What happens here

With both poplar trees on the ground, the presenter begins the process of 'bucking' them, which involves cutting the trunks into manageable sections suitable for firewood. He uses the chainsaw to de-limb the trees and cut the main trunks. Next, he addresses a separate issue: a large hickory branch that had broken off a main tree and was hanging dangerously near a road. He drives his UTV to the site and begins sawing the broken branch into smaller pieces. He initially attempts to free the branch by cutting it, but it remains stubbornly lodged, indicating the need for a backhoe to safely bring it down.

Goal: The felled poplar trees are bucked into sections, and the extensive brush is cleared. The presenter also tackles a large broken hickory branch that was precariously hanging over a road.
