What do you's experienced tree fellers reckon then - a leaner? with too high a back cut?

 

or was it always gonna snap, without the use of a bore cut?

Nope. He should have carried on cutting. It split because he stopped IMO. I didn't think there was a massive ammount of lean on it. Maybe the video is misleading.

Ha here's one I had the other day cmon barbie let's go party! .... Tree was almost dead straight but ash love to barbers chair and more importantly I was not in the mood as it was end of the day so stopped cutting as soon as it was moving walked out the zone to hear some fairly unusual noises then this !

But had spent the morning by a rail way line felling beech that were so dead they were breaking up on the fall putting widow makers in the cutting zone!
