Those first few were out of level too. I'm so used to a 460 with a 24"-28" bar being automatically level that a saw with a nose heavy bar that I have to level out on my own is a real mind f*&k for me.

And as much as a love the praise for the cut, I have to confess that it isnt so perfect if you look closely. Most of these trees were done with a 36" bar. Being an east coast guy, I do great with bars up to about 28" and use those on a regular basis. 36" is fairly rare for me to use unless its a...

I wish I had pics of the other tree service that was helping us out on this job. They had a Boxer that they had fabricated a Porta Wrap onto. They used it for attaching pull lines to and tensioning the lines when pulling in tight quarters. I'm usually leary of using machines to pull over trees...
