No--I am a retired Tool&Die Maker and I fabricated the rear handle.
Before, both hands were on pole in front of power head.
Now I cut with one hand on pole and the other on rear handle. (power head between hands)
This made it much more balanced with 12" or so increased cutting reach.
The HT250 is a specialty pole saw.
It is mainly sold to loggers for cutting off excess length of logs on trailer.
It is a 40cc saw that uses the same Bar as the 192t and 200T and I don't know of a larger cc pole saw that is manufactured.
I am in agreement that a telescoping pole would be more...
I have a Stihl HB250 for sale that is in pristine condition.
As far as I know, they are still sold new, and you can go to Stihl site for specs. I am in N.W. Alabama.
Shoot me a pm if interested.
