I thought of another option. If one decided not to tackle them, other than finding a skilled feller, you might could find a logger with a skidder that could just go in and push them or winch them over. Although, he'd tear up my woods getting in there.
OTOH, I got three down yesterday looking up a lot, lol, with no issues other than No. 4, I didn't get down because I made the back cut at an angle instead of horizontal and it came into the back of the face cut at the same level, too low. I screwed up that back cut. I was losing too much light at sunset, I just left it for another day.
I was surprised to find termites when I made the face cut on one of the trees, and it still had (dead) leaves on it!
