Gas-powered saws can be expensive, costing hundreds of dollars, while the Dewalt Pole Saw, without any batteries, can be purchased for less than $200. This is a significant cost savings, especially if you already have Dewalt batteries. By utilizing the Dewalt battery system, you can save money and still have a powerful tool to trim trees.
Convenient and easy to use
The Dewalt Pole Saw is not only cost-effective but also incredibly convenient and easy to use. With its battery-powered feature, you don’t have to worry about having access to a power source.

Whether you’re a seasoned tree trimmer or a novice, the Dewalt Pole Saw is user-friendly and designed to make your trimming tasks more efficient.
Battery-powered with an 8-inch chainsaw blade
The Dewalt Pole Saw is equipped with a battery-powered system, which means you don’t have to rely on a gas engine or worry about fuel mixtures. It comes with an 8-inch chainsaw blade, allowing you to tackle a wide range of tree limbs and branches. The chainsaw blade provides excellent cutting power, enabling you to trim limbs quickly and efficiently. With this combination of a battery-powered system and a high-quality chainsaw blade, the Dewalt Pole Saw is a reliable tool for all your tree trimming needs.
Trimming Tree Limbs with the Dewalt Pole Saw
Clearing tree limbs that interfere with the tractor
If you own a tractor, you know the frustration of low-hanging tree limbs interfering with your driving path. These limbs can scratch your tractor or even cause damage to its components. Using the Dewalt Pole Saw, you can easily clear those tree limbs that get in your way. With its lightweight design and moderate-sized chainsaw blade, you can reach and cut the limbs that are higher than your tractor. By trimming these limbs, you’ll improve your driving experience and prevent further damage to your tractor.
Demonstration of how to use the pole saw to cut tree limbs
In our video, we demonstrate how to use the Dewalt Pole Saw to cut tree limbs effectively. We showcase the technique of putting a small cut in the bottom of the limb and then cutting through from the top. This method proved to be successful in our trimming tasks. We also provide tips on how to handle the pole saw and maximize its cutting power. By following our demonstration, you’ll gain confidence in using the Dewalt Pole Saw and achieve great results in trimming your tree limbs.
Satisfaction with the performance of the pole saw
After using the Dewalt Pole Saw to trim tree limbs, we are highly satisfied with its performance. Despite not having the power of a gas engine, the pole saw was able to handle tree limbs up to four inches in diameter. While it may bind occasionally, especially with larger limbs, it offers enough cutting power to get the job done. The convenience of its battery-powered system and the ease of handling make the Dewalt Pole Saw a tool worth investing in. If you’re in need of a reliable and efficient pole saw for your tree trimming tasks, the Dewalt Pole Saw is an excellent choice.
Dismantling the Old Chicken Coop
Assessment of the rot and damage of the chicken coop
In addition to trimming tree limbs, we also took on the task of dismantling our old chicken coop. The coop, which was built in 2016, showed signs of rot and damage over the years. We inspected the coop and assessed the extent of the deterioration. Places like the ramp and the door exhibited significant rot due to moisture getting trapped behind them. We also noticed that the plywood used for the coop was not treated and was therefore more susceptible to degradation over time.
Discussion on the need for repairs
After assessing the condition of the chicken coop, we had a discussion about the need for repairs. Although the coop showed signs of decay, it served us well for several years. We debated whether it was worth investing time and money into repairing the coop or if it was better to dismantle it and start fresh with a new structure. Considering the extent of the rot and the other potential issues lurking beneath the surface, we made the decision to dismantle the coop.
Acknowledgement of the coop’s prior functionality
Before dismantling the coop, we took a moment to acknowledge its prior functionality. The coop provided a safe and comfortable environment for our chickens for several years. It featured a ramp for easy access and an egg box for collecting eggs. Although it may not have been the most aesthetically pleasing structure, it fulfilled its purpose and allowed our flock to thrive. We expressed gratitude for the coop’s service and recognized the need for its retirement.
Arrival of Randy and His Son

During our dismantling process, Randy, a fellow farmer and friend, arrived with his son to haul away the old chicken coop. Randy had expressed interest in the coop when we mentioned no longer needing it, and we were glad to find it a new home. His son, excited to assist in the process, added to the camaraderie of the day. Their arrival marked the transition from removing the coop to loading it onto their trailer.
Loading the coop onto their trailer
With the help of Randy and his son, we began the process of loading the old chicken coop onto their trailer. Taking apart the coop section by section, we safely lifted and transferred the pieces onto the trailer. Careful coordination and teamwork ensured that the loading process went smoothly. It was satisfying to see the coop find a new home and serve a new purpose.
