This footage shows a John Deere 1270G harvester equipped with a Waratah H415 head felling a mature spruce tree in the mountainous forest region of southern Poland.
The operator works with precision on a steep slope, cutting the tree safely and efficiently while dealing with challenging terrain, root spread and limited space for the fall direction.

Professional forestry machines like this are used to harvest timber in extreme conditions where manual felling would be dangerous and less efficient. The video highlights the power of modern forestry equipment, the cutting sequence, and the moment the spruce hits the ground.
