Can The BACKUP Feller TAKE OVER...? Taking Down 3 Masive Trees!

Backup Faller Takes Over! Felling 3 Rain Trees (Dead Wood & Bamboo Clump) | Stihl MS 881 Welcome back to the Is_Woko channel. In this video, our crew tackles a unique team dynamic: with our lead faller on scheduled leave, our backup chainsaw operator stepped up to shoulder full operational responsibility. Facing high expectations, he took on the monstrous Stihl MS 881 to fell 3 mature rain trees (trembesi) across varied hazardous conditions. Here is the operational breakdown of all three trees: 1. The First Tree (240 cm Girth - Big Timber Power Test): The opening giant measured an imposing 240 cm in circumference. Managing timber of this mass with the high-torque Stihl MS 881 was a true test of mental composure for the relief operator, requiring precise face notch geometry and steady hinge retention to guide the heavy drop cleanly. 2. The Second Tree (180 cm Girth - Brittle Dead Wood Hazard): The second tree measured 180 cm in girth and was completely standing dead timber. Dead trees pose extreme risks as dry wood loses all fiber elasticity, making the holding wood brittle and unpredictable. Chainsaw vibration can easily dislodge overhead deadwood or cause premature hinge failure, requiring maximum caution during the back cut. 3. The Third Tree (180 cm Girth - Bamboo Thicket Entanglement): The final tree stood hemmed inside a dense bamboo clump. Dense bamboo culms severely restricted bar maneuverability and blocked vital escape routes, demanding rapid situational awareness the moment the trunk began its descent. Watch the raw, unscripted footage of our backup operator proving his field mettle with the Stihl MS 881 from start to finish. Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! The trees we fell are legally purchased from local farmers for industrial use and are not sourced from protected forests. These premium logs are bound for Jepara, Central Java, where they will be transformed into luxury solid wood furniture, massive live-edge tables, and world-renowned intricate carvings.
