I didn't want to post these on Grandpa's post below.

I've seen Duke energy contractor using a buzz saw on a long pole on a 4 wheel machine.

I've also seen trimming trees using a helicopter and saw blades attached.
 
Local power company uses crane trucks with a saw blade on the end.Loggers are due to start cutting on my farm in the next month or so will be interesting how they do it.
 
No, I think you should have added it to Grandpa's post. Think the guy in the skid steer is on the wrong side of that leaner. I too have seen the helicopter saw up close, I guess there are still a few VN era chopper pilots living.
 
Wish I had the one in the first picture for about a day to trim up limbs around some woods where the longarm mower can't reach high enough to get them.
 
The saw on the skid loader doesn't have any gripper, so the tree is just free to fall wherever it wants? Most timber in our area is cut with feller-bunchers, and it real good popple 1 machine can lay down 500 cords in a day, that's 40 semi loads! They have a regular gripper and an accumulator, so in smaller trees, under 12, they can take up to 3, one after another, and lay them down together. The saw is about 50 inches in diameter, so they can cut trees up to 22 inches. When they grab a tree there is just a big shower of chips and the tree is off the stump.
