Felling heavily leaning trees over water.

TREEMEN IN A BOAT to put gob in or buy mate a pair of wadders to fit him only.

Sorry, I may be missing something here, but why can you not access to put a gob in? Are they away from the pond edge?

 

The trees are growing on the edge of a steeply sloping margin.

Stolen for our american pals

 

Cheers BUT cant get a face cut/gob in

Look into the "coos bay" cut. It's not directional but may be perfect for the job.

Probably best to ignore this as I don't fell trees, but can you not climb up the tree, lower yourself on your climbing gear level with felling height and put a gob in with a pole saw?

Presume its the 2nd one I would do with a plunge if I am understanding correctly? Would you need to strap round to prevent barbers chairing?

Or this? (Although not sure if I could get front cuts in on some?)

Not a climber and dont have access to one as this is a voluntary job.

Yes second one as you have mentioned that putting a face cut is not possible, you cut in from both sides leaving a strip of holding wood then you cut from the back of the tree the remaining strip of holding wood, you need to cut fast and you will need to be careful, it's also a good cut to use on very heavy lateral branches but again great care must be taken.
