Too Sketchy to Drop?

[Turbo89]

Can you use a come-along/winch to pull it over?

Welp, I finally dropped the other trunk. Or partially dropped. Now I have like 2,000 lbs of tree hung up at a 65 degree angle. I am good with wood for this year so hopefully the winter will drop this mess when things freeze and get brittle. Otherwise, I am kinda at a loss. I feel like bucking from the bottom with upward cuts on the trunk is 100% a deathwish and I don't have anything big and heavy enough to attach to the bottom and drag it out/down. Add a large and brittle canopy and I now have about as much of a "nope" situation as one could imagine.

Yes it's quite a mess. Better to wait for cooler bug free weather and bring it all down. Other option would be to get a truck near it and try and pull it from the top sideways.

What ever you do clear out all that brush mess around the base before you do anything. You need clear escape paths in all directions.
