I mainly bought it for pruning olive trees recently. So far, I have pruned about 200 trees without any problems. Without the extension, its weight is balanced and comfortable. With the 3-meter extension, you can cut quite high, but it's not suitable for the whole day. It is very useful for some cuts that require a higher reach, as it can be easily adjusted in seconds. When I bought it, the carburetor was completely misadjusted and lacked power. After properly adjusting the carburetor, the machine transformed into a powerful tool. With a good chain, it can cut olive branches up to 25 centimeters in diameter, which is the length of its blade. It effortlessly cuts thinner branches like butter. One positive aspect is that it doesn't easily overheat. I wanted it to be detachable. Besides being easy to transport, if it gets stuck in a cut, you can easily detach it and remove it. The relatively tiring aspect mentioned in the review is true when using it with the extra extension, which is understandable. I am satisfied with the purchase so far.
Update after 8 months. It worked perfectly for one olive season. I also used it on other types of trees such as walnut, apple, mulberry, etc. Now, for the negatives... At the beginning of autumn, when I picked it up again, I noticed that the fuel tubes had completely dried out. I replaced them with higher quality ones and everything was fine. I also lost one of the four screws on the handle, which never tightened properly and kept unscrewing due to vibrations. I replaced all of them with similar Allen screws that tightened perfectly. With these minor repairs that I did myself, the machine works perfectly in its second season. I am satisfied and don't mind the small repairs because I paid 150 euros for it and I'm going for a second year of professional use. It has more than paid for itself and continues to perform. I appreciate that it maintains a steady idle and never shuts off during work, unlike other machines that constantly bother you by fluctuating or rev up immediately when you press the throttle. These two characteristics are what make it worth it, and you can work calmly and without strain because I have had bad experiences with many other machines in these areas
