26" forked cherry, fork started about 5' off the ground but I could see the seam running all the way to ground level. Maybe 50' tall. About 40% leaning east and the other west and the drop had to be to the west a/c property line and there was also a fence against the east side of the tree. Concerned about the east side breaking loose when I made my back cut. I chained the east side of the tree about 15' up and hooked up to the truck in the west field and tensioned it. Face cut as close as I could to the ground and then bored my back cut so I could avoid the fence, about 3" above my face to within couple inches and then pulled it over with the truck. Tree also weighted to the south so I did all my cutting from the north side, just barely enough with my 25" bar. Everything went good, my question being; was I really stupid and was there a better way to do this?Yes, I should have taken pics! Tree did split during the fall and there was nothing there except included bark in the fork, no wood whatsoever.
