Best 'POLE SAW' Guide for Beginners/Home Owners | Silky vs Notch vs Corona vs STIHL

[@nhwnhw02]

I found that you should only flip all the levers closed after saw in completely closed. For some reason when closing the buttons on each section won't pop up unless the lever is up. It came without any real instructions. Your mileage may vary.

[@mainstreetmower]

Good point, agreed

[@nhwnhw02]

Man alive, I love this saw. It is awesome. Clean up under a lot of trees that were a problem for years. This saw solved all that.

[@mainstreetmower]

@@nhwnhw02 That's great!

[@jontnoneya3404]

I used a Kobalt pole chain saw today, fully extended and that beast was HEAVY. Battery at the handle but it was really surprisingly heavy when all sections were included. I got out my Fiskars pole saw and was not only surprised at how light it was, but also how easily it made cuts. Now I need something to get high up and make horizontal cuts.

[@mainstreetmower]

It's amazing how these newer pole saws have become sooooo much more lighter. In the last section of this video you must have seen Stu using the Hasegawa Orchard Ladders. Those are easily our best sellers and my personal favorite too. You can check out more about them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5vIZ4adhdeaaKssi=0ViJkZ7Vo_EQB6VV

Again, fantastic video. I have a few of the. Japanese Silky/Hayate pole saws. They are unparalleled, even compared to the notch. FYI, the difference between the corona and the notch pole saw that you did with the Hayichi blade was actually a 5.5 to one ratio. 42 5.5 times faster than. 232. Unreal the difference. I had the corona. I used it twice and gave it away.

[@MKIVGTIVR6]

You're the man. Thank you for this video, convinced me to get something like this over the powered alternatives.

[@mainstreetmower]

Awesome. Let us know how you like it you do get that.

[@l.e.6263]

Would like to see you cut 5 - 6 inch circumference live branch from any mature tree with the tall ladder & pole saw used at end of vid. In my area, pro tree guys charge thousands $$ only due to branch height, not bc of skill. Bought electric polesaws but none that can reach over 20 ft. Thanks ahead.

[@chuckmccollim]

Great demonstration, very well done!

[@mainstreetmower]

Thank you Chuck!

[@fishinbite]

Nice vid. Have you tried the Fiskars Quikfit pole saw?

[@genemetz1945]

I love my Kobalt Pole Saw - 80-volt - 5-ah battery - 10" Bar - 6 ft / 8ft foot Pole Saw. No cable. I have been using it for more than 3 years now. It works great on my southeast Louisiana farm clearing property that a hurricane went through and trashed all the trees in the woods of our 20-acre farm. I carry it all over our woods and the battery lasts a long time. Today I'll be cutting a 6-inch limb off of a tree out front.

[@mainstreetmower]

That's awesome, thanks for sharing., Sounds like a great tool

[@tulkas9756]

Would you prefer the Silky Hayate or the Hayauchi? In the video you used the Hayauchi. Ist the Hayate faster?

[@chasb7771]

Thanks for this helpful video - I'm heading to your Winter Garden store right now ☺️

[@mainstreetmower]

Awesome. I am here right now, see you soon. 🙂

[@klynn1205]

Fantastic video. I'm tempted to purchase the Notch, but noticed it doesn't include a lopper attachment or option to add one (as far as I can tell). In your opinion, should this dissuade me, or is the lopper not really necessary?

[@mainstreetmower]

There is a lopper attachment that fits the Sentei models (black scabbard)(Hayauchi Blade models) 16’ and 21’. It’s hard to find on the Notch/Sherrill tree website but I just found it on Amazon

[@klynn1205]

@Main Street Mower That's good to know, thanks. Curious, if it's you, do you sacrifice on the blade to have the option to add a lopper attachment, or opt for that Hayate blade instead?

[@mikesmith7784]

You don't need a lopper attachment all you need is a recipitating saw or a jigsaw to attach to the end of the pole with a long blade. It works perfect and easier and much faster

[@brainblownc570]

@@mainstreetmower The Notch pole is too pricey for us for home use. Are there any other pulley pole loppers that you can recommend?

[@sofjanmustopoh7232]

@@brainblownc570Corona or Fiskars . For manual pole saw . They are more flexible. So just take your time . 1 stroke at a time . DONOT try to power thru the sawing action . The flexible pole would waste your energy. Corona and Fiskars are 1/3 the price of notch and Silky . If your tree is not more than 12-15 foot high . There are many electric pole saw that will work . A little front heavy but will work . Kobalt , dewalt , worX etc etc has one . Again becareful . Come at a more horizontal position so the saw is Not PINCHED. And the limb do not fall on you and hurt you . Good luck

[@sofjanmustopoh7232]

Many homeowner or property owner cannot justify the $300+ Silky or Notch manual pole saw . Yes it only take 2 trimming cost by pro to pay off the purchase price . Corona , Fiskars has the manual pole saw . But the pole is flexible . Especially they are round shape . Not oval like silky or notch . Just take your time . One stroke at a time. Do not power speed thru the sawing motion . You will just waste the energy in flexing the pole . Try move as far away horizontally. So the saw blade don’t get pinched. For shorter trees . Those power pole saw by dewalt , kobalt , worX etc etc are also an option. Stay safe wear safety glasses to avoid saw dust in your eyes . Stay away horizontally as far as you can on the side to prevent limb falling on you and sending you to ER . Be careful be safe . My Corona long pole saw has paid itself many times over in 11 years . If I have bought the silky saw . It would also have paid off for me in 11 years worth of rental properties maintenance . And save me from aggravation and finish the pruning job faster 😄. But it is very hard to justify a $ 300 plus silky or notch saw Vs $100 plus corona or Fiskars pole saw. Even tho yg silky or notch can work in 1/2 the time . Or even 1/3 the time . Unless you are doing it professionally and getting paid by jobs Great video

[@mainstreetmower]

Quality tools make all the difference, thanks for the comments!

[@jamalbryant3139]

Is the Hayate blade worth it to you? Willing to spend the extra money over the Hayauchi blade if it’s a big difference. I can’t decide if I should go with the Notch 20' Nobasu 4 Section or the Notch 21' Sentei 4 Section. I stay in South Florida and harvest coconuts, so I’m looking for a good pruning stick for the palm trees. Thank in advance for your advice

[@TimberTrainer]

The best pole saw I've used isn't produced anymore. It was first introduced as the Sherilltree Stealth, then the Notch Stealth. 23' extended carbon composite poles with Hayate blade. It's stiffer, lighter, and easier to use than the aluminum poles. Berger makes a comparable pole saw.

[@mainstreetmower]

ooh that's very interesting Would have loved to try that out at least one.

Why do you not include the KOBALT - 80-volt - 5-ah battery - 10" Bar - 6 ft / 8ft foot Kobalt Pole Saw.? - No cable. - I’m using an Oregon Bar and Chain on it .

[@joewger]

Are Marvin pole saws and Notch the same company? I see Marvin and Notch blades are interchangeable.

[@mainstreetmower]

I am not very sure but i did find a lot of other people having the same questions and claim.

[@thephlegmmaster]

Still make the poles just not available in the US.

[@mainstreetmower]

I see. Good to know.

[@berettaguy7445]

The Stihl PP800 pole and PS80 blade are made in Japan (like the Silky) by ARS; the blade is every bit as sharp as any Silky. Nobody makes saws better than the Japanese. If you look up ARS components, you'll find that these Stihl components are identical to the ARS pole SC-EXP55 and blade UV-40-1. Generally the Stihl versions are a much better deal as well. Incidentally, I have a Silky Zubat and a Samurai Ichiban; the Ichiban cuts every bit as good as the Zubat, and is a lot cheaper. Also, while using both in a residential setting, I chipped two teeth off the Zubat; this has never happened with the Ichiban.

[@mainstreetmower]

Great setup there man. Thanks for sharing, looks like great insight 🙂

[@williamc2930]

The special ordered pruner attachment is Made in the USA. PP800 is nice. Just stay vertical as much as possible to make it easier to use.

[@berettaguy7445]

@williamc2930 I've got it. You're right; it's hefty.

I would have liked to see a decent quality affordable pole saw

[@mainstreetmower]

Did you see the video?

[@SportsGirlNumber9]

@@mainstreetmower Yes. I saw 1 rusty $99 saw and 4 that are well over $200. It’s dishonest to who some rusty $100 pole as if there are no decent quality pole saws for $100 or less. The avg person isn’t going to spend over $200 to cut down a couple of branches a year.

[@mainstreetmower]

@@SportsGirlNumber9 As mentioned in the beginning of the video, the rusty pole saw was sent to us for free as a demonstration of how bad it is. Stu informs you at 00:54 that it barely even cuts. That's very honest imo 🙂 As for the other saws, the title of the video says 'BEST' Polesaw. Sorry that price wasn't THE main consideration in this video but we never kept it from the viewers either.

@@SportsGirlNumber9 Fair enough. Stay tuned 🙂

[@mikesmith7784]

Here's the very best way to do it if it's really high up and it's the cheapest and it works excellent. All you need is a telescopic pole Any pole even rebar any long 20 to 30 foot pole and attach a precipitating saw or even a jig saw with a very long wood blade and attach it at the end of pole or whatever and use a zip tie or tape to hold it together. Use a zip tie for your trigger attached to a rope. Along with a long extension cord to reach your plug. It works great. I know I've done it about 25 foot.

[@mainstreetmower]

Great. Thanks for sharing.
