My Bobcat T-650 pushing over a BIG pine tree. My excavator was on another job site so had to improvise and use the skid to get the stump out. Everything went smooth.
I was good, anytime I am near poison ivy I make sure I get into the shower and do my laundry within a hour or 2 so I know I won’t get it. Yes honestly these skid steers amaze me what they are capable of doing!
soft wood and shallow roots...not as big a deal as it seems. Also, pulling with the chain aimed at the cab is a bad idea. Hook it to the rear and down low.
You are the only one that I can find on video that has ever dug and pushed a tree over with a smooth edge vs tooth bucket. Awesome!
Thanks man! Gotta work with what you have to work with!!!
The 650 has the power to do it!
Now try that with a ash or elm ;)
Good job on that pine
How were you after getting in all the poison ivy? Nice work with the skid steer I wasn’t sure one could push a tree over as easy as you did it.

I'm sure the MBS is quite high on that chain and that bobcat is not going to snap it if that is what your thinking.
So What did you do ! With ! The ! Tree !.Stump ?? After ! Pushing it Down !!???
The tree and stump was cleaned up and put into my brush pile.
A shoulder mounted, fire and forget missile would have helped.
