When Your Stihl Pole Saw Is Not Long Enough!

Stihl HT 56 C-E Pole Saw: www.stihlusa.c...
Today is all about the workshop roof. There is a large black walnut tree we need to fell before it does damage to the workshop foundation. The pole saw is handy for limbing the part of the tree hanging over the workshop roof, but even the pole saw can't get to all these branches! We make good progress on a lot of it, and use the leaf blower to clear off all the debris.

That whole tree would’ve came down before I got up on that roof! Brave work be safe.

You have very good combo of traction and balance on top of raising up that pole saw which is not that light and easy. What I did was attach an added pole to increase the length and raise the pole using a rope and pulley. I studied my method quite well before applying it because of my fear of going to the Emergency Room and COVID19 exposure during this Pandemic. Thanks for sharing.

That is some setup! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.

I just got the stihl ht131r combi system fell in love with it. Got every attachment that came with it one of the best purchases I’ve ever made!

Now I know who to call for any work on a roof. (You'll never catch me on a roof! I was trying to back away from the edge just watching this video.😎) Totally understand your comment about wet areas looking dry. I got the truck stuck in the mud on Sunday because I thought an area of the yard was dry, but it wasn't.

Nice job. I have the Stihl HTA 86, and am finding lots of things I can do which were never possible before. The scariest part of the video was when you hung the running chain saw while doing something else. You must have picked a time to do this video of you on the roof with a chainsaw when your wife was not at home and your neighbors were busy.

You had me at barter! I just bought my saw today thanks for your help. Subbed

[@rushedscheduledfun3963]

Thanks for watching and subscribing. I still like the saw. Pick up a file for the chain.

@@rushedscheduledfun3963 ok sir I shall I did but it last night Sadly it’s raining the next couple days in northern Ca. I got it ace for 360

[@rushedscheduledfun3963]

@@se7encureton You got a better deal then me. Dont be disappointed when it works so well that you trim everything in a day and then the saw hangs in your garage for a while. The saw is faster then any tree branch. Have fun.

[@se7encureton]

@@rushedscheduledfun3963 hah love it! I’ll be letting ya know sir. I am going to be doing some heavier than what it’s for so I’ll see how that goes.

[@stozies1221]

I have actually done the exact same thing with that pole saw before. Not very hard if you have good footing and know the forces of the polesaw. I do want to learn how to climb trees though. It’s safer.

Well I learned one thing today, put my bar and chain oil in a Dawn dish washing dispenser to keep it from spilling everywhere.

[@1d1hamby]

I use a Palmolive bottle for my bar oil.

[@willieboy3011]

I was curious to see how well the saw cut the limbs, as well it could be handled while extended. It did well from what I could tell. As small as the 10" bar chain is, I suspect it needs to be quite sharp.

[@rushedscheduledfun3963]

Still Happy with the saw. Only problem is I dont use it that much Once you cut every back you dont keep it for a long while.

[@PoplarMechanic]

Cool vid, I highly recommend the electric (battery) pole saw from stihl, very impressive.

[@rushedscheduledfun3963]

Sounds interesting. That was not out when we got this saw.

[@wullierennie3190]

Battery saw is pish

[@pmaint1]

​​@@wullierennie3190 WTF is pish?

[@BONESBOYFrance]

Hi Be careful on that roof. Please can you tell me where you got the pocket wrench, is it an Anson?

[@chevyvega6622]

video is scary to watch knowing you have no safety line on. Ive seen it many times, im safe, then fall. Watch your footing

[@davidwillard7334]

WHAT !! A !! CLICK !! BAIT !! HEADING !! THIS !! IS !! THUMBS !! DOWN !!!

[@plumbsquare]

Why the hell are you on the roof??? Who is the breadwinner of your family? Learn how to fell a tree in the direction you want. If it makes you feel better, Hook that dozer cable and pull toward an open aera.
