Felling rotten trees

sorry, no pics, well dead and no canopy, just a few thin brittle branches, 12" DBH and about 12' high. thicker hinge next time[emoji37]
The shorter the tree/pole the harder they are to get the hinge to operate normally. Definitely a hard, fast constant pull through and beyond vertical is required. A fat hinge is too slow, but gives holding if your pull rope isn't already taking maximum tension. A winch in this situation is too slow in my opinion.
