That should be a no-questions-asked warranty replacement. Should.

Or you could just do a hand analysis and get the same result with less work. :dunno:

Engineer here that has analyzed tension and shear critical bolts in detail. You're good.

I would bet money you work at Gulfstream. I'm sorry I missed this completely while I was there. I worked on the G500/600 stress team.

Good to see another MS260 Pro! I have that saw sitting in pieces on my workbench right now getting cleaned up and waiting on a carb rebuild kit. As for the OP, I'd recommend the electric chainsaw route, if you have any experience with a chainsaw. Hard to tell how big the trunk is at the ground...
