Wife call me fri week ago at 730 in morning . Tree bout that size fell at end of driveway sometime after I left at 430. Got struck by lightning few years back . I knew it was bout time . It fell across county rd also. I call them to get road unblocked . They saw it up enough to get grader push it out of road .i cut up at least 6 Rick of wood out of it when I got home . Me an another guy had it loaded before dark on a 16’ trailer . I sawed up trunk into 6ft chunks. County was suppose to come pick it up but haven t seen them. It was over 5’ across butt . It was hollow an rotten in middle . I got 461 an had sharpen it twice From all the old nails in it . If county don t show up guess have take tractor an push into pile an burn. I enjoy running a sharp saw an have cut lot timber with one when I was younger but I’m not climbing a tree with one . Don t have proper tools for that . I respect people that do that .

Very impressive! I've got a red maple in the yard that I have gotta trim or it's gonna eventually fall on the house. My wife wants me to hire it out, but I am confident I can manage it. If I stop posting, y'all will know I was wrong.

Skip the bucket truck, go for the full crane!!

Theres a truck/machine that looks like a knuckleboom but the loader reaches 50-60ft i guess and has a sawhead on it. Itll reach out grab the limb, saw it, then place it in the dumpbed. Thats about the coolest thing ive seen pertaining to tree cutting. I watched a video of a guy that pulled up to a pretty good size oak and cut it and loaded it all with the same piece of equipment. Then drove away with it. That was pretty awesome

Get off your pocketbook and buy one,
