You used a term I’ve never heard before today. Barberchaired.
We had a maple get decimated by locust 8-10 years ago and I gave it every chance possible to pull out of it. It mostly came down today. I ran out of daylight so about 15-20 feet of trunk still stands. It would’ve all been down but I was cutting the last branch/top out of the tree and it leaned back on the saw instead of breaking the other way. I had to move my truck and climb a ladder to get a strap on the branch to put enough tension on it to free my new 362 then reposition the truck to put enough tension on it to finally free it from the trunk of the tree and not destroy anything valuable. My truck got a bit of damage earlier in the day from a chunk falling from 10 feet or so and hitting the bedside. Luckily for me I use my truck as a tool not a show piece.
