The limb itself is pretty clear of vines. That's what really got my attention. The tree as a whole is choked. The other four trees(They're kinda close to each other) I'm pretty sure I could cut them all through at the base, and none of them would fall. My intention for those is to climb them...

It's not coming down at the base without a machine bigger than my dakota pulling it from its' vine nest. I also have $20 that says something inside will make me switch chains before it's cut. It's not a big deal, but if I lose a post to splitting, it's 30%-50% of the posts in the limb. Aside...

Nah, I don't have pics atm. I've been looking at these since summer, but the boss wasn't clear if that patch of woods was going, and if he was really interested in locust posts. Seems he's come to like the locust I've already cut. Complains about having to predrill the staple holes, but he likes...

Yea, there's a lot of ways to do it. I listed three in the OP. The question was the best way. 8" doesn't give you much room for boring. Coos bay... Maybe. Certainly good for removing wood, also might barberchair ruining a fencepost. That's why I posited a "standard" cut. Face on the bottom, and...

So, expert, how would you do it? No rigging, just cutting. I stated what I considered the best chance of success. Furthermore, I'm just shooting the shit here. That friggin' limb doesn't really matter much, but it's treework to talk about instead of the garbage you shit all over the forum. Let's...

Hmm... It would take a good bit more time, but I could probably lighten the end, and rig it to the main stem to take the weight off. The boss is pretty impatient, but I could maybe just do it ahead of time, then collect it with the trailer when he comes up. I was thinking about clearing the...

Yea, it is. That was my concern. I could see it starting to go over and barberchairing. I'm not so much concerned about my safety as ruining the wood. I can stay out of the way of any breakage, but it would suck losing the wood. It doesn't cost anything but time, but it does have value, and it...

*It's a limb, but it's a beefy limb, especially for locust. Probably grew out to catch more light. The main tree is 30"dbh to the best of my memory, but I didn't study it. I already rejected it for being defective, and a good likelihood of being full of metal. *Acknowledging I may not be 100%...

That job I was talking about that had the locust fenceposts I'm gonna cut has a large locust with an 8" limb sticking out ~50° from vertical. The main tree probably has heart rot, but I could get 2-3 posts out of that limb assuming I don't find problems once it's down. What do you think is my...
