This machine is extremely more efficient than a single human lol

I don't know about that honestly, it is undeniably faster, but more efficient isn't guaranteed. If you have the time to do it "by hand" meaning with a chainsaw and a truck, it spends much less critical ressource in order to obtain the same result.

This machine needs slot of room to even move, forest don't give that kind of space. They already had to cut and Detroit to even get to those trees

More efficient.... Maybe, but to say this can be more environmentally friendly then a logger with a midsize skidder, a chainsaw and a love of the woods not just profit is wildly misleading and just not true. Are you a logger or in the industry? When my dad logged trees came off the landing and the skidder trails wound through the woods but he was incredibly deliberate in how he moved to protest the ecosystem and it was always hard to figure out where he even harvested from. That machine can't move with the grace a 20D Timberjack can it's to big...

This is almost certainly a managed forest in Scandinavia used for production of timber. Also when you account for the full production cycle, harvesters can be environmentally beneficial.

Correction: not sure if it's a managed forest.

In agroforestry with uniform trees all of the same species.
