One is the dead pine, two is the cherry that needs to come down. The transformer is out to the left so my plan is to winch these back towards the woods, looks like we will use the tuf tug cable hoist puller on the dead pine and at the same time have a tree saver around the cherry attached to the winch on the rhino pulling it into the woods.


Any thoughts.

I can't tell the angle from the picture ZAP. I have taken down many leaners. The woods I work in makes a lot of leaners. Some I take down the leaner first, and carefully. Sometimes I can cut the tree that the leaner is leaning on and get them both to fall right where I want them. But I can not give advice to you by the pictures. I can not tell the angle with the trees and the transformer. Be careful. That pine could become a widow maker if the top breaks off. Stay clear my friend.

The pine would come down first, I'm just not sure if the pine is supporting the cherry, that is why we would have cables on both. I will take a better look at it in the morning but it will have to come down.


Even if the pine is supporting the cherry we can pull it far enough in to the woods and far enough away from my escape route I will be fine.

Not cutting, just taking a good look at it again, seems everytime you look at it you see something different. I wish I was on vacation.

I hear you on that. We had a realy nasty leaner out at dad's that was threatening his garage. We stared at it from every angle for about two hours...ended up doing a lot of winching but finally got it. You never can be too careful and they can be really deceiving sometimes.

" we would have cables on both. "
Sound like a good plan.
Make it a teaching video

You'll get those down okay zap.

Just need it to miss me and the transformer in that order. Here is my plan on winching the cherry, the pine I'll look over Monday morning. The treesaver will be lower on the base when we actually do this.

Should be done on Thursday or Friday morning Eco, that area will become a new holding (stacking) area for hopefully about 4-5 cord. Wood I can either sell or burn, still have that big clump of cherry just north of this area that needs some Stihl action.


It's going to be a tricky cut, the cherry was blown over with about two or three of the cherry hung up, still have alot of cleanup to do on the forest floor before I can get going. Looks like we should get a good cord out of it.

Nice to have that space to Put all that wood. My neighbors will be having four good size oaks taken down and there goingto stack the logs in my yard. On a have ti make some room. But I'm considering saving some for some milling. So a excuse to get that. We saw may be in order soon.

The oak will be nice for milling. I'm still looking for a good Cherry tree I can mill, they all seem to be honeycombed inside or to small.
