So this raises an interesting question on my part. Examples of downing trees with a dozer that I have found on YT show taking out the roots on each side of the tree than pushing the tree over in the direction of the non-cut roots. As I see the comic above... roots are taken out perpendicular to each other on two sides and then the dozer comes at the tree from a non-cut root side. Is it me or does that seem counter productive as attached roots will be under the dozer?

I see what you mean, but if the drawings of the small trees in the background are accurate he is coming at it from the cut side. It does show a cut on the fall side so maybe that artist thought you cut all 4 sides. This is page 28, If you look at page 3 it shows what is the more conventional method. Osha would love these photos. They would probably have a heart attack.
