Looks like ash

I might be game. I'm in north central MA so not a terrible drive to south shore.

What a majestic tree! You'll want to save it for sure.. Does there appear to be any limb dieback or is it mostly leaf litter?

@flymo Did you get the Dakine pack? If so, how do you like it?

what is a Dino bag?

Any chance to cut the roots and slowly lay it down that way?

Poplars are typical for being hollow. They also develop a canker disease that will rot the whole top off. Once you see the bark turn black, it’s done.

Man those things are fuzzy! I've never seen oaks sucker out like that but of course I am in the northeast, so Florida is a different environment. Does anyone think that a total tree prune is needed soon to keep structure?

Mushrooms = rot. Best case looks like only half the tree has dead cambium. What does the crown look like? I would seriously look at the risk this tree presents if it were to fail in that area and fall.

Black cherry is my guess. What does the canopy look like?

If I may... Offer tips and pointers as to WHY you are doing it that way and your thought process. There are already millions of videos of guys ripping a tree apart - boring. I like Blair Glenn's videos because I always learn something.

How’s it going to be different than everyone else’s?

Nice to have friends with heavy equipment! Made super short work of that tree

Poplar maybe

My Echo 330T leaks bar oil real bad. Not sure where it comes from but I store it on its bar side, caps up. I'll check to see if it's the breather or cap that's leaking..

Check your chain brake. I've accidentally hit it and same thing...
