STIHL KM 56 RC pole saw extension question.

[Colty Bolty]

I recently purchased a Stihl km 56 rc head unit with pole saw attachment. My question is ... is there any way to extend the reach of this saw? I am aware I can buy a factory extension... I think they are 36".

Has anyone put more than one extension together?? Is there another option? I'm looking to buy

Thanks in advance!

G'day Colty,

Stihl recommends no more than one extension be used.

I have seen multiple extensions used on a KM 131. I do not recommend it. At this point it is better to use a telescoping unit or call in the climbers.

I only use one extension with my KM 94. I doubt it or the KM 56 would have the guts to run much else.

Hope that helps, even if it might not be what you wanted to hear.
