I dropped a 40" oak this morning. This was the largest tree I've ever fell. It went pretty smooth. It was leaning away from other trees and a fence. Sorry to see such a big tree go, but the guy wanted it gone out of his lot. I need firewood and have saws. I used my 7900 with a 28" winsor speed tip. It took a little while. My notch was nice and clean. However, my back cut was a bit too high. I got close to the hinge and it wasn't wanting to go. I used my wedges and hammer and it went. I sure got the hell out of there when it was creakin.
