First two pictures aren't actually the tree in question, but it was an identical one to the right of the one we pulled down with the tractor (that one had heavy back lean). The tree which is about as close to a stuntfell as I have got before, was the one in the bottom picture. I didn't think to get a pic until it was down. It looks piddly on the ground. The idea was to drop it onto the fire, sned it and remove the top and burn it, keeping the stem entire. I had the option of using 361 with a 20" bar but chose to use the 260 with a 15". I estimate diameter where I was cutting to have been 25-28". I prefer using smaller saws and trying to improve my accuracy. Anyways, dropped it down without a pull line, tip landed slap bang in middle of the fire. Happy days. Just to reitterate, the first two pics are of an identical tree that i took to give a sense of perspective.

That isn't the tree I was talking about yesterday. That was an ash, in the woods. The poplars were the day before.

Todays fun and games. The Monkey Puzzle was pollarded ? two years ago, leaving two live growth points. These has since died. Customer wanted it reducing by half. I managed to get to about 30' before i bottled it, even with the tree guide out it still had an alarming wobble/ lurch. So i felled it instead. The first 15' is solid, so i am going back with the logster chainsaw mill.

On one side was a new 20k conservatory, and the other was the owners office, so good potential for a big insurance claim.

A few pics of a poplar felling, had just 5 m of space on a bank of a small lake. Could not afford to drop it in the water
