Yes, seen that.
Doesn’t look staged to me.
That would be a ballsy fell for anyone.

I thought they looked solid early when they knocked out a 'proper looking gob' (how'd I do Mick?!?!), but among other things, the backcut was way too high and worst of all, sloped.

Agreed.
Also to pull an immense tree like that with backlean needs more than just a tractor and bullrope, or if that’s all you got it needs a proper back cut, wedges and many years of experience.
