    Best thing I ever ran into for sure!

    To continue on to the reminiscing....before and after....first tree we lost and we got lucky, fell away from the barn,but damaged our new deer fence....luckily only got the cross pieces and not any uprights


    same area, we waited a few years and that stump would not rot out...sowe had my brother-in-law build a faux water well to cover the stump

    I hear you.

    But it isn't just the height you have to be concerned about. As I'm sure @otherhalftw well knows, when you're topping a tree like that, it's critical that you notch it in such a way where it will fall AWAY from you, because when you're strapped to the tree it isn't like you can run.

    I personally would prefer it fall to the side to eliminate the "barber chair" threat.

    Only got "punched" twice. First was entirely my fault, should have taken 3 or 4 more ft of top limbs out before topping...didn't see a rock that grew with the tree, took out my chain and the butt twisted right into my shoulder. Second, tree had some rot damage on the opposing side that made it so it had no holding wood again it spun and got me directly in chest....took a bit to get down from that one!
