Is that the wheeled one Andy?
Looking on the Henchman website I can see the wheeled variety, with the corner stabilising feet, but not with 4 legs.
I use a Hedgemaster Classic which has four adjustable feet and a nice big square platform that feels safe. It's big, a bit heavy to shift about and the feet adjustment is sometimes a bit of a fiddle. But overall it has got me through plenty of jobs safely and quickly enough. I've found that working on the square platform saves a good bit of strength and energy over a day's work. The manufacturer has started to replace the foot brackets with aluminium ones as the older plastic ones tended to shatter under impact.
I've never used a chainsaw with mine, but a couple of tree surgeons I work with now and then quite happily use chainsaws with the platform set around the 6' mark.

+1 for the Henchman, Saves lots of time and makes the job safer.

The Hi Step Maxi - this the same one?

Thanks for the info.
My original idea was a longer platform, a little bit like a scaffolding stage, but looking at those 4 legged platforms, they will do the job.
It´s a bit of an expense, in the long run it will pay off.
It´s good to know the chainsaw guys use them too, gives me confidence in their safety.
