What happens here

An excavator (Daewoo 75V model) with a hydraulic thumb is used to carefully extract the flagpole from the ground. The machine's operator skillfully manipulates the thumb to avoid bending or damaging the pole, demonstrating precise control. The flagpole is then gently laid down onto the ground. Subsequently, the excavator, assisted by a Kubota skid steer, proceeds to demolish the existing retaining wall. The machine's bucket breaks the old blocks, which are then collected and loaded into the skid steer for removal, effectively clearing the area.

Goal: Efficiently and safely remove the flagpole and demolish the old retaining wall.
