Cutting Above Obstacles:
The unit's long reach makes it possible to prune
branches that are overhanging obstacles, such as
rivers or lakes. The tool angle in this case depends on
the position of the branch.
Cutting From a Lift Bucket:
The unit's long reach enables cutting to be performed
next to the trunk without the risk of the lift bucket
damaging other branches. The tool angle in this case
depends on the position of the branch.
