Thanks Good picture explanation. Will try that !! I do similar but my wedge has taken a beating, For the most part , that's due to "my learning curve " I think I'm taking the notch in to far
If your face and bore cuts get the hinge set up you can safely cut away the rest of the back with the wedges already in place. Then just tip it over. If it has too much lean to wedge over I will find another direction to drop it. I don't want to deal with exotic methods.
If one has a lean close to the right direction, I've swung them in the right direction with various mods to the wedge, hinge & back cuts. Gonna try pulling a couple wrong leaners, taking a 2x2 & 3/8 nylon rope to choke the tree 12' up or so. If I can get in the road. Hoping the sun has melted the snow of the road.
