Knocking down a Giant tree with an Excavator

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The excavator (Kobelco SK160LC) uses its bucket and fixed thumb attachment to carefully lift and remove large rocks positioned near the base of the tree. This clears the immediate work area, preventing potential hazards during the tree felling process and ensuring a safer environment for the crew.

Goal: Clear large rocks from the tree felling zone to ensure safety.

Okay, I got mine ready. Hey, go for it. [Music] Spin it and watch this whole thing. Heat. [Music] Now, this is a fixed position thumb. And I'm going to guess that there's people going to try to tell me I don't know what I'm doing because I don't have a hydraulic thumb. Well, the fact of the matter is I don't have one on this piece of equipment and I'm making do with what I got. I grew up not having a whole lot. And I learned that if you can make do with what you have and still get a job done, well then it may not be perfect, but it's good enough. And that's what I'm doing here. Good enough for me.
