The only problem with topping, and or taking big limbs in one shot, is there is no control, you are not tied off independently, the reaction of the severed top, limb, (I'm aware the old timers did it during timber harvests but those don't have spread canopies, just a main trunk and limbs) or trees with a spread canopy, is so unpredictable, you put yourself at serious risk of injury, death, paralysis, and whatever else. I've misjudged the lean on occasion but on the ground with a clear path out, sure it pinched the bar, have to put a line on it, take off the power head, pull it over to get the bar back or whatever, but doing that while up onto the tree..... no way. This can't be real, if it is, I don't even know what to say to that, better him than me.
Its hard to even believe this fool is actually attempting this, the wind, the top itself, could go in any direction, and he's on a ladder, nothing to tie off too, well only the trunk.
There was one on liveleak, someone sent my another video, and while looking for the one he sent, I found one where a guy climbed up a tree, with a good sized canopy, put his one leg in a crotch, cut a large limb and it came down like a guillotine, snapped his leg just about in 2, it was a flapper, he had to drop his nice stihl saw to the ground, then be rescued, lucky he did not fall and the end of the video shows him post surgery before the cast, it looked like a shark bit into his calf, the nurse was removing a dressing at that point, not sure what was next, given the 2 full length incision, maybe they had to use something else so they could monitor it for infection, its so offensive, I would not post a link to it here. I think its wise to either get the right equipment, hire someone who has the equipment or just leave it be until such time it can be safely dealt with.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
