Power Line Clearance Giraffe

 This big critter was fun to watch! Line clearance keeps evolving, and power companies are relying less on bucket truck crews now that contractors are available with circular saws on a pole. They can't handle every situation, but they can cover a lot of ground quickly and efficiently. The pruning may not be up to arboricultural standards, but they will do total takedowns rather than do big V-cuts that an arborist crew would do. This is one of life's big adjustments. The operator of this machine has been running it for twelve years, and he really knows how to handle it.
