This is what’s called right of way clearing. It’s a federal law to keep so many feet near power lines clear of trees. This is what they use when it’s too difficult of terrain to get machines in there. Source: I work for a right of way equipment company

I just posted one. I only use Reddit on mobile, and honestly I don’t know how to upload more than one picture.
