How would you drop this? What saw?

[Red97]

So I have this big fella, I believe it is oak. split in thirds. About 24" still holding 40" thick, close to 70ft tall. What is the safest way to drop it? To keep it chainsaw related what saw would you use?



I am trying to get the wood before it gets snowed in.

Aerial lift and cut it up in lots of pieces.

Don't know the safest way to drop it. If I had to cut it with the saws that I own I'd grab my 044 and the 357xp.

That bad huh?

i would tackle that with a undercut and secure the top with a rope to a tractor
use the super xl 925 to drop it.

He meant without getting killed! I think?

That's the problem I have. It wont take much to get it to drop. But when where why?

I'd take my Stihl HT-131 pole trimmer to it.

It has like a 300' reach.

Hey now listen that tree potentially dangerous. Op be careful.

I can't see the tree well enough to get an idea what's actually involved.

I'm not seeing the problem.... Cut up all the wood laying around it so you aren't tripping over anything. Notch it and cut it down. I think it's obvious which way it's leaning. Is the trunk split or it was a triple tree?

It split in half .

Ok then lol!! Cat D8 if that don't work cut the one up that is already down and pile it around the other and set it on fire. If that don't do it take 300 lbs of ammonite/3 gal diesel fuel.

That is a much safer alternative.

Looks like a fun one! Assuming you can drop it out into the field proper, I'm not seeing the problem.

For that drop, 7900/28".

You dont see an issue with a tree that split?

It was 1 tree it split in 3 pieces. about 18ft up where the branches start it is almost 40" diameter. down at cut level it is less than 20" thick and at least 40" across. I am praying for a wind storm.

It makes me uneasy cutting the dropped stuff because the standing part makes lots on noise.
