A friend of mine asked it I could help him out by dropping a fairly large Ash tree at his dads farm...His dad is 90 and wanted to do it himself but just didn't have the saw to get it done...So I grabbed the 064 and met them at his farm...
The Ash's natural lean was straight towards a Black Locust that he didn't want removed, so we had to drop it about 60° to its natural lean...
The major issue was the top weight and one limb the was going to hang or break off as the tree went over...All went well and the hinge held long enough to get the problem limb past the Locust...(Still hit, but didn't hang...
Here are some of the pictures...
The tree..
Dropping the power lines......Friend is a electrician....
The face cut...Very open to get it to hold as long as possible...
The back cut...
The stump...You can see which way it wanted to go when it closed...
