GolfandWoodNut said:That looks a little scary zap. Can't you take your winch and pull it sideways? It looks like it would fall the right way if you cut the maple, but being that close to that much weight scares me. I have used a come-along on some like that. Now I have the Bobcat and I could just give it a push. Another option is cutting the big boy a couple of times from the bottom. Sometimes that is enough to get it moving. I assume you have tried the winch already since you have done that before.

wood spliter said:That even sounds safer Zap!
Beetle-Kill said:Good call Zap. Even better would be a tree saver+20' chain+ Rhino, and drive off in the opposite direction. Yank out the bottom a few feet, and it should go. Stay safe with that one.

We will find out Wednesday, I might take the old green truck then I might pull it home.

I like that style. I have pulled some pretty big trunks for milling.
