Such fun Man i miss our missing tree men

Good old thread @Wwallace52590 here’s a leaner

If it'd clear the wires and there was room, I'd drop it whole ~45* away from the house, assuming it hinges like the pines we have here.

I think I started one? I know I have some sketches.

Here is a good thread on anchor swinging https://www.masterblasterhome.com/threads/tethered-leaner-improvement.28554/

...pretty reliable redirect cut. A benefit of angling it as such is that now your hinge is angled away from the lean similar to a coos bay cut which *should* reduce tendency to chair. Not likely a barberchair prone tree but it is a lot of lean. Another idea. Just take all the limbs and top...

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...
