In my experience I use Galahad 9 out of 10 timesChain saw ringlets much faster The plane works but feels a little "jumpy" Perhaps a comboRemove the angle to pencil Mark with the ringlets and smooth with the planeI am very fond of the holey Galahad attachments for shaping anything wood .

I prefer the Galahad, or Kutzall Extreme Wheels for leveling. I find the Turbo Plane accels at cutting concave and blending curves. For me personally (owning all three) i feel the Cutting action of the Galahad is a little easier to control in leveling. Try not to buy the Lie that Says, "little or no sanding is required following the Turbo Plane" they all require finish work with sanding equipment if you desire a really nice clean surface. Hope this Helps. Have Fun with your project!!

I have this and a traditional. Needless to say the traditional works better on plants low to the ground but for larger shrubs the Poulan is perfect

I have a Heartland 5th wheel that the Anderson levelers were a tight fit for. I simply cut about 2 inches off the leading edge at a 45 degree angle and they fit great. These levelers are quick and easy to use, almost indestructible and work really well. My only issue with them was the length, as you know and they could be a little wider. In soft soil/pea gravel I have had a few instances where they would sink a little after set up, throwing the leveling off. To answer the question though, just shave about 2 inches off the leading edge of one of them at a 45 degree or even steeper angle.

Honestly, I don't know. The one I purchased will accommodate up to around a 5 or 6 inch tree I think. It would not work for your application.

There are probably better tools out there for what you described, but the Kukri will serve you well. It comes out of the box very sharp, but if you do a bit of a touch up, the grass won't be a problem. Thick vines and small saplings will present no problems at all!

personally, i find this product to be lacking in "woody rooting." i have tried this product with lilacs and marijuana with mixed results. i find the hormone gels to be a better option. maybe not as cost effective, but way more successful rootings. the instructions online claim that if you scrape off the first part of the bark/skin of the cutting, to get to the cambium layer, i would have better results....but i did that. my inference is that you try it. use more than they say to use. and pray for good luck. ;-)

There is a "Patio kit" that might be better served. Both kits come with 25 psi regulators. You will want a lot of 1/4" lines where as the "Garden kit" is built on a 1/2" trunk line. The Garden kit is very accommodating though and will serve your needs but you may need to purchase additional 1/4" line and emitters.

I was going to stick a small pipe up through the bottom so I could anchor it to the tree. Don't remember if I'd have had to make the bottom opening bigger or not. I had my tree treated and woodpeckers left, so I gave it to a neighbor who was having problems with the cedar on his house.

Yes for trolling it's the level wind. Get a penn 320GT Same weight and dimensions as the Jig aster with a level.

I only used it for poison oak with maybe 1/4" thickness at most. 1" would definitely be a struggle, better off with a pole saw for that....

Susan, I also would say no. It is more for limbs hortizontally or close to it. You may try and use a long handled pruner model just as long. It will shear off the top as long as it is not over 1" diameter trunk. Mike

I had to look that one up as I live in the mid - west, but yes I imagine it would based on the picture I saw. The only problem we ran into was branches that were 1 and1/2 in diameter, but those were hard woods in most cases. might do a bit better on softer woods and in a palm type branch I believe it would do fine.

I don't recall the directions stating anything. I currently have mine on about at 16" tree. I think you could go down to about a 10" and be ok.

Kristy, Kittens would do better on this tree. Straight up, I will be returning the tree. That is one problem for my 4-- 5yr oldsThe Noxious odor is still with it also. The 72 in with a ramp, might be better for your cat. hope this helped

I'm not familiar with arborvitae, but from pictures, they look like evergreens which tend to be softer than the oaks I've trimmed. If the part of your tree you are trying to top has a fairly rigid trunk, the saw should work. If the trunk sways easily, but is relatively heavy, you might be able to use the sway to help cut (with some practice). If the trunk is lightweight or you need to trim small branches, you probably need a pruner attachment.

Buy the next one up, the higher model is a way better design. They grab deep roots very we'll. believe me for the least amount of pain spend the extra money!

I'd stick to hardwoods, hickory preferred. You aren't going to get much better than the handle on it. As far as shortening it,I wouldn't see a problem just cut it with as fine tooth of saw blade as possible to avoid splitting.
