Felling smal diameter trees on a southern facing hillside. Some of these will be no larger than 10" and still be 60'+ in height. Pulling is not only slow but requires a long rope or falcrum point to keep from landing on the puller. For the most part 1 wedge will work but the tree will sit back on the back cut before its deep enough to set a wedge and not have it bottom out. What I've been doing is to bore thu the face cut and fan the backside, set the wedge and cut the holdin straps. If theres a better/faster/safer way I'm open...?
