Overview
Two YouTubers team up to break down a massive fallen beech tree using a John Deere 2038R with grapple and forks. The real focus splits between the compact tractor's grapple handling large logs and a side-by-side comparison of two STIHL battery chainsaws versus a gas saw. It's a casual, conversational work session rather than a spec-driven review, best for owners curious whether a compact tractor grapple can realistically handle big timber without a skid steer.
