    If you have access to a table saw, a thought on aligning the storage box, stabilizing where you want it positioned… Position the storage box to where you want it, then measure from the back of the storage box to the front of the trailer box. Using that measurement, cut a piece of scrap two-by-four or other board and place between those two surfaces, then use those clamps underneath the storage box to hold it back against the wood while you tighten everything down. Should hold it firmly in place while getting the nuts tightened down. When done, unclamp and pull out the wood (might have to tap it out with a mallet, depending on how snug the fit). Obviously an afterthought on your project, but might help others.

    If u use a piece of flat bar u can put it on the underside so the bolt ends won’t be sticking up on the inside of the box. An old piece of carpet in the bottom of the box will make it a lot quieter going down the road with stuff bouncing around in it. Nice video.

    You could also use some wood (thick plywood or a couple 2 by) to make a platform. Mount that to the trailer rails (counter sink the bolt head or use elevator bolts) and then mount the trailer box to the wood. Think of it like an adapter plate for the bolts to line up.

    ...one thing about the Greenworks 24v polesaw: it is very cheaply made! The aluminum tubes are not anodized; so they stick terribly when putting together; and especially trying to take it apart! You have to use the locking collar like a slide hammer to knock it apart! I suppose there's some magic spray to put on the tubes to make them a little slippery. I'll have to check.

  • @John-cj3ve

    When I was looking for a polesaw;I looked specifically for a Greenworks; and specifically for a 24v one. My two overriding factors were price and weight. Like you; I was already very satisfied with my small Greenworks chainsaws; so for me; Greenworks was the obvious choice. I have since acquired an EGO polesaw; and I don't know why I kept it! The whole assembly is hugely heavy; compared to the 24v Greenworks. I don't know if there'll ever come a time when I need such a powerful polesaw; but I've got it; just in case 🙂

    I shopped Amazon for my Greenworks polesaw. I found a USED 24v one for 80.00. Couldn't tell it from brand new. Given that they make 24v chainsaws up to 12"; why do you need a 60v motor for a 10" polesaw?

      ​@TOMWAP60 I didn't know it at the time; but I am SO glad I got the 24v! I couldn't believe how heavy the saw was at the end of the pole! (One of the things I HATE about being 70 years old! In my 30s and 40s; I could dead lift over 500lbs!) I have since bought the polesaw attachment for my EGO Multi Head tool; and it is noticeably heavier than my Greenworks.
