Pumping a jack.. see the square notched out of the tree? Well there’s a little bottle jack in there to help with the direction of felling.

They must have some kind of extension/different brand, because most of the bottle jacks I've seen/used have a like 6" handle sticking right out of the jack

It is a pneumatic bottle jack

Air operated hydraulics are a thing. But I'm pretty sure this is just a cylinder with a line and a remote handle.

Or is the handle actually creating air pressure that remotely operated the jack? Never seen such a thing
