Abstract: The present disclosure to a tree roper device for placement of a line about a designated portion of a tree. The tree roper device includes an elongated pole assembly having a first end and a second end. At least one pole bracket is configured to attach to the tree and operably connected to the elongated pole assembly such that the elongated pole assembly is movable relative to the tree. A rest bar is attached to the elongated pole assembly adjacent the second end thereof and a line having a line length with a first, proximal end and a second, distal end is operably attached to a weight. The line is selectively supported on the rest bar such that movement of the elongated pole assembly positions the line and the weight in a predetermined position relative to the tree.

Abstract: A cutting tool for cutting vegetation including a rotary cutting bit adapted to be advanced through the vegetation in a direction perpendicular to a rotational axis of the bit. The rotary cutting bit can be supported by two bit supports spaced apart axially. The tool can include an extension pole which allows the rotary tool to be mounted adjacent a distal end of the pole. In this way high branches and the like can be cut.

Abstract: A cutting tool for cutting vegetation including a rotary cutting bit adapted to be advanced through the vegetation in a direction perpendicular to the bit's axis of rotation. The tool can include a guard member at least partially surrounding the rotary cutting bit. The guard member can be biased towards a first portion and pivotable to a second position during a cutting operation. The rotary cutting bit can be supported by two bit supports spaced apart axially. A removable handle and shield member can also be provided.
