I saw a vid on here earlier today where someone was felling a cottonwood and his notch was above the fence. It made me wonder, where do you put your notch?
... 2 firewood lengths up, for a nice comfy felling height. Your back will thank you.
Rarely as low as possible, due to ... better felling ergonomics.
Where ever the situation dictates

I get that every tree is different and you often have to accomodate for the finer intricacies that each tree offer, but if we're talking a standard healthy-ish tree standing upright that is in someone's yard and is going to be cut down to ground level, why would you cut higher? I am of the opinion that you're gonna have to crouch down to make that ground level cut anyway. Might as well do it right off the bat.
What is the advantage to doing the felling cut a couple feet up, then finishing up from there?
