> Right now we’re going back and forth between piecing it down in small pieces from lifts and dumping it all over. I prefer to dump it over.
I heard this on YT about 2020 and I have applied it many times over the years before that "smaller pieces equal smaller problems", especially up in a tree or in a bucket. Many people have been killed in buckets because they took too much off the tree and it came back to bite them, literally.
I have only cut trees off of or over roofs a few times, since I usually work by myself. An example, there is a big difference dropping 5-10# pieces onto slash or plywood from 60" above the roof vs. dropping 50-100# pieces.
I have done a few big trees where I cut most of it away before getting to the trunk with an 8-12 foot pole saw using a 10" and then 14" (on older 14" Remingtons some had the same shaped handle as 10") electric Remington pole saw. So, I was far away when releasing tension and spring poles.
