I've cut down a few good sized trees in my day and been party to cutting down some really big ones....that....was incredible....

It was a nice straight pine with no tricky side branches but still....wedges and all a very impressive drop....

Meh, I am not even a pro but I am pretty sure I could drop an easy straight tree like that.

I cut trees down just for fun though, I enjoy cutting the really big old ones. I don't even use the firewood, I just like to hear them come crashing down.

LOL.  Anyone can drop a tree.  Can you drop an 18" tree through a 30" gap 20 feet from the trunk?



Not likely.  Even the pro that nailed this tree felling was thrilled at how well he'd done.

What did it miss that shed roof by? 2 - 3 inches?

I had two about that size cut off the front porch of a cabin which was built around the trunks. Wife left because she couldn't watch. The guy put tires on the deck where the butt end would bounce.  He only charged me a hundred bucks.  His wedges were long but not as wide as in the video.

Good thing for me is one was rotting in the center and nobody knew it.
