- I helped my brother, Hank, and his crew as we worked to save an old smoke house from a massive pecan tree threatening to crush it. The location is our Uncle Tom's old homestead. The Stihl pole saw was very handy. Hank wanted to test it for the first time and give it a review.
Just bought an HT 103. Awesome tool
Yes it is brother!
Wow, that machine is a beast. Thanks for sharing with us, how it performs🔥
You're welcome. And thank you.
Just got me one of those yesterday I fell in love with it
Cool. Once you use it you wonder how you ever lived without one haha.
I live in Durham North Carolina I got 2 acres with a bunch of trees I got the 131r combi with every single attachment to it I was like a kid in a candy store LMAO
@@jasonrobinson9202 yeah we just went to a Durham Bulls game a couple weeks back. Good deal.
Those look like pecan trees. If so, they are very hard wood!!! I have seen sparks flying while cutting them! Loved this video Brother!
Yes sir it is Pecan. This was an amazing tree that was on our uncle's property. When he passed on, my brother, Hank, bought the old homestead. Thank you for watching and commenting, brother.
I’ve got a couple of Stihl saws and won’t be getting another gasoline powered one. The last tank of fuel for the season I use the $20 a gallon premix, run till dry and put it up. Following spring, it refuses to start.
Don’t know if you’re sponsored, but I purchased the Milwaukee Quick Lok system and their pole saw. It doesn’t flex like the Stihl did and appears to cut faster. It doesn’t have the length adjustment on the fly, but with the powerhead, pole saw and extension is as long. The plus is no fuel, and the powerhead can be used by the string trimmer, hedge trimmer or edger.
Good luck with your purchase.
Thank you . Very kind!
Stop leaving the tank dry, keep it full of treated fuel during off season.
Use premium gas, their mix, add stabilizer before you put it away for the season and do those things for any two cycle.
Great stuff, guys... Chainsaw on a stick that looks like fun.
LOL absolutely
Wow that’s so funny I watched this video like last year sometime before I bought my pole saw. Funny now that I know you live near by.
Haha small world brother. That's very cool.
Bought one yesterday, should have bought it 15 years ago
Yes sir...Right!
👍 Is the exact video I was looking for I need to buy me one of these coming this late spring early summer. I got a few trees I need to tackle! My sister has one and she was telling me about a pole Saul and I said well I have a long pole saw that has a like a blade on the end she says no no this is. This is a gas operated so you can do electric or gas. I’d rather do the gas. Great video very helpful.❤
Awesome. glad it helped, Linden. I also did a video review on our channel about a battery powered Kobalt pole saw.
Just got mine today bout to use it tomorrow looks like fun
Yes sir brother it's a fun and valuable tool to use. It makes things a lot safer too.
@@carolinahillcountry damn that was fun ! Just finished a tree this thing is tough!
@@MichaelDominguez25 Yes it is brother. Awesome.
Good job mi amigo!! That saw is a money making machine.
Muchas gracias, friend! Yes it is a great tool.
Learning
We are always learning brother.
I'am Your Newest Subscriber Great Videos
Awesome thank you!
Sorry I must have missed you comment. Very kind words.
I need me one of them.
yep
Awesome video. Stihl chainsaw sounds. Kubota with a thumb. No safety helmet, sorta. And I do believe open carry.
Haha that's right amen. And I always open carry. Thanks!
Haaaa! Would you recomend safety gear?
Absolutely, although I’m not wearing any 😂
I love this, it definitely beats me sitting high up in a tree with a chainsaw or recipro saw!
Southerners & Australians seem to have a pretty similar attitude- this made me laugh so hard!
Haha that is funny I know. Proud to hear us Southerners have something in common with our Australian friends.
Brand new and it wouldn't even cut through a 2" limb for me I'm stumped atm.
If you have the same one as in the video the factory chain that it is sold with is most likely the green micro you should try the yellow super chain it is a lot more aggressive and sharp works better on mine.
@@countryboy7mag56 good point
Yeah definitely something going on with the chain. I know this might sound crazy but I am not sure your level of experience with saws. Crazy thing is I have heard of folks putting chains on saws backwards and not adding bar and chain oil. I am not saying you did that but I have seen it. Hope you get it figured out brother.
Good vid!
Thanks brother!
Get on the other side ? Why reach over the house ?
Not sure. Will have to look back and refresh my memory. Thanks.
The HT-103 in Australia cost $1400
That's will brother.
Makita has made almost an exact same as this as battery model. Just ordered it - $400
That's a good price.
650....wow... It better be good!
Yeah that is high. But it's a great tool.
How well does it balance? I need to get up on a 10 foot step ladder and top out a tree. So I need a pole saw that I can hold out horizontally and cut several 2 inch branches that are growing vertically. Will this saw balance well for that?
This saw would definitely handle that job in my opinion. Balance on a ladder is aways a tricky thing of course. This is my brother's pole saw so I can ask him if it came with a shoulder strap. I did another video on a Kobalt battery powered pole saw that also works great, especially for a home owner type job. It definitely came with a shoulder strap that helps to balance it out.
@@carolinahillcountry Yes, please ask and comment here again. This job is fast coming up and I have to come through, even if I have to buy a new pole saw (that I'll use for similar jobs). Thanks for the fast reply.
@@gregblackburn4280 Yes sir, brother. He said that Stihl pole saw did come with a shoulder strap and does help with balancing.
@@carolinahillcountry Well thanks. I may have to get a gasoline-powered pole saw. It may be this one. Thanks again.
@@gregblackburn4280 You are welcome. Here is the link to the Kobalt pole saw we reviewed.
czcams.com/video/eMctELvYPoY/video.html
I think that thing needs to be sharpened
I will let him know. thanks.
Don’t do this at home, these are trained professionals. :-)
LOL self trained if you can tell.
You don't have to choke it if it's been running.... ;-p
STHRN VOICE of reason. Thx
@@carolinahillcountry Thanks for replying man! LoL ;-) I used my 103 for the first time the other day... I love it!
@@sthrnvoice3198 Your are welcome friend. Awesome!
Sharpen the saw blade mine works great but not with a dull saw blade
Thanks
Greetings from VA. Did you know the word corona has 6 letters and they add up to 66?
Do you think the Stihl battery Chainsaw have the same capacity to cut large an hard wood limbs?
I am not sure, but I am skeptical.
I did a video review on a Kobalt electric pole saw.
I'm thinking of buying a pole saw but not sure whether to get battery or petrol, what would you recommend? More so for farm work, I'm in rural but still in town limits.
We also did a review on a battery powered Kobalt pole saw on our channel. It is also a nice piece of equipment probably more suited for homeowners or someone who wouldn't use the saw that much. the gas powered Stihl is probably better suited for commercial use and used often. That's just my opinion. Thanks.

Milwaukee makes the best performing Cordless Pole Saw, it's the F1 car of Electric saws, if money is no option.....you can also purchase a weed whacker and other attachments for it. I personally have their Pole saw, and it's pretty crazy. If you search for "Project Farm Pole Saw", there's an excellent video that compares ALL the brands of pole saws, with Tests to prove it.
Not 15 sec into this vid and I heard that classic sound of a Stihl engine. My weedeater sounds like it's about to take off when it gets working. Unbridled power
Amen to that !!
Nice verse
Thanks brother
LOL I think it would have been better to knock down those old sheds instead or at least let the tree fall on them 😂
I understand, Scott. Just hard to do with the history there. Thanks for commenting, sir.
@@carolinahillcountry LOL I've got buildings that make yours look good but you're right, the tradition here is to let them fall on their own. Hard to tear down history. My Grandfather build most of these ones.
@@scottprimrose6387 haha understood.
Hank and his toys
Amen to that John.
JMO, but, if it costs $700 it should climb the tree itself.....
Haha no kidding
I got 1 for free found it on the road haha
Dang!
$6.50. Haha great vid!
Haha. Thank you, BMWLane.
How can I buy this product
www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/gardening-tools/pruning-tools/7001222
Lowes doesnt sell this... ugh.. so wanted the 10% Military discount
Sorry. Yeah that 10% always helps me.
Like you video. Where you get those shades?
Not sure. Probably a dollar store somewhere.😁 They are just cheap glasses. Thank you, Jake!
700.00 dollars ...700.00 wow...
Chump change to you sarge.
The Chinese Communist Party agrees.."Don't buy American made products"
☕
Better set those jets
Very true.
I want this tool but how to buy reply and send me address.
Here are a couple of websites:

I own one and it cost me $4600 in my country
Wow that is high! Where do you live friend?
$600 for a pole saw? Does it has an AI and does it work by itself and have a lift time warranty?
Haha no AI would be cool though.
@5Bucs That's a deal!
@Vstar5 a craftsman is ok for homeowners but a professional tree or landscape guy needs stihls. They last longer and are way more durable. I have had a few craftsman chainsaws weedeaters and I have broken every one withing a month.
@Vstar5 I hope so. Then again I do tree and landscape work as well as firewood and I was running them 6 to 7 days a week.
@Vstar5 The Chinese Communist Party approves you buying that craftsman..
Give me link so I can buy one
Pretty sure this is it brother.....www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/gardening-tools/pruning-tools/7001222
