Sometimes I forget that not everyone has the big trees we get. They can be a pain to deal with. I don't see anything in the pics that would stress a 30M or 35M on a 2501.
Get three or so chokers (chain ones fit in the pockets in the 35M) so you can pull multiple logs at once. A self releasing snatch block is useful too. There's been discussion here that I found useful in selecting mine.
The trick for the leaner is pulling from high enough on the tree. I've done it with an arborist's throw weight and line and used that to pull up one end of the rope for a power puller (like a comealong but for rope and does not run out of travel). That's lighter than a choker and easier to get up into the tree.
