FELCO 290-4M - Premium Extendable Long-Reach Pole Pruner - 4.0m Aluminium Extension - Heavy-Duty Dyneema Pull Cord

FELCO 290-4M - Extendable Long-Reach Pole Pruner - 4.0 m - Aluminium Extension with Dyneema Pull Cord

High canopy maintenance from the ground eliminates ladder risk while demanding stable reach and clean bypass cuts. The FELCO 290-4M telescopes on a lightweight structural aluminium pole to 4.0 metres, pairing a multi-angle rotating head with a Dyneema pull cord and non-stick hardened steel blade for branches up to 35 mm.

The polycarbonate and carbon fibre cutting head rotates from 110 to 60 degrees to align with awkward branch forks, while the Softgrip handle dampens vibration and maintains wet-weather control. Base length is 2,320 mm, extending to 4.0 m total reach at 1,828 g net weight for professional orchard and municipal tree work.

Best For: Commercial fruit tree growers, contract arborists, municipal landscapers, and safety-conscious estate owners who need ultra-long, high-precision pole pruning without ladders.

Key Features:

• Extendable 4.0 Metre Telescopic Reach: Premium aluminium pole telescopes to 4.0 m with exceptional stability and control.
• Multi-Angle Rotating Cutting Head: Polycarbonate and carbon fibre head rotates from 110 to 60 degrees for awkward branch alignment.

Primary Cultivation Applications

• Commercial Orchard Canopy Pruning: High wood and lateral shoot removal in apple, pear, citrus, and stone fruit orchards.
• Perimeter & Street Tree Maintenance: Trimming tall hedging, street trees, and hanging branches along rural fence lines.
• Ground-Level Canopy Thinning: Removing water sprouts and shaping ornamental estate trees safely from the ground.

Pro Tip & Maintenance: Inspect the Dyneema cord for fraying before each session and replace at first sign of fibre damage. Keep telescoping sections clean and lightly lubricated for smooth extension. Cut only within the 35 mm rated capacity; forcing larger limbs damages the head mechanism and produces poor plant wounds.
