I'm glad that I lost the tree that waffled my 461 I was very quick to let go of the saw and see where the tree was going

Looks like he had a serious Dutchman on the far side of his notch? (The right side as viewed from his helmet while they are getting him out). The left side has fiber pull, the right side is a clean cut, seems to me that's what caused it to grab the saw.

That does seem to be a very useful tool to have. That constant running info of what we are actually pulling vs what we THINK we are pulling would be Very handy in taking the guesswork out of many situations. Its a tad pricey for me at this point though

Thank you Burnham, your advice is duly noted. Its not on my immediate purchase list, but when its comes to it I now know that 8k will do and the more the merrier.

As far as truck mounted winches go, what load rating is usually sufficient for tree pulling? I think I remember seeing that 9000lb was sufficient? Is it enough, is that overkill? All I have for pulling is a masdaam, a conventional come-a-long or my f250. I like the truck mounted winch option...

Looks to me like they tensioned the line, then cut. When the tree started moving the driver did try to save it, but it must be 2wd or they forgot to engage 4wd cuz the back tires just spun as the tree went. How it looked to me anyway, watching it again and trying to look for specific clues.
