backround.... never saw or knew of these. |
|
was told: they were used in managed growing forests. would self |
|
climb to a desired height, which was set by a dial wheel. trim |
|
branches to promote a taller/higher canopy tree. |
|
these were/are now replaced by very high priced computer type |
|
climbing pruners. |
|
not mine, the kid is though. |

|
have not seen it in use. was told that it was primarily used on |
|
conifers. to grow longer "board wood". believe it was branded |
|
sachs? (not 100% sure on that). |
|
the distance away from the bar to the trunk of the tree could |
|
also be adjusted. |
|
if i could get a hold of Tom, and invite him here, you would get |
|
much better answers. |

Amazing! Have never seen one. Looked at the vids and it seemed |
|
like the one example was radio controlled? |

It has a settable dial for height. |
|
I don't know if it is time based or counts turns? |
