    Milwaukee telescoping pole pruner. First impressions

    Received it last week. We like it already. It’s very powerful and will cut up to 2” limbs. The only con so far is that the blade is not a good quality steel. Like other reviews have stated, it can get knicked easier than other commercial grade pole pruners (manual not battery powered)...

    T540i XP vibration

    I’ve had my T540i for almost a year now. It suddenly has a vibration when squeezed the throttle that is pretty loud and I can feel it in my hands. I cannot figure out what is causing it. I took the bar cover off and cleaned everything. It doesn’t make the vibration when the bar and chain are...

    A client of mine called me over to look at a row of trees and shrubs that are in serious decline. According to my client, these declining plants were installed approximately 5-6 years ago and were in good condition up until the last year or so. Once on site I found a row of different species...

    Husqvarna X-Cut

    These chains suck bad. I purchased a few loops for my 18” and a few loops for my 24” saws. It’s all that my local dealer had in stock. They don’t cut right after very little use (no abuse). I have been using Oregon, Husqvarna and Stihl chains for almost 30 years and have never had such poor...
