    Just looking at the HSS site and the price is probably high, as it includes demonstration & safety gear.

    A good sharp(new) hand saw will do the trick if the trees are only small. I have cut down trees around 10 feet tall with 1. You can saw all the branches off first in no time from a step ladder

    Thanks all, but that gp saw they say is no good and you need a 'forestry commission licence' for a bloody chain saw so they tell me (HSS)!!!!
