What happens here

Frankie, equipped with a chainsaw, makes the necessary cuts at the base of the first tree. Simultaneously, Stanley operates the Kubota mini excavator, positioning its grapple arm to apply controlled pushing force on the tree trunk. This coordinated effort ensures the tree falls precisely in the intended direction, away from identified hazards. Upon successful felling, Stanley expresses relief at the tricky operation's safe completion.

Goal: Safely fell the tree in the predetermined direction.
