How the pro’s drop sketchy dead Ash trees. 4K

What happens here

After tree sections are cut and lowered, a large truck equipped with a grapple loader is used for efficient debris management. The operator uses the hydraulic grapple to pick up fallen branches, brush, and smaller logs from the ground, then deposits them directly into the truck's chipper or cargo bed. This process quickly clears the work area, making it safer for further operations.

Goal: Efficiently clear tree debris from the work site.
