If the height is how it appears to be, that is, well short of the power line, I'd probably just fall it. A pine is not likely to BC, but any of several methods mentioned by others (and I'll add have a properly running saw with a very sharp chain and don't dilly dally around :)) will make it a...

This thread is a real oldie :). Still has good content, for true.

Doesn't look like a bc-prone species. Pine? There should be an anti-bc thread for techniques.

Topping it halfway up, especially with barberchair concerns is worrisome. Watched a coworker barberchair an alder of similar height and lean condition last week during a topping cut. I've been told smaller pieces are better in these situations.

How tall? From the looks, it is not close to 95'. Chaining the trunk can help with barberchairs if not using other means of controlling BC (or with other means). What's in the lay?

Bump

I’d probably shoot a line in it and pull from near the opposite direction of the lean and swing it into the lay. The pull line is set like a stiff arm in football but instead of pushing you are pulling, supporting the weight. There are several good threads on controlling barberchair. The coos...

So I’ve got this down only job to do around the corner from my house, there’s power lines about 95ft in the direction of the lean. Used a laser to find where the tip should land. If it doesn’t drift I could just fell it. What would you guys do? I’ve got to go up a little bit regardless to take...

Just had a big bowl of fresh green beans. Love em. I grow pole beans that make it more fun to pick. I bought a 2 lb bag the other day, grown in US, and cost about $6. Not quite as good as homegrown, but beats frozen ones. Can't wait to plant tomatoes and beans and beets. Usually pumpkins...

I ate all my broccolis and greenie beanies when I was little! Also to paraphrase a wise man; Everyone who's ever eaten green vegetables has died.

Hard to run while dragging a boat anchor. Makes it feel like you ran 100ft, but only made it 10.

I didn’t get the power line set in the pic but they are newer lines and coated. But the old lines were bare conductors and set a tree on fire a few years back in an ice storm.

The power lines were bare/uncoated?
