What happens here

With the tree felled and processed, the presenter switches to heavy machinery for cleanup. He gets into a John Deere skid steer equipped with a grapple attachment ('Skiddy Bob') to efficiently collect and move the brush. The grapple makes it easy to scoop up large piles of branches and transport them to a designated area for disposal. He then uses the skid steer to load the bucked logs onto an International dump truck ('Tater'), which will be delivered to a neighbor for firewood.

Goal: Clear the brush and load logs for disposal or repurposing.
