self climbing tree pruner

backround.... never saw or knew of these.
was told: they were used in managed growing forests. would self
climb to a desired height, which was set by a dial wheel. trim
branches to promote a taller/higher canopy tree.
these were/are now replaced by very high priced computer type
climbing pruners.
not mine, the kid is though.

have not seen it in use. was told that it was primarily used on
conifers. to grow longer "board wood". believe it was branded
sachs? (not 100% sure on that).
the distance away from the bar to the trunk of the tree could
also be adjusted.
if i could get a hold of Tom, and invite him here, you would get
much better answers.

Amazing! Have never seen one. Looked at the vids and it seemed
like the one example was radio controlled?

It has a settable dial for height.
I don't know if it is time based or counts turns?
