Stihl HT 133 pole saw - Using and reviewing

Today I will be using and reviewing the Stihl HT 133 Pole Saw. As I continue to clean these fence rows there are trees that the land owner does not want removed but are over the road way. I will be using the pole saw to trim those and I use it to cut a tree that has fallen on my car port. Then I talk about the pole saw

100% agree with you Matt! Use that thing for more than a half hour, and you're Superman! Sweet idea, for it to be shoulder mounted.... Um, it does come with a shoulder strap (that I have no idea where mine is...) to take off the weight. What get's me upset with it the most thought, is how it rolls over all the time. The thing is just out of balance. I put it on the ground to start it, and it rolls over 95% of the time like it's playing dead!! But it's a beast, and fantastic for the first 30 Great Video!

Those things have a great use, but if you need to do much, you probably want to look a a different approach to getting it done. I use mine for about 15 to 20 minutes and if that's not the end of the cutting, I'm looking to getting something different. I prefer to use the man basket on the forks of the tractor or skid loader and a smaller hand held saw to get it done.
