JustJoe has one. Er, well, he had one until he decided to cut down some trees on his ex-wife's property after many tequila shots. At midnight. Thankfully no one was hurt, but the barn was a total loss. It is amazing how much damage a 150 foot oak tree will do when it comes crashing down. The upside was after Joe got out of rehab, he and his ex-wife got back together so that he could harvest the tree and gather the barnwood. After that they split again because of his sawdust habit.

After that incident, they grounded him. The closest he can get to flying these days is paper airplanes, and even then he has to be watched very carefully.

I agree with cajunpen, that is one excellent and cool headed pilot, reminds me of some cropdusting pilots
I have met. That is also one hell of an engineering job on that gang saw, flexible drive line and all, wonder
if Helluvawreck built it before his dungeon got wiped out. They must have spare saw blades and swap them
for sharp ones, but I wonder how often. Thank you for sharing.

Something similar was shown on one of the later James Bond movies used for trimming trees adjacent to an oil pipeline. I'm 99% sure the power is self contained in the box at the top of the mast to which all the blades are mounts. As for the monkeys, they were effective, but got too expensive after they formed a labor union!

I actually have seen one of these at work. The power line company sent it in to trim a high line right of way. Its an amazing tool and did a pretty good cut all things considered. And loud Doesn't even begin to describe it
