What happens here

With the pole saw assembled and fueled, put on hearing protection and begin trimming branches that hang over the field edges. The primary goal is to remove any limb that is low enough to be reached by the pole saw, as these branches can interfere with tractors, mowers, and other farm equipment, or even hit operators in the face. This maintenance activity, performed every couple of years, prevents the trees from encroaching into the field and reducing usable acreage. Cut the limbs as close to the trunk as safely possible. Smaller cut limbs can be chopped up by a brush hog, while larger ones are typically moved into the woods. The entire perimeter of the fields (estimated at 125 acres) requires this careful trimming.

Goal: Utilize the assembled pole saw to cut down tree limbs that overhang the edges of agricultural fields, preventing obstructions and ensuring clear access for farm machinery.
