1. A system for assisting during execution of a sequence of cuttings in a tree, wherein, during the cutting sequence, a first cut in the tree is followed by a second cut in the tree, wherein at least a part of an ideal course of the second cut depends on at least a part of a course of the first cut, the system comprising:
an identification device configured to identify at least the part of the course of the first cut in the tree;
a precalculation device programmed to perform the function of:
precalculating at least the part of the ideal course of the second cut in the tree based on the identified part of the course of the first cut; and
an output device configured to output cutting information for executing the second cut based on the precalculated part of the ideal course of the second cut.
