There are a lot of variables to consider. Is the tree rotted in the center which can cause it to fall another direction. Is it leaning the way you want it to go? Are there more branches on one side than the other. Wind direction..Not trying to scare you. Just giving you food for thought. If you use something to pull it with then don't be in the drop zone. Often we will anchor the rope in the direction we want it to fall then go through a pulley or clevis and pull from another angle..

Right-on, pulling through block(pulley) reduces cable stress by 1/2 doubles pull, plus cable break/flys-wipps back to block-NOT YOU. As puller stay clear(winch remote) of pull source if possible& out of pull triangle(if block iitself breaks loose) Be carefull!
