I've been offered a dead 125' Sitka spruce tree in the middle of a friends pasture. I've dropped taller fir and cedar trees that were 4-5 ft at the base, but this beast is in the 8-10' diameter range.
I see this as rare opportunity to fall a tree of this base diameter and would like to put it on the ground, but at the same time I'm more than willing to walk away from the project.
My plan is to use my ported MS660 with a 36" bar and my Homelite 1130G with a 48" bar and a fleet of wedges to do the deed.
Any special tactics I should employ?
