Sizwheel on side leaner

I's tough to tell from this video but this dead oak had a lot of side lean and was growing right over a smaller Norway maple. It looked like there was going to be a lot of brushing by the maple, but just by the branch tips. We had plenty of pull, using a high pull line and a skid steer loader. I cut the sizwheel, which I have found to be extremely effective in helping fight side lean. It worked really well here.

here's a reply to one of the below comments that may be helpful :

 @eastcoastlumberjack  there's nothing negative to apologize for.We are simply having a discussion about some very complex factors that few fully understand... The real key to understanding just how much hold against side lean a sizwheel adds is in examination of the serparated hinge fibers after the fall.. Expereince teaches that crumbly flat severed hinge fibers offer the least amount of hold. And conversely hinge fibers with long stringy whiskers are the ones that show the greatest holding ability. Since there is no way to perform any type of controlled scientific experiment on how hinges hold.. (at least it hasn't been done yet), examination of the hinge fibers after the fall in combination with personal experience in seeing how hinges hold based on size, lean, species and condition is the best way we can learn. You can glean a little more insight by combining those observations with video and in particular listening to the squak, moan and pulling sounds of the hinge bending a breaking throughout the fall, to see just how long during the fall the hinge actually held.

The deep fiber pulls on the tension side of hinges that result from sizwheels are plenty enough in and of themselves to show the superior ability to fight side lean. Combine that with the above explanation about fatter hinges allowing more force to be placed on the compensation pull and nothing is going to change my mind. I appreciate you sharing your level of experience, which is good to know, because there are a lot of idiots with keyboards in the world. But there's nothing you or anyone else can say to make me change my mind. And to be clear, l'll repeat myself... I don't try to swing the tree with the sizwheel. I ONLY WANT TO MAKE THE LAY WHICH IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE FRONT OF THE HINGE. If you want to swing the tree, you;re better off using a narrow humboldt. By the time a traditional or open face of 45 degrees or more closes, there's too much momentum to get much swing goiong.
