Initial Cuts and Clearing

What happens here

Two individuals work together to start the tree felling process. One man climbs a tall extension ladder placed against the tree trunk, using a chainsaw to cut off upper branches. He also uses a rope attached to higher branches for better control or to guide the falling sections. The other man uses a skid steer to push the base of the tree as it is being cut. Once larger sections of the tree begin to fall, the skid steer is actively used to clear the branches and logs away from the immediate felling area, making space for further cuts and maintaining safety. This process continues until the main trunk is on the ground.

Goal: Safely fell the upper sections of the tree and clear resulting debris.
