Customer Reviews

Add-on Pole Saw for TroyBilt
Works beautifully. Easy to install and operate. Does a terrific job at what it is designed to do. The 8" bar does things like clearing heavy bushes/brush and trimming tree limbs with ease.
My only regret is that I waited way too long to buy this unit. I did a lot of this work over the years using small hand saws and heavy chain saws while standing on a ladder. This Pole saw makes the work a lot less tiring and definitely a lot safer.
Also note that Amazon.com has the absolute best price around for this Polesaw including Ebay which I use often.

Easy to use quality product
This adapter attaches easily and works well. Even hard woods cut easily. Some sites claim the maximum diameter cut is as much as 16 inches, but the directions provided by the manufacturer recommend cutting no larger than a 4 inch branch. For the price, buy the brand name. Generic adapters are also available for a few dollars less but also appear to be of lesser quality.

Good unit but a little short
Not bad of a unit. Takes a bit of practice to make sure the chain doesn't get ragged on something in which it wont turn. My biggest beef though, is the pole portion is too short. I kept wishing for another 3-4 extra feet of extension which really helps with higher trees. Since the pole section is just a generic drive unit, I'm wondering if I can just purchase an additional pole. However, no info on this exists in the manual or manufacturer's web site.

As for power, that of course depends on what type of trimmer motor is powering the unit. I have a Troy-Bilt 31cc 2 cycle and it has more than enough power -- I only had to use full throttle on the trunks, never on the thick branches since there was never a lack of power. The modulation of the throttle with the trimmer motor makes it wonderful to use.
