That's called a Mortise & Tenon felling cut..

The tree gets 'locked' into the stump due to the wedge shaped piece below the hinge line.

You can just see the fibres of the hinge at the top of picture 2 after it has snapped and sat into the stump.

 

Cut at chest height, this tree now forms a very secure bench on which to fell a rack or line of forestry trees.

 

Never seen it used like that. I've seen them used but never with such a big tenon for side leaners. Another useful cut to have in the bag of tricks.
