Ouch!

I wonder if this guy learned his lesson? Trying to cut down at least a 24" diameter pine tree with a forestry shredder designed for a 8" max. diameter tree? I'll bet he had the tree tied off to the shredder and then tried to push it over. No skid marks on the ground. Tree snapped off and it pulled the track loader over right onto the sharp trunk. He was aiming for a Darwin award.

Wow - don't know what else to say...

I can't imagine one would tie a tree to the machine before pushing on it.

The mulching head is resting just above a group of branches. Perhaps something snagged on the branches and pulled the machine over as the tree crashed down.
