How NOT to help trees guys. (while building a retaining wall)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Large trees are removed from the site to make way for the retaining wall. An excavator equipped with a grapple attachment is used to carefully move a large, already fallen tree. Workers use chainsaws to fell standing trees, and a Kubota R530 wheel loader with a chain is employed to pull down another tree. During this process, a branch hits the Kubota, shattering its side door window. This demonstrates the inherent risks and potential for equipment damage even in carefully planned operations.

Goal: Clear trees from the construction area while managing unforeseen risks.

Tools and materials

  • Chain — Securing trees to the wheel loader for pulling
  • Chainsaw Stihl — Felling standing trees and cutting branches
  • Daewoo 75V Excavator Daewoo — Moving large fallen trees and assisting with tree felling
  • Ear Protection — Protecting hearing from loud machinery and chainsaws
  • Grapple Attachment — Gripping and moving tree trunks and branches
  • High-Visibility Clothing — Ensuring workers are easily seen on the job site
  • Kubota R530 Wheel Loader Kubota — Pulling trees and moving debris
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes from flying debris
