Handbasket

I've got a 'cheap' Remington electric pole saw. I once backed the camper down into the back yard among the trees of the little church I attend, and used the Onan to power it. A 70' poplar had broken part-way off in a big windstorm, and was hanging over our 'nature trail'. The extension pole was just long enough to reach the break, so I could cut thru it at the hinge point and drop the top of the tree safely onto the ground.
I then went home & got the pickup with the 'real' chainsaw and winch, and removed it from the trail. That lil' Remington pulls a heck of a starting surge, maybe due to the chain friction. Almost bogged the Onan 2800 down every time I pulled the trigger, but it kept going. I cut the tree up later and gave the wood to one of the girls who also goes there.
