There was someone killed near us in the last few months trying this sort of stunt - because his boss didn't want to fork out on properly trained tree workers.
idiots! how you didnt bend the ramshaft on that little 8 tonner i dont know or get somone hurt, you either should of felled the tree properly with a large gob cut and hinge or pulled it with a long cable. all very funny till somone dies isnt it!
I'm glad that it went as well as it did, but that was not even close to safe.
There is nothing wrong with using a digger to pull a tree down... but use chains and pull straight in the direction that you want it to fall, from many feet away.
doing it like it was done in this video risks flipping the digger over, having a tree hit the digger, or possibly blowing a hydrualic cylinder or worse.
Tree felling is serious,it can kill in a heart beat!
...Nice cab gaurding on that machine, you could drop that tree on yourself and walk away with cab gaudring, but this guys sitting in a greenhouse. I hope he got good and drunk before trying something that risky.
Pulling over a tree with a winch actually works quite well, though generally the technique is used with a bulldozer which is heavy enough and with a long enough, strong enough cable and there are no obstacles (ie your house, that high voltage line) in the way. You get the roots that way. Certainly not a technique for your back yard in down-town wherever!
I'm sick of workplace safety, if idiots are prevented from being idiots,they then live,have idiot kids, then the world will soon be full of, well even more idiots.
well boys and girls, theres how not to do it, you never push, only pull or put a jack in & lift, this vid could easily have been used as evidence in a coroners inquest, still could be used as evidence in a HSE prosucution but that would be a bit tough
I heard that someone tried pulling down a lightning damaged tree with a winch on a tractor, & ended up lifting the tractor totally off the ground into the branches! It turned out the tree wasn't as dead as thought!
looking closly at the clip there doesn't looklike there was room in that garden for a tractor and winch and speaking as a professoinal that digger wouldn't have tipped it would only go until the hitch stuck into the ground
If you knew the first thing about what you're talking about you'd realise he has already cut it with a chainsaw. My guess is he had to guide the tree down a certain way to avoid a wire or building or something like that.
Just the guy holding it the wrong way, I'm told it can be formatted differently but haven't a clue how! Just have to tilt your head like the rest of us....
Rotate the fucking video!

Well it is an excavator not a digger. But what would we expect from a person that can not even hold the camers in a correct position.

Forestmachines 4 years ago
Then he should have tied a rope near to the top of the tree and pulled tension on it in the direction he wanted it to fall as it was being cut.
That's the best way for a novice to drop a tree.
A professional would drop it exactly where he wanted.
I still say he's a numpty.
So are you if you think he did it right.

I'm not saying he was doing it the right way, just pointing out that in your haste to have a go, you exposed yourself as bit of a a tit.
