It never went out of favour it just became too costly. I really like the
look of it and enjoy doing it too. Today it is confined to edge row spruce
and the like so the harvesters can get a hold of the stem. Shame really

Do foresters still brash?  I thought it went out of favour years ago.

Dunno about arbs but from a forestry view the pole saw is a beautiful
tool for brashing a stand of soft wood, in my opinion.

I personally, would never use a pole saw. I have in the past and they
are fairly impractible. OK, you can remove branches from the ground, but
at the cost of making messy cuts. Often not a target pruning cut and as
someone previously mentioned, causing the branch to twist, tear and trap
the saw.

 Why not climb the tree and cut the branch with a hand saw or your
trusty, accurate 020? (MS200T before anyone comments). It is what tree
surgeons do, afterall.

 I am a conservative in all but my politics.

 Regards

 Phil

Never used them but a few years ago there used to be a bloke who turned
up at the APF show with a compressor and some pneumatic secateurs. I
believe these were developed for vineyards and the wine industry. He had
long-armed ones as well. It's always struck me that these probably had a
place in our toolkits, they'd certainly make some jobs a lot easier.

Don't seem to have seen him in a while but you could perhaps investigate
Ian.
