I need to remove about a dozen mature red oak trees, about 80' tall and 18" - 24" in diameter. I have taken some down with chain saws, but I'd like to try something else.
I spoke with an operator about using a dozer. He said that small to medium size dozers really don't push that well. I wonder about using a excavator. I would use the excavator to cut out the root opposite to the direction I wanted the tree to fall, and then use the bucket to push it over. Would this work?
