| Guys are trimming limbs under the power lines today . Have a Pettibone looking thing with a long retractable boom out the front which has a spinning circular blade on the end . Never seen that before . Thanks |

| Have any of you seen the helicopters which trim trees along the power lines? Looks like a big chain saw hanging down on a cable from a helicopter. Doesn't look like a job I'd want to do. |

Seen the helicopter one. Lands and refuels at our local airport. A series of spinning saw blades on top of each other. I always wondered how they keep it pointed into the limbs. ------------- Own 4 wheel 20, 2-5015, 5020 and associated equipment and 2 electric forklifts. |

| I always wondered how they keep from pinching the blade. Suppose it's spinning fast enough it's a non issue. |

We have the Jarraff here to. Last year they put a younger guy in it and when you start moving along the road bank here with that boom 30 ft in the air is gets a bit tippy.

| Suspension on those allows work off Angled Terrain, watching a operator that knows what is doing run one is artistic. |

I agree. Year before last they had a Hispanic guy running it that KNEW what he was doing. Pretty cool to watch ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Would love to have one at the farm for a week or two. They use them a good bit around here. Beats the daylights out of the Stihl pole saw I use now. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Saw on their site that they have an used one, a 2014. It's only $66,000.00 Would take a LOT of tree trimming to pay for that baby.... Hubert, I think I'd keep the Stihl..... ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
