As is, grab ahold of the trunk and don’t let go, I’m sure.

New dcs-2500t for removing the upper, dead half of a leader next to the community park swings.
$300 Echo was nice for some quiet residential work. Sapwood rot. Easy hand pull against the lean. Double- hinge. Pulled some fiber.

Is that the 'Echo eFORCE 56V 18"'?

It was a saw, 5aH battery, charger and 2.5 aH battery (fits both saws) for $300.
Dcs-5000.
I wanted a battery saw for around the house and noise sensitive sites.
Hope the kids will use it for starting to cut firewood. They could carve with it.
My daughter and I used my gta 26 for cutting a fairy house streambed when she was 9.

Powerbuild 3000 has it on eBay for $250 shipped with battery and charger.
That's about a third the price of the Husky package, I'd be curious how the two compare. I still like the Echo battery climber, but it took a somewhat expensive 1/4" conversion to really enjoy it, and it only sorta feels like a pro quality tool, where as the (again much more expensive) Husky climber feels like a solid pro quality tool and has been preforming that way for me for a few years now.
I already bought the cheap Milwaukee battery saw on a whim and never use it (it is just a backup that lives in my chip truck) so I'm going to refrain from buying another saw I probably won't use, even if it's cheap
Edit: maybe

Crazy leaning 90' pine today, hanging towards buildings. Using a combo of a rope puller, high block in a neighboring fir as a swing-line, and a sizwheel on the stump we were able to get it like 75* away from its heavy lean. Lots of pre-tension, bore-cut, cut the trigger and let the swing-line go at just the right time. Ignore the stuck throwball in the tree, haha.

I wouldn't like to be under that load!
I don’t think that stick is coming in over 2k. A properly rigged static pick in a propery spec’d rig gives me little pause. I substantially smaller piece being negative righed (rigged to disadvantage) can introduce peak forces greater than the loft in that photo.
I can go as far as saying that before the crane came into my quiver, that sort of thing was pretty SOP. I prolly would have doubled whipped that one with a block on the pick and terminated near the top block.

I'm Not calling a foul. 
A redirection to a remote trunk for the GRCS would make me feel better.
A power drill and consistently watching upward would be another mitigation. I'm pretty quick, still.

Heard that. It’s what prompted my previous comment about the drill and adapter. That tool is a game changer.I'm Not calling a foul.
