Cutting Locust Trunks

The tree climber has put a strap around the remaining trunk and attached it to wire from the crane.  He comes down - you can see him below on the right taking off his gear.
Meanwhile, a chainsaw with an extra long blade is used to cut the trunk at the base.
As it is cut through, the crane gently lifts the trunk up and lays it down with the other logs.  In the last picture, notice that each log has the strap left around it so they can be easily picked up again and put in the truck.
