PS250
AHH..you guys have found something really close to my heart...the PS250!! The Ultimate in a pole saw...but..didnt do well here in the USA
Do you fellas remember the 254XP saw?...well thats the powerhead we used, and thats a hydraulic self contained pump /oil tank bolted to the powerhead. It was a really beautiful piece of engineering..high pressure pump.(2400psi)..small orbit motor on the pole coupled to a bar and chain. Completely Di-electric too!, as long as you used Di-electric oil in the pump. that baby would resist 4400 volts for 1 minute and 660V for ever!
Some of the best engineering went into developing that pump, bullit proof and made like a swiss watch, what a beauty!
You fellas who never used one..just picture this, compared to todays current crop of "string trimmer engined" pole saws.
The power of a closed port , 54cc 13,000 rpm engine on that pump , and the torque transfered to the chain by the way of a hydraulic motor at 75% of engine rpm!
Only thing tho..that must be some other currency the "EBayer"is talkin about ..here it was retailed for about 2200.00....then closed out in the end around 1700. I had a american hydraulic pump manufacturer offer me 2 grand for just the pump off of mine, because none were avail from Charlotte and they wanted to look into its innards badly!
I think I know where there is a dealer with a used one for sale for a grand today..if he hasnt sold it yet!.
