A Tree dropped on the Kubota

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The presenter moves the Kubota SVL 75-2 skid steer to tackle the final tree, a large partially uprooted specimen. He uses the powerful bucket to push the remaining portion of the tree and its massive root ball, causing it to completely fall over. He intentionally tests the skid steer's Falling Object Protection System (FOPS) during this heavy operation. Frankie then diligently works on delimbing the fallen tree and making precise cuts with the Litheli chainsaw, while the presenter in the skid steer assists by pushing the large roots and trunk sections for better access and to clear the ground.

Goal: Fully fell the largest tree, process its timber, and manage the root ball.
