The trunk of this Pignut is rotted through, not much appears to be holding it on the stump. I'm wondering how you guys would safely handle this a) if you had any equipment you wanted at your disposal and b) if you had what I have to use which is a Ford 8N tractor, fairly long chain, come-along winch. I thought maybe hook the chain around the trunk and pull it off the stump with the tractor, but what if the trunk rides the stump, and shoots out toward the tractor?!! :grrr:
As you can see, the tree is "crotched," so I guess that'll keep it coming straight down the trunk of the tree it's hung up in.
There is a tree to hook something to maybe 100' from the stump...
