How to take this tree down?

That's of course the reason why you have 3 saw's. If you ever get your saw stuck flush cutting a stump that's where your tree wedge comes in handy. Tap it in and keep on going. If you don't have a simple plastic wedge then step one use your wedge from the tree you cut out to drop it, step two go buy one and throw it in your saw bag , saw case or cooler of whatever preferred frosty beverage you prefer. Just put it in whatever you know you will have with ya whenever you want two stroke therapy. For some reason I was thinking the dead oak was supporting it. Now I see what I thought was the leaning tree's leaves is actually to the smaller tree that caught it. rope the leaner and the dead oak together throw a weight up through the top and let it fees back down. Take weight off tie your pulling rope to the weight line and pull it back through the tree to ya. Untie the two ropes, tie a lope in your pulling rope so you can pull it back through the other way again and let it cinch itself tight around your trees and use your pulley to The oak will have plenty of mass use a pulley and put your pressure on them pulling them off to the right. You can do this from behind the trees even and be completely out of any possible drop zone. Cut the oak let it take the leaner with it. If your in Winston your not but prob 45 mins from me. If you want let me know a day in the evening and I will come up and actually put eyes on it. So hard to tell without seeing it in person. Pictures hide all kinds of things and you have depth perception. But I would be more than glad to see if not is practical and safe. A tree company will be upwards of 1-2 K atleast and that is exactly what they will do unless it is reachable by bucket. I wouldn't climb anything that has that much rot. You could rent a boxer and a stump grinder for prob 1/4 of what a service will be.

50lbs of tannerite will send it back in the other direction. But use 75lbs just to make sure.

Eh, minor collateral damage... :sniper: :huggy:
 
I had a tree like that I cut down the other day in my back yard. I wasn't about to get up close to it with the chainsaw, so I took my little 15' long electric pole chainsaw and stood way the fuck back and cut that shit. It kicked out but I was 15' away. Then I just chopped little sections off until it fell out of the tree it was stuck on. I was far away so didn't even get close to me.

Of course, it was leaning away from the shop so I didn't run the risk of it falling on anything, but could have easily tied it off and pulled it either direction if I wanted to.

I'm also stupid and do dumb shit though.
 
Without physically seeing the tree, I am not going to give any advice on how to cut it. I can say from recent experience that you need to have any dead trees taken down as soon as possible, as your insurance company will not pay a nickel for any damage a dead tree does to your property or your neighbor's.

Thanks, I did not know that.
 
The insurance definitely will not pay if cousfrienbruncle drops it when the wind stirs unexpectedly and drops it the way you don't want it to go.
