Just being a firewood hack, I've tied quite a few trees to a truck and pulled them over but this guy is dumb. First, I will only pull directly against the lean and second, I make sure I have the truck in 4wd. Also before actually making any cuts, we always put tension on the tree to see if we can make the top move. I'm sure I will get hell from the experts in here and that's fine but knowing your limits and being smart about your skill set as well as physics can keep a guy out of the trouble you see in this video. Somehow though, these videos never get old!

Totally stupid!
Who puts these videos up of these stupid idiots? The idiot himself?Yeah!
But look at the money he save by doing his own trees!

That sounds pretty reasonable*
truck with rear wheel drive on grass actually doesn't add much pulling power. especially with a rope running at an upward angle as the truck tries to drive away it lifts the rear of the truck thus loosing traction. plus all the limbs were on the left side of the tree and nothing on the right.It appears that they were trying to get the tree to drop where the previous fall lay. Too bad there wasn't a close-up shot of the felling cuts. With the truck pulling it that tree should've dropped where they wanted it.
much better the other way around,good observation.truck with rear wheel drive on grass actually doesn't add much pulling power. especially with a rope running at an upward angle as the truck tries to drive away it lifts the rear of the truck thus loosing traction. plus all the limbs were on the left side of the tree and nothing on the right.
You can see his back tires spinning but going nowhere just before the tree starts to move.
