What if the line snaps and the tree fall backwards? Seems to be alot of stress on the line especially pulling with a bobcat.

Yeppers, I seen that happen once, they got real lucky tho, when the line snapped, the tree rocked back towards the house, the hinge wood held and it settled back into position. They retied, put a back up on (the "just in case" line). Then they got it over. I was pretty nervous for them! I garunteeee, that the Saw operator had too change his shorts! This was a BIG Silver Maple, about 5 ft from the back of the house.
Ever since I seen that, I, when pulling over sumtin big and scary, I always have the back up. Although, I dont see me using that detailed of a cut, it was a good drop, pretty accurate, next to that side walk!
Murph, you got little money wrapped up in those mats dont ya!! I used to have a few(stolen) Cost me about 225 a piece, u had more than a few, u around the same price?
