Bwildered would swing'm back around without mechanical advantage. After all the edumicating he has been getting on here he must be 12th Dan leaner whisperer by now.
 
Yes
If you have a look at an earlyer pic of the re groth most of the old stums are rotten and un sound so its way safer to fell them above the crap wood, allso i cant sell crap wood and my chisel chain doesnt like it as well.


Makes sense. Most timber sales we work on only allow a 10-12" stump max (ie ground level since once the dead leaves blow away it's about that tall of a stump) so I guess that's why it struck me as odd. We use a feller bunches though so it's not overly fussy about what's in the wood aside from large pieces of steel or rocks.

Guess I should have worded my question better, was just curious, not in that anyway is better or not. I was guessing it was so the stumps could be pried out easier. I've seen some stumps make a 400 excavator struggle even!
 
nice work!
I'm stuck scrabbling up and down ridges and dragging timber out by hand,so I'm jealous!
