monday after work i was driving around town looking for something to do and saw throught the trees someone up in a bucket lopping the top out of about a 40 inch elm with a poulan wild thing. At first being from a distance i thought nooo it cant be. looking at the bright green shinning through the trees . so i drove on over and sure enough. there he was. whackin away at the tree. and the ground guys were below cutting it up with what looked to be twin poulan wild things. i kept on driving past about once every half hour to see there progress. after they got into about 25 inch wood or so they started looking a bit stressed .. And not long after that they gave up and left it and the trees been sitting there for like 3 days now. i have no idea who the guys were even. didnt look like anyone from a local service. 3 guys and a bucket truck i geuss *lol . its pretty sad how the tree looks now. its all toped out . and there intentions im pretty sure were to take it down seeing as they kind of just stopped in the middle of things. some peoples kids

That is surprising. I had a wildthing once, no more of them things. they need to come back and do the job right, tell em to get a Stihl 088.

to show u contras in what people think..
i once bought an 028 from a guy that had used it as a climbing saw..his reason ,, he had bought the little poulan that lowes sells..he said it was the best thing since peanut butter..now this fellow couldnt read an such ,probably lived in a tree house,as thats all he knew..he was country made and probably could reach onehanded as far as he wanted to with that little saw..hope he still likes it..

i didnt even stop to talk to them. not that i didnt want to be friendly. just figured they had enough on there mind with the problems they were having *lol.
And giving advice to people like that , they probably just wouldent understand anyways. i figure its pry just 3 guys who offered to do someones tree for however much and then went out n bought the cheapest saws they could find IE the poulan wild thing. the scary part is they had a boom tuck. that is very hazardous for people who dont know what they are doing to be playing around with espechially around a big elm like that .
Not much you can say though. or there may be alot you could say but none of which would be heard
