Didn't see it mentioned here, but I've been maintaining a 10 hectare regenerative agroforest in steep mountainous terrain in the jungle for the past five years, and the tool I find I need more than anything else nowadays, is a gasoline or electric-powered pole saw to start thinning pioneer trees branch by branch instead of felling an entire tree, in order to avoid damaging the specimen fruit trees below.
Extension chainsaw's are so handy. There's a few out there ranging with different reach. The Hayate range includes the massive Hayate 3 Ext 7700 with an extension range of 7.7m - one of the longest pole saws in the world! The telescopic design has two locking systems - a spring loaded locking button and friction clamps which work in tandem to ensure a strong and stable pole extension.
Matt Reece uses electric pole chainsaws - Seems super appropriate given his scale and not wanting to be climbing ladders etc. Will probably get there in a couple years as my systems mature / scale up
Great vid. I was just comparing that silky with a hook to another machete today. It's good for denser wood, and I like the hook for limbing smaller branches off, but it definitely is heavy to use all day.
Great video Byron! Man… Fiskars has a few models of those pole secateurs, because I bought a cheap one a few years ago and the blade snapped off on the first cut!😂
Ah durability is such a big part of what I look for in my tools! These have shockingly lasted years, even after being left out in the rain for weeks, etc Thanks for watching!
@@byrongrows Bro I think your videos are amazing and you have some much incredible knowledge. I would love it if you can make more targeted videos that cover specific concepts and ideas such as this video. It was so helpful to watch. If you make stuff similar to what Geoff Lawton does. I think that would be incredibly helpful. All the love mate
@byrongrows thank you. I'm in Kentucky in the US. I like a lot of what syntropic describes, but applying it in temperate climates and relatively established forests is different than the normal applications of it.

Do you have a video where you cut existing material and form new planting lanes? That sounds like some work I may do. Thanks for the video.
That'll be showcased in an upcoming video

Love your videos & honest reviews on the tools you use. Will get some of the tools using your code if it provides free shipping to Western Australia 🤔
Awesome, hope that code still works for you down under!
You break it down so good!! Thanks. What do you use angle grinder for ?
Thanks! Will make a sharpening vid, but I use it for the machetes, spades and brush-cutter blades
@@byrongrows Word. We use a bench grinder for the same tools.
Yay. I'm the first watching. Lol
