I'm the same way. Sometimes you just have to take one down though. We had a big silver maple out back like that.
It was too tall to prune since I don't climb. Rotted at the base. It didn't look bad, but was becoming a danger if it
fell. We got a decent amount of firewood out of it, and planted a new seedling in it's place. Someone will get to
enjoy it when we're long gone.

We've always got some seedlings going in pots to add to the property. Mostly maple, oak, and mulberry. That cottonwood will
burn, but it's not real high btu-wise.

I did what i thought was freebie a months ago for my MIL and FIL it was a monster i took the bucket up 65ft then climbed from there. So after it was all done and we were eating dinner my FIL went to the basement and came back with a shiny new 562xp and lets just say I felt like a 5 year old on Christmas Day.

Nice "gift". I don't know much about Huskies, but I think that's a helluva saw. Enjoy.
