Species specific technique right there. River birch being the optimal species, elm would be another good one, spruce maybe. But then again ye old bomb pad is real easy to make for non impact turf jobs. Or cut it low enough so the log comes in flat.
Then again the longer I’ve been in business...
I had a job where the tree must go this way. 110’ 50” DBH cottonweed slight back weight over the transmission lines for an industrial park. Big c-sucker of a tree slightly swampy ground so it was full of water. The city didn’t want to cut it, utilities said it was outside their ROW( doubtful)...
I am going out on a short limb and saying a 5/8” stable braid is strong enough to break the traction of any on road vehicle( four wheels) pulling on it from the dirt.
