Stihl HT131 pole saw

Guys, this is my new pole saw. I decide, after much research and reading online, to go with Stihl, which matches a couple of chain saws I have. I like the Stihls and they have always performed well for me. This saw weighs 17.6 lbs and is 9' collapsed and extends another 4 foot to get to 13.6 full length. the stated reach is only 11.6 (from the handle where you hold on). In this video, I show you guys the saw, the stuff that came with it, and how it starts cold, hot and how it cuts. Spring tree trimming is on! Please subscribe and thumbs up if you appreciate the video. Take care, Clay

    I have the same one and love it. I have had it for over 16 years and it still runs awesome. I have only had to replace the fuel filter and give it the recommended maintenance. This saw will put some wood on the ground. I start out with it unextended at first and then go back with it half extended then with it full extended if needed. I highly recommend this saw. It is still sold today at the same price I purchased it for . 👍

    The strap doesn't let you stretch out your arms so it sucks and the saw is very heavy. Stihl list it at 17.3 pounds but it feels like 30 pounds. A handle would have worked much better than the crappie strap. Surprisingly, it really doesn't get up too high even extended out .Sometimes I have used a latter .

It is about $1.00/gallon more expensive than their 10-15% Ethanol fuel.

I could tell an attempt to straighten it had just further messed up the groove where the chain runs. Regardless he filled a 16’ trailer with limbs. After that I let it sit in the shop for a few months. Went to use it a week or so back and it won’t start. Carb cleaner will run it for a brief period so it’s the carb clogged up. I’m really just ranting a little here - It’s held up well. It does come with a very thin curf bar/chain that you will love, but you can’t abuse.

    I think it's because you tend to hold that non-trigger arm pretty much still, only using it to micro move and as a pivot point. It's sometimes the continuous small movements with accuracy and load bearing that irritate the joints and fatigue the muscles. Think of how many folks have carpel tunnel syndrome from mousing all day...

I've cut all kinds of stuff and even cut down small trees just so I don't have to go get my other saw. Also, after sitting all winter, it started on the first pull after pumping the primer a few times. Good saw, I still love it.

    Yeah, I think you could cut up a whole tree if you had to with it. but it would be an awkward ordeal. As WJC was also saying these are specifically designed to cut limbs off at height. cutting stuff up on the ground is sort of cumbersome and you can't control the bar like you can a normal chainsaw. The bar is 12" on this one so it can cut something that thick...

    Kinda quick to judge my friend. I have a bad allergy to mold that is usually found on trees. I have to wear a mask or will suffer the consequences. Ear protection, hard hat, etc should always be used. This was a quick video to help folks out there thinking of buying this tool, not really a long cutting session. I definitely wear ear protection when I'm not making a video and most times even when making the videos (if you watch my other videos) but it makes hearing the camera man hard and I wasn't doing much here. Take care and thanks for watching and commenting even though I think you were a little quick to judge....
