Pole Saw attachment for my weed wacker - $99 at Lowes.

After 10yrs, the gears seem to have worn out on my old one. I got good use out of the thing, easily one of my all time best purchases. With all the trees I have down after the last couple snows (easily 30+), I was planning to buy a regular chainsaw, but I can still cut most of em up w/ this lil 8" bar, and have a buddy bring a chainsaw by one day for the big stuff.

The one bonus is that they come with extension bars, so now I have an extra 3', so I am at about 14' of reach. Comes in handy when a tree comes down, but is hung up on a branch in another.

These downed trees make me so sad. Behind my horse pasture I had so many spots that I was trimming to about 7' high, so they had become canopied over the last 10-15yrs, always providing cool damp shade, and now most of em are fucked.
