The excavator down my road meets its match makeing a tree fall.

The safe technique can't be used near a road or wires (dig up roots and push tree over).

That video seems weirdly homo-erotic.

Easy peasy. I used Kobelco excavators. The controls were remarkably tunable. When we bought a new one, the dealer's tech guy would come to a job site, plug his laptop into the excavator, and spend an hour adjusting the "feel" of the controls to the exact preferences of the operator. A skilled operator could run the machine very well by merely wiggling his fingers on the controls. The machine would make big bites or delicate little nibbles.

Haz, that's awesome. I didn't realize controls like this were that tweakable. Good to know.
