Running guy appears to be holding the pull rope. He had one job to do. He should be fired.

So I've cut a lot of trees, but NEVER had the nads to cut a 60' loblolly pine in a residential neighborhood. I'm having trouble envisioning where they were going to try and drop that hing.

But hell yeah I'd be filming it too.

Looks perfect to me, got the tree down and didn't damage any of his neighbors' property.

Try dropping a 130' water tower in the middle of a city's downtown or in a neighborhood with a narrow window to lay it down, I've done that quite a few times, never failed to make my butthole pucker at the moment of truth.

That's a tight window, but it could be done if the tree actually fell in the direction he wanted. I've done it myself before even with one that was leaning noticeably the wrong way. Basically anchored a long rope tied about halfway up and then hung weights in the middle to keep it falling in the right direction.

The trailer on the left side of the end frames suggest this IS a professional, not the homeowner.
A ''professional".
In other words, "I know a guy".

Definitely not someone that looks like they have experience or certified in ISA Tree Worker Specialist, ASF, ASCA, TCIA, or ANSI Z133 training

The notch angle doesn't matter with that much mass and the small trunk diameter. Even professional loggers have trouble guessing on flat ground like that.

To minimize risk, you take it down in sections and use a come-a-long to pull in the direction of desired fall.

Looks like Houston, Tyler, or somewhere in Texas. Dumbass should've sectioned that thing.

this guy is clearly NOT a tree professional...

this is what happens when you pay the cheap guy with the chainsaw and a truck to take down your tree instead of the professional/qualified company (with insurance).

25% chance he is licensed, bonded, and insured. 100% chance he said he is licensed, bonded, and insured.

hate to admit it but that looks like something I would do, except that I would have "notched" the base and the tree would have landed on the neighbors house !!

I was right in choosing a professional to take my trees down.

So you attach the come-a-long with a strap of - how long? How high? And do you keep ratcheting until you hear cracking and run like hell or do you just put in a good solid side load and let it be?

I've used guide ropes but never cut anything NEARLY that big such that a come-a-long would be a needed option.
