The saying goes “A man has to be big enough to realize how small he is.” We can’t do everything, and knowing when to quit is a good skill to have. I don’t push limits if I don’t have to.

10/4 brother. Makes sense and nah I have no interest in pretending I’m a pro. No hooking tractors to leaning tree. However the cut you made makes sense to me I was just in my brain wanting the whole situation as to why. You explained perfectly and nice work. I wouldn’t have even known what to do. I learned what didn’t work for me several years ago. Ended up cutting my saw out of that pinch with a pole saw. Cause I wasn’t getting back close with a regular saw. Lesson learned Also why I go sideways with them now

It's great when you have a photo friend to document your greatest tree cutting moments! Lol ( I'm laughing about that fact in the first picture).
That tree was also hung about 80' up in another Helene damaged tree. I got my bar out with the jack.

@jakethesnake you down under?

Might consider a sizwheel and or double hinge on your tension side if you’re going sideways. That being said not much works on brittle eucs.

I keep it pretty simple round here. East coast Delaware Maple barber chair bad around here and gum will squish down on the bar if they lean much. Other than those two usually keep it simple
