    We took down an 80' red oak today at my parents. It was one of two that were very close to the house and were causing moss buildup on the roof. Was doing my best not to drop it on moms beautiful rhododendrons while also keeping it away from the house. Didn't hit the bushes or the house :thumbs::rofl: :lol:.

    Thanks pal. My undercut was a little off at first but I was able to correct it and send her where she needed to be.

    Thanks! The 394 loves to come out and play :thumbs:.

    Yes sir. We have had several on this clearing site like that. My wife has said that on a few videos. Homeowner asked me on a 30"+ oak that was leaning toward the house how we were getting it down...I told him a cable, a few wedges and lots of prayer...
