Helicopter Tree Saw

[snocrazy]

This thing was in Munising not to long ago. The most insane thing I have ever seen a helicopter do.

I say we get one of these saw devices and mount it to a tractor. Can use it to brush snowmobile and atv trails. If htey are allowed to use it when hanging from a heli, why not on the ground. 2' blades......

Saw one on a James Bond movie about 20 years ago. That one was even nastier.

I heard there was one used in power line trimming parked in Krupps field last summer. I don't think it would be too good if the saw, or the drop shaft/pole would contact the power line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bad deal!!!

WOW, never seen one of those...pretty cool and seems like a dangerous job for the helicopter pilot

I wonder what costs are of that??

in remote or places ground access isn't easy I am sure its a huge help

but man, some high risks I have to think on that
from wind gusts to getting a blade pinched into things??

no wonder my electric bill keeps climbing?? LOL
