A VERY COOL VIDEO, thanks.:thumbsup:

Neat video. Wonder who thought it was a good idea to pull with the dozer in reverse?! They were really jerking the load.

why did they not just route the road around the tree or call me My power stroke F250 would have moved it without all the fuss:cool2:

Awesome! Gave me goosebumps, thanks for posting.

 

[MIKE R]

Wow. The power needed to move that tree. That would have been a real bad time for one of the equipment to throw a track.

 

[Ductape]

Lunacy. I would have taken care of the problem with a chainsaw. Plant a few new trees if it hurt anyone's feelings.......

 

[Pete Judd]

WOW, but how did they get the I beams under the tree? Quite a feat.

Must... not... say... powerjoke!

Pro tip: never pull backwards with a dozer. The more cautious folks don't even like to backdrag when on a slope. Also the excavators undercarriage are reversed! Those must be rentals.
