I've read some posts where people discuss using their FEL to push down tree's. Naturally how big a tree you could push down would depend on your FEL and tractor size. I have a NH 2420 (60hp / 4WD) and a NH270 FEL. How big a tree could I push down without damaging the FEL? Of course pushing tree's down is dangerous and safety is important so I'd be interested in safety information also. I guess my bigger question is how much can your FEL push without breaking it. Obviously a tractor and FEL is not a bulldozer. And a FEL is probably more prone to damage than a solid blade mounted on the front end. We just had a major ice storm here in North Central Arkansas and I have some tree's which simply need to be pushed down and cut up. Which do you feel is a safer way to get a tree down... knock it down with a tractor or fell it with an axe and chainsaw?
Here are a few pictures of the storm's aftermath. That last picture is the road leading to our house.
