Knocking down a Giant tree with an Excavator

What happens here

After the large tree has been safely felled, the crew proceeds to buck it into smaller, more manageable sections. They use chainsaws (Echo) to make multiple cross-cuts along the main trunk and its major branches. This step is crucial for reducing the large mass of the tree into logs that can be easily transported and processed further. Several crew members work simultaneously to expedite the process.

Goal: Cut the fallen tree into manageable log sections.

How did you get over here? Uh, my ninja climbing skills from being a farm boy. [Music] Are you getting the perfect camera for the perfect shot, man? [Music] [Applause]
