Do any of you have any real-world experience cutting down trees that have a hollow section right where you need to make your felling cuts? I realize that without being right there in front of it you can't make all of the necessary judgement calls... But, if you can give me some input as how best to notch and then back-cut this sucker that would be great. If it helps, if the tree wasn't hollow it would most likely drop exactly as it should. But this hollow issue has me second guessing the process. I do have the ability to get a tractor and a very "expensive" rope tied off to it to help with the direction of fall. It is about 30" in diam. My assumption is that I there is no gauruntee that I am going to have any holding wood where I need it.
Thanks!!!
