Made a new trail to get to this hung up Cherry, used the warn winch to bring it down. It peeled it off the bark and then came down.
I had to make 1 cut before hooking the winch on. The one cut I made allowed the cherry to swing back against the tree when it did not come down thats when I hooked the winch to it.

Nice! And done safely too! Only thing I would suggest is to get a short length of chain, eye to eye wire rope, sling, even a logging choker to wrap the tree with rather than choking your winch line around it. At least that's what it look like you did. If I saw it wrong, my apologies. I work in a theater, so I am fortunate to have nearly unlimited access to wire rope so I always have short lengths handy. When they get all crimped and bent up, I throw them away and make new ones. You wouldn't want to have to replace the winch line.

My wife was there but I had her keep a eye on the cherry, plus I was inside the Rhino and needed both hands, 1 to operate the winch and the other on the wheel.

Gotcha. I love the winch. Reduces the number of roads in the woods and you never have to leave them when skidding logs.
 
Did I read that correctly - Worn Wench 1 Hung Low Cherry O. Thats just wrong on so many levels.
