Well that was a ton of typical AS CAD dreaming tease.....
What about the brush? Are you responsible for it or is it a non issue because you are no matter what ?
Somebody probably told him what kind of wood Sycamore is. Too bad. I have an enormous sycamore in my yard that's dying. I'm just going to take it all to the dump.
Forget him and the horse he rode in on. If you're going to cut the tree anyway I'd tell him he could come get the wood if he wanted it. That way you get rid of the tree.
Whether the guy does a trade or not, no way I would hl that much wood to the dump. My stove dont care what kind of wood the tree is as long as it will fit thru the door.

Since I would have to cut the tree down and cut to sizable pieces I can handle anyways, Its just one more step to feed it into the stove.
Looks like a fair offer to me for Sycamore, I don't like it, but I burn it, it's free.

When he said "Pick one" he really meant "I'll pick one." 
Sycamore has a poor rep for wood heating but it's good campfire fodder. Burns clean and doesn't leave a ton of ash behind.

WFO or I don't go
I have a wood stove so I think I will just keep it and burn it. That was the original plan anyway. Like @muddstopper said my stove doesn't care as long as it fits through the door. I just figured for a little work and some wood I could get a saw.

i agree
I rate Sycamore right up there with Popular, except for the ease of splitting. My splitter dont care what it is, big, little, crooked, twisted, it takes about the same time to split as it does good straight grained stuff. Stack Sycamore off the ground and in the dry, it will last for years, well maybe not at my place because it would be the first wood I burnt until it was all gone.
