How would you [safely] take down this tree?

Is the tree down yet?

Looks like another ideal job for the telehandler.

Yep, post#29 this thread: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums...-you-safely-take-post5734403.html#post5734403

It would have no problem with that little stick compared to this 42' tree:

I like the snatch block ideas.

Thinking outside the box, could you set fire to the hinge and get it to burn free? Like pack it with something flammable and sticky Like tar and set a torch burning just under it. Get everything around the hinge area nice and soaked before starting the fire. Set up a chair with a hose for any fire control and to keep the adjacent tree from going up. Might need to wedge something like a piece of plywood under the burn area to keep your accelerant from running down the tree.

That is the second suggestion for burning the tree in this thread. It has merit I think.

I found the page in chapter 3. Why take the time to set up explosives to drop trees when a chain saw would be faster? Did not look for a date of that publication. Prior to the invention of chain saw, possibly? Jon
