Mama about had a bird when she was me standing on the top of the edge of the box on my wood wagon, cutting branches off a black walnut that had been offending me all summer. So, I'm looking to buy a pole saw for fencerow and field road clearing. I was gonna buy a Stihl pole saw, but can't quite swallow the $650 the local dealer wants. I've been looking for a used one for awhile now, but they're usually either priced very close to new, or just flat not available.
Those Oregon 40v electric chainsaws have interested me for a while now for quick use along with my 3pt 8in chipper, but again, I haven't been willing to swallow the price. On a side note - just cause a chipper has an 8in throat doesn't mean it has 8 in capacity. My chipper is a Valby with hydraulic power feed, and while the manufacturer calls it an 8 inch capacity machine, I'd say it has closer to 4in working capacity. Even then, some work has to be done to get extra crooked or brushy material in it. Not a real big deal because I cut up anything 3 inches or bigger for firewood. Still, having a saw close by to do some finish work sure make the chipper easier to use.
Anyway, I'm rambling. Back on subject - I can buy an Oregon 40v electric pole saw with 4ah battery for about $360 online. Anyone have an opinion on if this would be an adequate tool for occasional treeline work?

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
