What happens here

With the skid steer bucket assisting by holding the trunk, use a chainsaw to cut the main tree trunk into manageable log sections. Ensure the trunk is stable before making cuts. For trees that were previously denuded of branches while standing, this is the final step in bringing them down. A person (Franky) is shown using a chainsaw from the skid steer bucket to cut sections of the trunk, demonstrating a controlled felling technique.

Goal: Safely cut down the main tree trunks
