Any place to lay it down, leaving high stump? High stump giving less area needed for fall(but lowers leverage), high line placed from ground giving high leverage to muscle hinge (wide face, no dutch) over to proper direction and slower fall. Higher stump can then give more punch into ground by head if muscling over though...
Sometimes, a speedline can go from high anchor behind tree to anchor in front of tree. Can get more clearance of obstacles underneath with more balanced load at hitch point. Can use control line as Mark shows, with a more balanced load can give even more clearance. But can also can use a pull line (throw lined in towards light end from ground) working against the control line (butt hitched for this purpose); to give lots of clearance. But, control lines can slow the speed of throw across, which can give more dip of speed line and more of a straight hang for less clearance than a fast moving throw across speedline.
A load transfer line to me is a secondary line off another high anchor, but too far away to give good overhead support. So (primary) overhead support line lowers to tightened load transfer line, that serves load away. So, like speedline can give lowering, travel across ground, obstacle clearance and less raking; all in 1 move.
