Need advice-hung up tree removal

[fishercat]

one addition to that recipe ........................

Sounds like a good plan. Please make sure to cut with a friend or family member. Two set of eyes are better than one. Good luck, let us know how it turns out. JJuday

If I were you,..............

I'd try to just pull it with the truck or a piece of equipment.

If that doesn't work,then I'd worry about getting a body near it with a saw.

If it was me,I'd get my climbing rope in the standing tree and hand just above the fallen tree and make my cuts.Not saying it's right,just saying that's what I'd do.

I think I was wrong once long ago.:hmm3grin2orange:

HEY! I think that I was the first advice to come along!!! (no , it's OK, it was RAMROD48, so no offense taken).

Funny! I hadn't thought of the offense my comment might make to the first advisor. Whups!

Buzzard

When someones personal knowledge is lacking, they gather information to help them make the decision. Here at Arboristsite, there are idiots like myself who only give silly answers, and there are divine immortals like Olddirty who have infinate knowledge of everything. The rest give advice according to their own personal knowledge, experience and training.

The OP is not so stupid as to take the first piece of advice that comes along - he listens to it all and decides what's best for himself to do, and he does it. Sheesh, some of you act like it's a felony to give advice unless it matches exactly with your own.

Old Dirty is the man, don't forget it. I have seen alot of his work. Good guy with a sense of humor too

Hard to forget it - he is willing to remind everyone of that opinion at a moments notice. Must be one of those people you've got to know to appreciate. If he is so good, why is he so unable to help? I've read too many posts where people need a little help, but are told to hire a pro! Sure, there are times when a pro may be needed, but I don't think that is the case with this.

a cell phone!

A cell phone dosen't always work, but my Dad does. I don't like to cut alone. You're just asking for it.

[fishercat]

I reaken so, But when I hear the word easy or just a few hour job...I know its a monster silver maple with no where to drop and 90-110 hrs.

 

[fishercat]

well,you're probably right.

My favorite is when the customer tells you over the phone how tall it is.They never seem to be close.

The easier it sound the slower I am to get there.....lol Amazing what you see when you get there..My last est. was a blue spruce about 60ft tall and a wing span at the bottom was about 60ft....If there was anywhere to drop it, would have been 3 hours just to clear it for felling, but there wasnt even a 2 ft drop zone. I am not a climber but I know it just going to suck for who ever gets that one. (I know its not going to be me)
