Yup, mechanise as much as possible in my book. Very hard to read tension and careful gentle test cuts are a must.

Windblown is where experiance really comes in to its own, you have to know what that timber is going to do when you sever it, i have seen 1 or 2 lads over the years have some very close shaves, one i do remember was 3 large spruce edge trees on one massive root plate all 3 stems after being cut ended up about 12 ft above the cutters head, and when that last stem was severed that root plate all of about 15 tonne of it  went down with a bang, not for the faint hearted at all,
