STIHL HT 56C Pole saw review after 1 year of use....worth the money? Is it farm tough?

Today's farm Vlog consist of some tree pruning in the yard and I thought I'd give a quick review of the STIHL HT56C pole saw that I've been using for a year or more...great saw! Also some tips on how to safely use a pole saw to prune limbs way up high! ENJOY!

Good trimming method. You forgot to mention that the first cut is to prevent the limb from peeling down into the trunk when it falls.

Love your videos! My 5 year old granddaughter watches YouTube videos with me when she visits and she always wants to watch the "Crazy Farmer". You are her favorite. Her favorite used to be Wranglerstar, but you have taken his place!

Not only that it pinches your saw, it also prevents the branch from ripping bark from the trunk of the tree as it is tipping down from the main part of the tree. But i'm glad you said under cut first, then cut down from the top, that will prevent tearing of bark from the main part of the tree. Nice job Josh. Your farm looks so great.

Thanks Josh you just made my mind up on this saw. I'm 67 and need a lightweight pole saw and easy storage. I have the Farm Boss chainsaw and it is an awesome saw but too heavy for me with me being 150 pounds and should have bought less saw but didn't listen to the Stihl salesman who tried to sell me a 170 and now I have a beefy saw but pay after each use. I also have Stihl trimmer I love the easy pull start system of stihl products. I want to thank you for a very nice demo video.

I’ve been picked on for using the Husqvarna helmet while wielding a Stihl product...I’m glad I’m not the only one cross brand dressing ;-)

[annadavis]

Just got me one of those and I can't wait to use it! Thank you for showing me how!

[SLFYSH]

Thanks. You know I'm liking everything about your channel. It's light, practical with useful information, and entertaining. Like the music too! Best of luck in your efforts.👍🏽

Thanks Josh, I appreciate your insight. I have been debating on a purchase of a pole saw. Great information, please keep it up. You have given me a ton of information regarding my property. Thank you!

[mickmoriarty]

I don't know if mine is the same as mine, which is a Kombi system. The pole saw is amazing I love it.
It keeps my trees pruned neatly and I have also pruned many friend's trees.
Money well spent.

[sharonmiller]

It's good to know you like your pole pruner aa I just bought one, same model. Thank you for the review.

[deanadams]

I just purchased the Stihl HT 56C Pole Saw and love it. Thanks for the video review. keep up the good work.

[rapaent]

Great Demo!! I've been looking at these saws and now you have me leaning towards this one due to being much lighter than the commercial ones. The newest ones are named 56C-E not sure what the difference would be.... I need to keep my trees trimmed up to 13 to 14 feet. Have you tried using the HT 56C on a good step ladder? I'm 5' 10", looks like I would have to go up a couple steps. Thanks again! Great Job in presentation and Cutting!!

[willieboy]

I have debating this or the HT 131. Good review with technique. You also showed the height at which the saw can reach. I would have liked to have seen how the small 10" bar with chain cut the a larger branch.

[jjmax]

Helpful video and a good review of the pole saw.

[CliffsideStables]

With the quality of videos you put out your channel is sure to grow. Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your content & presentation style.

[Bretbreteux]

your technics is the right way to do the pruning.

[benjamintaylor]

Thanks for the video. You can sure get a lot of work done with a good Stihl saw and a nice JD with the grappler on front! Reminds me of growing up down in GA.
