Silky ZUBAT pole saw The Silky ZUBAT pole saw is an ultra portable, ultra light telescoping aluminum alloy 2-section pole system with rubber grip. It extends from 5-feet-9-inches to 8- feet-9-inches. The 13-inch blade comes with a scabbard. The poles are oval shaped, providing precise control over direction of the blade, reducing bending. The base pole has a pole-end shock absorber and rubberized overgrip. The precision-ground, razor- sharp teeth with 4 cutting angles provide fast, smooth cutting action. The taper- ground profile reduces drag. Stihl MS 271 Wood Boss Built tough for storm cleanup, tree felling and firewood cutting, the Stihl MS 271 Wood Boss chain saw is designed with improved ergonomics and equipped with a low-emission, fuel-efficient engine. The Stihl MS 271 produces 50-percent lower emissions, reduces fuel consumption, and delivers 20-percent longer running times as compared to similar traditional 2-stroke Stihl chain saws. Designed with comfort in mind, the Stihl MS 271 utilizes a compact, ergonomic design with an advanced anti-vibration system to help reduce operator fatigue while providing optimum control. A side-access chain tensioner makes for easy chain adjustment, and the pre-separation air filtration system offers greater cleaning efficiency and longer filter life. Tanaka TCS-3301PFS Featuring a lightweight and compact design, this top-handle chain saw is ideal for specialty work like pruning, shaping and hobby work. Powered by Tanaka’s PureFire low-emission 2-stroke engine, it contains a chrome-plated cylinder; forged-steel connecting rod; and heavy-duty, gear-driven oiler. In addition, this saw has 2 bar mounting studs to keep the Oregon chain at peak cutting efficiency. A fuel primer bulb, auto-return choke and pull-force reduction system result in quick and easy starts. It is backed by Tanaka’s 7-year consumer warranty, 2-year commercial warranty and 1-year rental warranty. www.greenmediaonline.com/productportal www.arborage.com Arbor Age / May/June 2011 17 For more information about any of these products, and more, visit
