I wanted to embed these videos but was not sure how. So here are the links.

Felling a big cottonwood:

I set up a 4:1 MA using 300 ft of 1/2in Stable Braid. The double sheave pulley attached to 150 ft of 5/8ths Stable Braid. The 5/8ths redirected through a block placed at a height of 25ft and attached to sections of the trunk. We then used my F-350 to pull 10-20ft sections of trunk 50-70ft into a "nature preserve". By far the most tension I've ever placed on a rope. Unfortunately, there's no video of the pull. These photos explain more about the job though.

In the tornado video, did it take longer to notch and fell the stem than it did to piece apart the crown or is that just the video playing at different speeds?

The notch was shot at 1 frame/sec.
