Heavy equipment arrives! Clearing and prepping for MEGA SHOP BUILD!
What happens here
On day two of the project, Frank the operator is already back at work, continuing to clear the path with the Caterpillar 953C loader. The narrator takes a large white oak tree, previously felled, and measures it into 10-foot sections using a Milwaukee tape measure. He then uses a Stihl MS290 chainsaw to precisely cut the tree into these measured logs, emphasizing the efficiency and accuracy required for saw logs. The loader then moves these newly cut logs to a staging area.
Goal: Fell trees and cut them into saw logs for future projects.
