Felled it pretty much as you suggested. Wire was attached slightly above the lower branches when it was so loud we came withe a ladder.
Was one who wanted slabs of the log to make small tables so I borrowed a Sthil MS 880 chainsaw. Decent saw but I take husqarna verson any day.
I have a Husqvarna motorcycle but I've never run their saws because of Stihls dealer support and parts. If their saws are as well engineered as their motorcycles, then they should be super desirable. That said, I don't know anybody with an $1100 saw that big.
