No photos or it didn't happen.I did a nasty poplar a few weeks ago that was 30" at the base and I cut it down in about 12 sections. It was hung up bad and I just worked it down a bit at a time. Gradually move the weight down. No commotion, no drama, no heavy equipment needed. There were two original model T bodies under that tree and I put the last section down on one nice and gentle with a series of relief cuts. Didn't even crack the glass, everyone went home alive
WOW A grand a tree!!! I just had 3 dead elms by fence and garage/house (lots of branches) and each tree was about 30"across at the stump. They used a high-lo and had to rope drop one trees branches, cut ,ground branches and hauled all wood away and cleaned up all for a grand.
I told ya so.
cutting chunks out from the bottom really is the safest way to control the weight
Plus, that thing was tiny! I did a nasty poplar a few weeks ago that was 30" at the base and I cut it down in about 12 sections. It was hung up bad and I just worked it down a bit at a time.

I have no input regarding whether or not you should have done it yourself. You did however save yourself at least $1000, you should celebrate and go buy yourself a new saw .
