Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The team discusses the strategy for felling the large cottonwood tree. The plan involves placing the Kobelco SK160LC excavator to apply pushing pressure on the tree, directing its fall into a designated treed area. They plan to cut a precise notch in the tree trunk to ensure the controlled fall, minimizing risk to nearby structures. This step emphasizes careful planning for safety and desired outcome.

Goal: Determine the safest felling direction and method for the large tree.

[Music] All right. So, Frankie, I was thinking I'll put the excavator right about where you're at. Yeah. And push it get up on the heart of it there and push the Yeah. I'll put the pressure this way. And if we put the notch here, I'll notch it before you put any pressure on it. So, we'll try to get it to go directly right into those trees right over there. All right. Your yard. That's the game plan. Let's go have some. Are you talking like Stan cares about
