Stihl MS661 Chainsaw Cutting DANGEROUS TREES for SHOP PROJECT !

What happens here

With several trees felled, the immediate task shifts to managing the resulting logs and brush. The presenter plans to buck the main trunks into sections, separating them for the sawmill to be turned into lumber or for use as firewood. Smaller branches and debris will be gathered into large brush piles, some of which may be chipped using a wood chipper attached to a tractor. This chipped material will be spread in the cow pastures to build soil and provide biomass, potentially aiding in preventing parasites for the cows. The issue of the 'hanger' tree is noted as a dangerous 'widowmaker' requiring a cautious approach to resolve.

Goal: After felling multiple trees, the presenter outlines plans for cleaning up the site by bucking logs for lumber and firewood, creating brush piles, and chipping some brush for biomass in the cow pastures.
