Pine is a brittle wood, Snaps easily.
Even chainsaw vibration can cause branches to fall.
Dead tops are what are called 'widow makers' and you just don't want to mess with such a tree.
Leave it to a pro.
Agreed. The trees just died recently and I was dropping them before the "widow maker" stage. The limb that broke off and almost got me was the result the pine brushing a live tree on it's way down. Don't know why the video I uploaded earlier in the thread doesn't work, maybe I'll try a different format.
