I forgot - they cut down the trees up north.

They have been replanting forests here for 100 years.

Trees are taller than power poles. They are trimmed to be the 60' to
80' bark trimmed and coated in several chemicals.

Tree works use large machinery that are crane like with saws on the
bottom and grippers that grab the base of the tree saw slice it off and
then lean it over and spit it out with rollers while trimming the limbs
off. Nice thing about Pine and hybrid pine - grow tall and straight.

Massive tree industry of machines that need to rotate in near 180
degrees and back toting tons in the process and back to work.

Like the ground work machines - dredgers and dozers... scrapers, and all
- they have tree counterparts.

John Deer has two divisions of Tree Work machines. Then there is other
companies as well. Used world wide.

If you saw the machine bay - there were a number of these.

I figure they are part of a bearing surface for Tree works or ground works.
