Wow that's so crazy. I never would have guessed they moved Christmas trees to trucks like that. First video just looks like everything is defying the laws of gravity.

holy fuck helicopters are incredibly expensive to run and maintain. why not just cut rows and drive the fucking truck down and have the guy that is standing there anyway to cut and throw the trees on the truck.

Alot of local farms do this. Which is nice because it creates alot of hard labor jobs which teens usually fill.

My uncle has a tree farm in Saskatchewan. But his is different since he actually plants the trees in rows to begin with, not just randomly spread out like these.
And cutting down 5-8 foot Christmas trees isn't actually that hard of labour..

Well carrying each tree a 100 yards to a trailer in which you have to stack on top of each other in 30 degree weather for 10 hours a day I would consider that hard labour.

except if done properly with any amount of forward planning, you'd only be carrying them like 10 pr 20 yards and someone else would be loading them. And 30 degree weather, holy fuck that's -1 degrees Celsius, that's like long sleeve shirt weather.
