Chainsaw Repair

i have one of those fiskers extendables.  works well.  should say it worked better before being used to clear a 15' long drainage pipe.

don't like the way the saw blade attaches with the wing-nut.  just takes some re-tightening during use.  mine is old, maybe the new ones differ?

when i worked in an apple orchard, all we used to prune the 'suckers' were hand pruning shears.  maybe they didn't want us idiots to ruin their trees.  anything growing on the top of the branch, or anything growing back towards the trunk was snipped. the orchard was just starting to switch over to the dwarf trees in the mid '80's.

if you got there after 6am start time it sucked.  you missed the tractor wagon ride out to where we were cutting, and got the dullest shears which were still left in the box.

edit.  just remembering the way those trees looked after pruning....like crap, but that is what they wanted them to be.  loaded with apples.
