Well I had a big job to do last month cutting limbs. Paid well enough that I got a new saw. I got the Echo PPT 280 pole saw. Wow, this is awesome. It sure made short work of every limb that needed cutting. Ripped right through 10" oak like it was nothing. I even bought the 4' extension. I just wish I had a few more branches that need cutting. Anyone else tried one of these?
