    He was mighty pleased when the tree dropped right. I loved those plant operators, especially the dude who rode his bucket down the slope. What was that person doing at 13:50 with the 4WD tyre?

    the tyre wasn't seated on the wheel rim properly. in order to quickly re-seat the tyre, he used some spray starter fluid or similar which is very flammable. the explosive combustion of the fluid quickly inflates the tyre so that it gets re-seated on wheel rim. The tyre will deflate again as the gases cool, but you have enough time to pump up the tyre the normal way with compressed air.

    My nephew is a tree feller, he dropped one through a gateway, 100mm one side 150mm the other side, that was the smallest gateway he'd ever done.
    Certainly some clever or lucky people on the clips.
