How does palm cut on a slope, not square? Do you have to catch your saw with one arm? I saw a video of some French guys sloping pine rounds, presumably junk wood, as with palm material. They used the pushing chain to help move the rounds out and away, but were catching their 660 (I think) with...

The butt cut with 12" wedge as size reference to the butt log, was to show the log size on the ground that came from up to by "Magic". Gord had a "Magic Cut" titled video years ago on TB. Read the description in his YouTube video https://youtu.be/lW-_IO08NdI. Hard to see it in action, though...
