Poulan Pro PP446ET Pole Pruner 31CC Motor, 8" Bar and Chain, Attachment Capable  Product Reviews

"Works fine, it is a little heaver than I thought, but I am sure this is because it is heavy duty. This will make my work at the deer camp a lot faster and easier."

"I find this product does what I wanted. The only fault is the pole is a little weak and appears to want to bend in the joint area. This product is a good value."

"I bought this item new. The engine would not start until I used a shot of starting ether in the air intake. After that it ran fine. The saw end runs OK, but the chain really needs to be a bit longer and I sure wish the head would articulate. It is really easy to get the cutting head pinched by a branch that is at or near the design limit. It cuts, but not quickly - it just doesn't have quite enough power. They include a plastic cap to go over the attachment end that allows you to hang it up, but they only give you one of them (and it comes with two attachments). I thought they were joking, but they give you a plastic bag style sleeve to cover the chain when not in use. I am still laughing about that one. There is no easy way to store the engine end of the machine and no dust cover for the end of the shaft. The engine housing is plastic and it is quite brittle, i.e. it doesn't take much to crack it. Getting parts is proving to be difficult and local stores do not carry the optional attachments. Overall, it is more of a help than a hindrance."

"This machine seems to be just OK. I have used it with almost all of the attachments and you really have to have the motor at full throtle before using it. The edger especially bogs down in thick grass, the pole prunner works well if at full throtle, the cultivator also bogs a little, and the brush cutter bogs in thicker brush and has to always be at full throtle. it seems like the motor really has a hard time getting these attachments going, and at 31cc i thought it would be really strong but it is just really heavy!!! I would not buy another one and I just hope that it will do the work I need it to do!!"
