We were felling dead ash yesterday and I got one hung up. It is about 16-17dbh, straight and at a 45 degree angle now. The top is stuck in a big Maple. The ash is about 5-6" at that spot 80 feet up the tree.
We spent at about 2 hours with a 2 ton come along dragging the heel back and forth 30'. Lifted the heel right off the ground and jumped on the chain. Hooked up a tractor and jerked on it.
It's still there. I am thinking about bringing a 12 gauge slug gun and showing that tree who's boss.
Or is there a better way?(7mm Mag?)
P.S. We don't want to fell the Maple. No pictures of it right now. Soft ground too.
