ladders and chainsaws

Just a note to you guys who don't cut a lot If you have to get on a ladder to cut with a chainsaw, DON'T DO IT.

If you can't drop the tree then hire someone who can. There is nothing more dangerous than getting on a ladder with a chainsaw.

There have been a couple of incidents around where I live/work with home owners on ladders cutting branches and were seriously injured. At work we either climb (spikes and belt in a saddle) or in the bucket truck.

There are special saws called top handle saws (for instance Stihl MS200T) which are designed for climbers and bucket truck users. Even these are not safe on a ladder.

No boat, back in the suds.
