Default Palms, just when I thought I had everything.

Well I thought I had everything to make palms easier but this is great.

I've emailed them already.

Hmmm, I must be missing the point or something.

For starters, I dont clean many from the ground.

I already have a pole saw but rarely use it on palms.

And I certainly dont clean any to "harvest" stuff.

Sorry, I dont get the big deal for us residential tree people, do enlighten me.

It's an old area here, I clean quite a few date palms, [dirty, filthy, spiky things!] further away I can get the better, also lots of vines on things they clog my polesaw up. On the website they also have 6 & 8 meter ones. I'd use one a fair bit, most guys wouldn't. Don't know about the 8 mtr though.

The sickle cutting from the top down wont get trapped or caught as much either for you I suppose.

8m is a fair reach, you'd have arms like a orangutan using that all day.
