Electric Tractor...Now will it do ACTUAL WORK?

What happens here

Utilize the Stihl HTA 86 pole saw to trim higher branches from the trees. Adjust the pole saw's length as needed to reach desired cutting points. For lower, thicker sections or to remove entire saplings, use the Stihl MSA 220 TC chainsaw. The goal is to trim limbs to a height that allows farm trucks, tractors, and equipment to pass underneath safely and to remove brush from pasture edges. The presenter explains that trimming in the summer helps to prune back growth, while winter trimming encourages growth. For brush at ground level, the chainsaw is used to cut it off completely.

Goal: Remove tree limbs and brush to improve farm access and appearance.
