I’m a helicopter pilot since 1991 and I flew this very setup in the mid 1990’s to do exactly this type of ‘trimming’ all over Northern British Columbia.. Was fantastic.. AND the Company I flew for up there…created this unit. It’s nice to see others have adopted it. Great system
the overall flying part is pretty basic until you’re ready and in position to start up the saw system then you just take things slowly and deliberately while doing the trimming. The ground crews go in once you’ve past and start cleaning up the cuttings. Once you’re done cutting, the saw system gets turned off and from there you’re just toting about metal on a rope until you set it back down in front of the helicopter and move back to land…. Really, kinda fun. For me I always found flying 8 - 10,000 lbs of logs off the mountains to be far more dangerous flying.. high stress for sure. ‘Trimming’ was fun

I do wonder whether power lines have ever been sawed with this setup, but this video demonstrates that when all is going well, a skilled pilot can easily avoid that
I used to hunt some property that had a gas line going through it. I always had a food plot on the gas line and kept two cameras on it during deer season. The cameras were set at the very edge of the gas line, looking towards the opposite edge. One year I got several pics of the saw blades dangling from the helicopter as they cut the right of way. They were suspended just a few feet from my camera!! I've gotten a lot of cool pics on my game cameras over the last 14 years, but that was one of the coolest ones. 😊
This is one of those "hold my beer" moments, isn't it. I mean it has to have been a bet, you know, '' I bet you can't fly that chopper down a power line towing a small saw mill" who came up with this madness!
What if we could just rig a big blade and drive along the tree line? What if we dangled the blades from a helicopter….? Oh yeah! That’s the money right there!!!
The big saws on a stick, side trimmers, suck. For trees in the 60'-75' range you have to sit right under what your cutting. Even with deflectors the wood still finds its way to hitting the cab. Side trimmers are nerve wracking. But it's better than the up close and personal of working from a bucket. Or, climbing.
This shows in very clear terms the enormity of the job it takes to maintain our infrastructure, imagine the thousands of miles of electric lines that have to be maintained like this, cutting a pathway through the trees
the saw is hanging on an aluminum beam, not a wire. So the beam can resist torsion. And it is attached to the helicopter in a way that can swing in any direction, but can not rotate around it's axis. The smoke at the end is a clutch smoke when the blades hit a thick tree and it foeces blades to stop spinning, while the engine is still running and the clutch is forced to slip and make smoke.
@@gambler0101 Thank you - it makes sense. What looks like cable in the video seems too flimsy to prevent torsion, but apparently it isn't. One learns every day. 😀
I am today years old when I learned that helicopter tree-trimming is a thing. Kudos on adding 'In The Hall Of The Mountain King' to this video. Perfect soundtrack.
Seems to be genius, trimming the power line right of way in remote areas quite efficiently. A lot less labor intensive than sending in tree trimming crews with boom trucks and chain saws. I agree with you that it seems crazy, but it’s getting the job done in a very efficient manner. 👍🏼
Now I have flown helicopters and I have trimmed trees, but never at the same time. My hats off to this guy, I wish they would have shown us the landing also.
This is the way they trim the train tracks by my house. The pilot literally hangs his head out the side so he can see what he is doing. Pretty impressive.
Being from the Mojave Desert, it was crazy seeing this flying down the highway in the Appalachian Mountains, trimming the trees. What a time to be alive.
Why did no one tell me about this job when i was a little kid? I would have actually have known what i wanted to be when i grew up. What do you want to be when you grow up kid? I want to be the guy flying the helicopter with the giant saw hanging off the bottom!
So that is where they got the idea for that movie scene when that chopper does that same thing to a boat house or whatever it was in that movie. What a fantastic power tool!
When I saw it in the Bond film I thought it was just a stunt but it turned out that’s how power companies keep some of their right of ways trimmed. Poor BMW got sliced right down the middle. I’m sure Q was royally pissed.
I thought this was a joke, that it wouldn't actually work. How do they keep the rope from rotating, keeping the blades straight? Does it have a quick release, in case it gets stuck, like it almost did at the end? So many questions. We need other video with more info.
I want to know how many people laughed at this idea before it was finally taken serious. So.... Could this idea be adopted to drones for domestic home hedges I wonder??🤔
@@drone_wize Great Hitchcock movie. Cary Grant is fleeing mysterious bad guys and one scene is him alighting from a bus in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by cornfields. A plane appears and repeatedly tries to mow him down with its propeller. It ends with the plane overshooting and crashing into a fuel truck with a big explosion.
How does the circular saw sword thing stay oriented correctly? Seems like the gyroscopic precession would become a problem. I can't tell what direction the blades are going, but seems like if one of the saws found some purchase on like a trunk or something, it would either launch itself upward at the helicopter, or pull downward on the line with some force.
the helicopter's rotor system acts as a gyroscope due to its rotation. when the helicopter moves forward, the air flowing over the rotor blades creates lift, which is perpendicular to both the direction of flight and the rotor's axis of rotation. according to the principles of gyroscopic precession, this force induces a torque on the rotor system, causing it to precess. hope this helps!
I know a pilot that has flown quite a few of the tree trimming missions. Takes a certain kinda guy to, not only do that for a living but wake up every day looking forward to being in the air. He is a ball to drink beer with. 😜
Not sure if was the same company but a similar operation staged out of a neighbors pasture a while back and trimmed local power lines for several weeks. An amazing thing to watch.
I heard a buzzing sound earlier this year that made me think someone nearby was running a wood chipper without any pauses. It was there the next day and I saw one of these choppers pull up into view about a mile away with the gang saw underneath it. My area is too hilly for crews to easily access the power lines, much less get to the trees.
I had a fellow in Texas order a control valve from me here in Alaska as he said he couldn't find one big enough. I'd never heard of flying sawblades trimmer before! What an amazing skill.
Most in the aviation community would classify us Rotorcraft Pilots as suffering for some type of mental instability. Now imagine the level of lunacy it would require for an already mentally unstable person to do this type of work? That is this pilot. I salute this Madman!
Developed in the 1980's by the late Joe Hartung, a brilliant helicopter and fixed wing pilot, and sheriff in Baton Rouge. Excellent solution for a very demanding problem ( how to keep the national grid from being overgrown....)thanks for all the respectfull comments
When I was living at my brother’s house the power company had one of these trimming trees near the power lines. It was pretty cool and yet a little bit scary being so close to it
A helicopter connected to spinning saw blades and high-voltage power lines nearby. What could possibly go wrong?
What a genius....you are right!!

Maybe they could do it at night. In a snow storm. In high winds.

Whoever figured out how to get the blades to stay oriented to the direction of flight instead of spinning is the real winner
true! it uses the process of gyroscopic procession to keep them oriented forward
Nobody had to figure that out, its the gyroscopic force naturally at work.

Saw a chopper do this along power lines near I-85 in Lawrenceville, Ga outside our office. All kinds of respect !

How is that "saw pole" kept in the correct orientation (gyroscopic stabilization does'n seem sufficient), and what was that smoke at the end?.

Clutch was smoking.

Where was this taken from because where the helicopter took off the area looked like an old race track.

it's really impressive in person!
Did the tree in the end of the video blow the motor powering the blades?
no, the motor was fine. sometimes when the saw tilts at a certain angle, a small bit of oil can drip onto the engine inside of the cage. no blow outs!

Love how they finished the video just after the gearbox self destructed.
It’s just the forward tilt of the saw cage that causes a small amount of oil to burn off
