On the euro one I think he faced but bypassed, maybe left a tiny hinge and the wedge disturbed it. Also notice all the spinning and rolling…lot of limb interaction we can’t see above I think.
I think it was leaning heavy to the lay. Maybe also already split. I don’t think they were pulling to the lay with the rope. I would have bore cut.

I guess now we can pick on me:
The first one leaned left so I adjusted the gun a little right…everything I had been cutting was pretty punky and not holding. I’m used to brittle hard leaning desert trees. These were a lot of fun cuz one could actually do stuff with them without pulling. So...
In the first one, the eucalyptus went with the limb weight towards the road instead of towards the skid steer. Maybe intentionally, we can’t see his hinge gun/aim, but I think not. I sure wouldn’t drop it anywhere near the road. I would have had the pull point closer and more opposite the lean...
I’ve noticed that most people have no idea what it takes to properly fell trees or what goes into it. Most around here consider it dummy level work. Customers and “tree guys” neither know what it takes.
I could do that. Place a flat piece of wood on the end of a firewood round and press.
The press brings a point to mind...one must always be careful to keep things straight and parallel when pressing, or things go flying. If I were jacking a tree over and it had traveled far enough that that...
