Kingdom of Callaway - Fulton, Mo 65251 | I formerly owned a tree service and we used a lot of the HT series Stihl pole pruners. We never used the harnesses. One more thing laying around in the truck that they wouldn't wear anyway. We sure had a lot of horseshoe bent extensions on them - they were expensive to run in the wrong guy's hands.
I have a couple of the HT131 pole pruners I use on the farm. One of them I bought at a landscape company auction and it had a harness. I tried using it and didn't like it. It seemed like as soon as I got it all on, I would want to move a limb out of the way, drive a truck forward or something and have to unhook it. It was a older one, they may have a better type now? In a orchard situation they would be nice.
I often prefer a good set of Jameson fiberglass poles with a turbo saw or something similar on the end over the powered pole saw. A whole lot lighter and easy to carry behind a truck seat if you only need to trim a branch now and then. |
