I don't let people video me while working, all tree video's that wind up on youtube have bad endings, especially ones like that. What's the heavy equipment? One farm I cut on I have a 20,000 pound tractor I can use. I might run a 17,000 pound test bull line through a snatch block and tie it around the fat part of the split, and pull from 150' away and just rip the rest of the tree in half. On the other farms where I don't have bigger stuff to work with I don't know what I'd do? Good luck and be careful, Joe.

That's why I always hand them my phone to video it, and get it back from them right away so I can delete if there is anything foolish, stupid, embarassing, etc. I sure delete a lot of videos!!

Here's a successful one. Sorry to hijack the thread!
