Dropping Trees with the skid steer. 4K
What happens here
With the compact track loader (skid steer) positioned and applying pressure, the chainsaw operator makes the face cut and then proceeds with the back cut. The skid steer maintains consistent pressure on the tree, guiding its fall precisely in the desired direction. This method is repeated for several large trees, demonstrating an efficient and controlled way to clear a significant area of land, minimizing risk compared to purely manual felling of large trees.
Goal: Safely fell multiple large or leaning trees using mechanical assistance
