New guy here... plenty of pics I will share. I'm a bit of a picture nazi.
a couple trees i took down on my "new" property this spring.
A pin oak outside of my back garage. was busting up the concrete in the garage and sick of the mess everywhere from it. i also wanted to put in a drive beside it for my trailer parking spot.
once it was on the ground, i found it had quite a bit of stump rot. I thought it was a healthy tree... all the southern half of the stump was gone, down the root canals and all.
Short video of it coming down. used a Stihl ported (modified) MS660 with a 28" bar. tree was about 32" at the stump. i cut the garage side first. click on the pic to start video

a half dead maple out in front of my house. All the alive weight was over the house..
another short video, click on pic to play video. I made the notch and started the back cut, then wedged it heavily on the house (weight) side. I used a Dolmar 7900 with a 25" bar. tree was about 29" right above the stump.
