I understand where you might think this is a scam. This is a new product and it is just now ready to hit the market. Some people will love it and some people it won't suit. You will be seeing more of limbhog in the future and I assure you this is no scam!
The scam is marketing a product which will underperform against its realistic competitive products or people, at a MUCH higher cost.
As has been pointed out, you can cut limbs 16' up with a six hundred dollar pole saw, oriented correctly, angled correctly, and running a 2. hp motor to get it done, instead of a 40+ hp tractor.
Need to go higher? Stand on the headache rack, and a tall guy could be cutting at 24'.
Need to go higher still? A climber can be in and out of the tree, make all proper cuts, not compact the roots at all, and be on to the next tree while you're still trying to position to make the next substandard cut at 20' or below, compacting the soil around the roots the whole time.
Heck, it'd even be cheaper to buy a hydraulic pole saw, and mount it to the bucket, with a bicycle brake cable running the throttle, if someone wanted to make crappy cuts at low altitudes.
I do have one question....
Are you, or do you know the original poster of this thread?
My point in asking is that a good product at a fair price won't need a shill to help marketing....
Sorry to be so negative towards your product, and approach. Most of us here like trees, and value good tree care. Can you explain to us how your product furthers the (general) goals of our industry?
