Holy crap! Your new dozer?!?@? That sucks. I'm assuming nobody was hurt (by the wreck... was anyone hurt upon your arrival?).

Poor judgment, pushing against the lean, stayed into it too long to make sure the tree didn’t come back and fall on the dozer. Just like with a chainsaw you try to read the tree to see where it wants to go and if there is no problem for it to go there such as a power line, house, fence, etc then put it where it wants to be. This tree should have been pushed from the upper side to get it to go the direction it was already leaning. For some reason this guy went against everything he had learned...perhaps he had gotten careless because he had operated this dozer 5 years and had operated 15 years total. When a tree with a large root ball starts going you should back off just like when a tree starts going with a chainsaw...that root ball is many times larger and heavier than the dozer and when it starts going and you are on a little slope or something it can come up out of the ground like a huge fulcrum and actually throw a bulldozer...my friend was mad because the operator used poor judgment...So what’s your take on this. Since the guy had operated that machine before, is it something that just happened or is the guy a non operator I guess what I’m saying , was this guy ever a good operator
Electrical?My brother in law sent me this picture this morning. Ugh. All I know is the operator was extremely experienced, and the equipment was paid off as of March 30. Heavy equipment ain’t no joke.
