If you cut trees you deal with lean on every tree. Hardly ever do you have a perfectly balanced tree, and if you do, you are going to have to wedge it over or let the wind push it for you. In this video we cover the numbers that you need to do your figuring. Don't push the limits for two reasons. Wedging a tree near the limit of back lean is difficult and tiring; definitely not enjoyable. Push near the limit and you will have hinge failures. That may not be a problem out in the woods, but it can be disastrous next to valuable improvements. Internalize these numbers and you will be able to figure your side lean limits for safety purposes. That is where I use this method the most. Pick a spot to drop most of your trees where you don't have to fight any side lean and life is easier. The math for this method is so easy you won't even need a pencil, so be sure to include it in every tree falling plan.
