What happens here

With the first tree now caught, the Bobcat T180 is used to attempt to dislodge the newly formed "widowmaker." The operator positions the machine to push or pull the entangled tree. During this process, a hydraulic hose connecting the grapple attachment to the skid steer unexpectedly ruptures, causing hydraulic fluid to spray and rendering the attachment inoperable.

Goal: Attempt to clear the caught tree, leading to unexpected equipment breakdown.
