I made a notch on the top of the log close to the stump. Then I up cut from there (which was a *****). Then she rolled over and on the ground she went.

Grab with skidder and go.

I remove all limbs I can that are not under tension; a pole saw comes in handy for this. Then I re-evaluate, if I can cut more limbs, I do; if not, I strap it and pull it over with my truck. This tree would be almost completely limbed before I pulled it over.

All cleaned up.... Just have to level the stump. There was another tree growing on the right hand side but I dropped that one before I took the picture. That one was a good 40 feet taller. So this stump is a good 4 feet in diameter.

I have 2 huge Osage trees in my backyard plus 1 that was pushed over ages ago in the woods. All 3 are about 24-36" at the base. I get firewood off the dead one in the woods. It makes for a real nice overnight log. Other 2 produce real nice shade for the Georgia summers.

We have more Osage here in Central Ohio than people realize but they dont get that big.
