Wow, I've never seen one even close to that long! I have a couple pole saws, but they are both maybe 15' when extended. Even that's pretty helpful. I put about a 24' ladder on some of the trees, climb up about 18' with the pole saw. It helps for getting the lower limbs out of the way of the rope saw. But if I see one of those 35' things, I'll certainly get one!
