I'd come out and cut it, but I'm in Wisconsin, so the travel cost would probably blow the budget. I love road trips.
i was just kidding in my original post, i figured it was so dangerous that nobody would touch it.
it is out in the woods and i am going to let mother nature handle it.
isaac how would you go about taking this thing down.

Hire Witch Dr and have Rain Dance. Thunderstorm will do the job. If you must and your not up to it, hire it done. If it was mine I would put wire rope on it and drag it with tractor. I have one that is long enough.
put the cable on the standing tree an try to winch it over? would you make a cut in the tree.
call me a sissy but it scares me to even think about cutting this tree.

I would put the cable as high as possible on the intact stem and try and pull it down. The broken top should fall down and then it's not such a big deal.

I'd toss a rope over the butt end of the broken piece and pull it loose. Piece of cake. No sense messing with the pole until the top is down. Snags are only dangerous of you work dangerously.
A lot of folks just can't see how stuff works, so they don't understand how to decide what to do to handle it. I used to teach physics and I can look at something and see how it works and a good course of action to handle it.
10 different people will take it down ten different ways "by putting a rope on it".

I’d rip it out of the canopy with my tractor. Doesn’t look like a lot of mass for the weather to bring it down.
If it's beyond your skill set or you think it is, hire it done. Cheaper in the long run than getting hurt or killed.

I did a tree last year while on the scrounge. It was hung up on another tree. I pulled it down with the trac machine. Cut it up and will burn it in 2023
