The Greenlee 43178 62" Long-Reach Chain Saw is a professional hydraulic chainsaw designed for utility line-clearing, arborist work, and general tree-trimming applications. Its long-reach design allows operators to cut branches that are difficult to access while working from the ground or from an aerial basket, helping improve productivity during tree-maintenance operations.

The tool features a 62.5-inch insulated fiberglass extension tube tested to meet OSHA Regulation 1910.269, providing both extended reach and electrical insulation when working near energized lines. A rugged high-torque gear motor drives the cutting system, while the 0.325-inch pitch chain with a 0.058-inch bar gauge provides a cutting capacity of up to 13 inches, enabling efficient trimming of larger branches.

For versatility in the field, the 43178 includes Greenlee's Super Spool selector control, allowing the saw to operate on both open-center and closed-center hydraulic systems. The tool operates within a 5-8 GPM hydraulic flow range and 1,000-2,000 PSI operating pressure, making it compatible with many hydraulic power units used by professional crews.

Safety and operator control are emphasized through features such as a two-step trigger, trigger guard, and fully covered sprocket guard. The saw also includes an anti-kickback chain and automatic chain oiler to help improve cutting efficiency and maintain smooth operation during demanding trimming tasks. Weighing approximately 8.5 lb, the Greenlee 43178 provides a durable and lightweight solution for professional tree-trimming and utility maintenance work.
