If you need a lightweight and compact chainsaw for pruning hard-to-access branches of the tree, a top handle chainsaw could be the one for you. They are usually used in elevated locations where you might need to climb the tree up high to be able to cut the tree limbs effectively. This kind of chainsaw allows the saw operator to climb high while being able to balance the chainsaw and maneuver it comfortably to cut from different angles. Choosing The Best Top Handle Chainsaw This professional top handle chainsaw features a 35.8cc gas engine and a 16-inch long guide bar with a chain. The professional-grade 2-stroke engine comes with a starting system that requires a reduced effort to start the engine. It can be used by arborists for climbing trees and cutting branches while keeping the chainsaw balanced thanks to the top handle. When looking for top handle chainsaws for sale, also consider the size of the chainsaw. The best top handle chainsaws usually have small-sized guide bars that are enough to cut branches. These chainsaws usually have guide bars under 16 inches long so they are suitable for pruning trees without being too long and getting in the way among a maze of tree branches.
