PruningGround

The Jameson Big Mouth pruner kit pairs the wide-jaw Big Mouth pole pruner head with poles and the parts you need to start cutting. It suits crews who want one order that covers overhead pruning without piecing together heads, adapters and rope.

Why a kit

Building a pole pruner from parts means matching the head, adapter, poles and pull rope. A kit takes care of that. You get a head, poles that fit it and the hardware to put them together, so you can go straight to cutting.

The Big Mouth head opens wider than a standard pole pruner, which lets it take bigger stems in one bite. That saves switching to a pole saw for every limb that is a little too thick for a standard head.

A kit is also a good starting point for new crews or a second truck. Everything matches, so there is no guessing about which adapter fits which pole or whether the rope suits the pulley. As parts wear, Jameson springs, blades, links and hardware are easy to replace, so the kit can stay in service for years.

Working with it

Set the hook over the limb, seat it fully and pull the rope with a steady stroke. Cut close to the branch collar without cutting into it. Use a pole saw for anything beyond the head's capacity rather than forcing it.

Check the spring, blade and rope regularly and keep spares. Pole tools near energized lines require qualified workers and properly rated tools. More pole pruners are in our pruners and loppers section.
