It's not coming down at the base without a machine bigger than my dakota pulling it from its' vine nest. I also have $20 that says something inside will make me switch chains before it's cut. It's not a big deal, but if I lose a post to splitting, it's 30%-50% of the posts in the limb. Aside from that, this is a tree site, and a theoretical discussion of the best way to cut wood while preserving integrity is precisely on topic, and if it doesn't matter much in this case, it may matter more to something else, or to all the invisible people that read threads, and never join up or post.We are talking about fence posts here, the future kind not the kind attached to a customer's fence. Drop that shit at the base, the way it's leaning ideally, and cut them up standing upright with a properly sized saw. If you miss you end up with more firewood, which is what most of the tree sounds like anyways. That's how a logger would do it, and if that didn't work the next one he cut would.
edit:
This is the site, though the particular location isn't quite as bad as this. The particular location is far left in the distance...
