Until it doesn't. A 1800lb Flather metal lathe and a maple tree comes to mind.
The load "ripped" about an 8" branch out of the tree at the juncture to the trunk. It all came crashing down just outside of the swing of my truck tailgate, and fortunately didn't hit the truck. The lathe legs were 4" into the ground.
Fortunately nothing broken...
Even getting hit by a branch of that limb might be a problem.
The nice thing about age, time and experience is you can afford yourself the proper tools. And have the means to afford it.
Lets not talk about motivation...
