like it was long enough to cut high things?

Thank you, so how do you cut some tall tree brunches *on a ladder * , with a reciprocating saw ? I need to climb on the ladder to take the tops off? The tree tops, of course.

Good video bud!

Hi, sounds like the alcohol flows freely there.lol...thanks for tips..😁

I enjoyed the video!

Josh - Would you consider the electric version vs maintaining another finicky two stroke engine? Thanks for your service! I'm currently shopping for one to help maintain our trails and am considering going electric.

Josh- Can one add and extension on this saw like you can the same priced Echo? Also I noticed that the bar on your saw looks different that the bar on my new one, mine is more pointed. Can I put a longer bar on this saw like the12" ? OR is there a more blunt one like the one you have? Thanks great video

be interested to see what you say now that its been almost 5 years.

But...I don't wanna cut my nub off.

Good video thanks

If stihl is so good, why aren’t they mentioned when you google best pole saws to buy?

I have a Poulan Pro that I bought last year. The dang thing just won't stay running... It gets hot and shuts off. I can't get it to run until it cools off. I'm guessing the carb is just a POS. Will I have those sort of issues if a spring for one of these?

The only pole saw I use is a HT133

I have ~60 acres and am looking at a HT-56C or the HT-101. Both are used. One is $350, the other $275. How much saw do I really need for pine?

"cut your nub off again" that just sounds wrong....

how many sections is good 1.2.3 need 20 foot

Have you ever had a problem with it leaking bar oil?

Where is it available in maharashtra

What’s a Peecon?

If your too weak to start it, your too weak to use it.

what weedeater do you recommend?

He's wearing a Husqvarna hat

Mine's much longer, got the better techniques and I can play guitar

Jesus will you stop calling your chainsaws CHAIN a blade. You make every arborist cringe. It’s a chain. Not a blade. We actively make fun of people that call it a blade pretty much across the country.

NOT A FARMER ON A FARM---- you are spending money on the place NOT EARNING MONEY from growing.

I know how to cut a limb of a tree. This says saw review. No review. Just useless info on how to cut a 2 inch branch
