The long lightweight bar on the MS260Pro is to not have to stoop and bend down to make the many limbing reduction cuts.
Ha! Save the bending down to the gathering up of all of the many limb-wood pieces.
Doing my DIY, Pilates core strengthening; with quite a bit of DYI, Tai Chi carefully mincing across the limb rows with a running saw in hands.
Up, moving, and working-for-a-purpose is the key to a longer better life.
Any wondering . . . outdoors work go for the one step up bigger tracked toter.
Mine only has three track ground support wheels. It was made narrow with a better pivoting track contact for inside buildings and tight around house garden and construction spaces. Traveling across rough ground she sure does pitch and buck.
Go instead for an outdoors/rough ground capable; go with, a wider, longer, four track support wheels system like Daves-in-Oz’s Honda.
That’s a big Amen. The older you get, the harder you have to push yourself or else that recliner will quickly eat you and spit out a helpless blob. Since I’m past the average expected life span for the US I think I can speak with some authority. It helps if you try and find something to eat other than the supermarket crap as well.
