yep.
that's the ideal.
it isn't always ideal but often enough.
butt line really helps.
for big limbs on a house we'll get a block nice and high in the rigging tree then tie the working end to the fallen limb shy of the house.
we'll crank it to relieve as much weight as possible then start...
all depends.
limb removal.. yes. facecut then back cut. sometimes a mini porti on the butt to keep the swing down.
sometimes murfs cut.. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/eUQ1p2QPdxU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
surely by cranking the grcs and lifting the limb/tree in question you're removing a lot of the shock...
often, if we crank too hard the piece will jump off the stem.
