Wow, interesting! I have never heard of or even considered anything like this. Can't wait to try it out.
On heavy head leaners I usually end up doing a modified Coos Bay. I sort of do it all in one cut. I start with a vertical cut on the far side of the lead, then pull the saw around over the...
The big problem is that a tree isn't going to barber chair unless it is already cracked or weakened vertically. As Daniel proved with his skid steer, if it isn't already prone to splitting then it will just splinter apart when excessive force is applied.

How big of a tree was it?
