Most of what I normally for people cut is on the ground. As you can see this is not. I do some felling too but I have never had a tree hung up like this to remove. Looks a little tricky. I'm open to suggestions. I did not take this down, it fell over in a storm.
Here is the tree from a distance of about 40 ft.
The butt is actually resting on a pile of wood from a previous take down. It is perhaps 30" at the very bottom. A tree service had done that takedown, the next day, this tree came down in high winds.
Here is a view standing on top of the base of trunk looking up the tree. The tree has two main forks. The right fork is resting in the crotch of a pine tree as you can see. The crotch it is resting in is perhaps 13-14 ft off the ground. The left fork is not hung up. You can walk up the trunk to where the tree is hung up, but it is kinda steep. It perhaps starts as a 20 degree incline, but the right fork is less than that, maybe 12-15 degree incline. I was able to walk up to where tree was hung up
Here is another view of the two forks from standing under base of tree and looking up.
Here is another view from the backside looking up at two forks.
The timeframe is open so I don't have to do this tomorrow or anything. I'd like to be able to get it because I can get the wood from the first takedown too which together would be over 2 cords of oak.
I have ideas about how to do this but am not sure.
I'm open to suggestions from my AS brethren :greenchainsaw:
