WTB Pole Pruner

One that has telescoping pole with the chain saw on the end....anybody got one that they want to part with....

If you can't find one, and don't want to buy a new one, most tool rental places have them.

Unless you are kin to Paul Bunyon, here is my advice. Look into an Echo with about 8' pole. It does not telescope, but has an attachment that extends it out 3 feet longer for those higher limbs. Advantage is, you don't have to carry around and hold up all that extra weight all the time. One slight disadvantage is it does take a little extra effort to put the extension on. I looked at all of them and chose this model for comfort and price. I went this route after renting a stihl with the telescoping pole, worked it about 7 hours one day(or it worked me). It kicked my tail. After buying the Echo, I've worked it several times for hours at a time, and been very pleased. Side note: I used mine the short way for a while and finally just put the extension on and left it. Still a whole lot lighter than the others.
