No trimming just felling... trim after they are on the ground and yes it is very dangerous work and not taken lightly by us. Felling dead trees is the most dangerous of all look at my serious face in my avatar lol.

I’ve got several dead ones I need to get down this fall... think I’ll use a cable and tractor to help them in the right direction ... but it makes me nervous all the same

I like to smack them with the bucket to break off any loose branches then get Ricky to sound the tree with his hammer to see if it is hollow. He was a phone guy that is trained in sounding poles. If they are big enough for felling wedges that helps a lot.
