We do a lot of tree felling around our area. Not very often large scale logging, we'll thin woods and even clear fall the odd area, but mostly just falling the odd tree for farmers.
Going back a few months we fell this big Oak tree, it was rotten on the one side and leaning over a lane, so due to health and saftey it had to come down (if it had fallen on a car or someone the farmer would have been liable)
We used an AEC Militant and an AEC Matador to pull the tree over, also used one of our fordson majors to help clear it up.
We are cutting most of the tree up for firewood but some of it we have stored in next summer probably we will be cutting it in to planks with our band saw.

Cutting Down A Huge Oak Tree
My granddad and I helped in the whole thing, but we needed to get some friends who have insurance to fall trees next to roads and what not.
First we got the AEC Matador and Militant into position, climbed the tree and attached the wire ropes around the upper part of the tree (this is not shown in the video)
Then using many stihl chainsaws (we had like 6 there in total) a chunk was taken out of the tree.
Finally the best bit, the two AEC trucks pulled and down came the tree.
Clearing Up The Oak Tree
Heres a video of us clearing up the oak tree, seen being cut down in the previous video.
The AEC Militant and its timber crane and the fordson major were used to clear it up.
The Huge Stihl Chainsaw!
This is our huge old sthil chainsaw, i think its like a 4.5ft bar not sure. No chain break...
Well here it is in action cutting up that oak tree.
