TylerTx, arborist Help!

[Disabled Vet.]

Disabled Veteran, I am currently armed with 450e Husqvarna. However I lack equipment to deal with my Widow maker in backyard. It is a black walnut that is wind blown into a white Oak see pic. Is there a local arborist in my Area willing to assist with the removal of this tree, I don't have the money to pay a tree service my bid quote 1,300.00 usd honestly I am on a fixed income and cannot afford this type of expense.

If you can deal with it once it is down, you might see if a company will just put it on the ground for you. A lot of the cost is in cleanup...

Well that is the issue everyone is out to earn that mighty dollar, I have asked most people with a tractor wants 200.0 just to pull it down. That is why America has become the way it is.

Do you own a good rope and come-a-long or rope-a-long?

Yeah, I tried that already, with 690 lbs, working load doubled, come-a-long snapped the rope shackles stop by the tree trunk I was anchored on. Good thing I stood behind the tree in case that happened, which it did lucky me!! Right.

Is it all on your property? Are there any power/utility lines near it?
Looks like a wooded area, if I were in your position, I'd leave it alone, keep clear, and let nature do it's thing - as long as it doesn't pose an immediate danger.
I'd say it will come down on it's own eventually.

I would not expect a professional operation to do this potentially dangerous job for free. I assume there is no friend who can help. You could post a beg for money on gofundme.com

Yes, at residential property it is next to my workshop I don't want it to roll and crush it.

I have more pride than that, I would rather ask on sites like this to potentially find someone willing to assist, My family and i have only been at this location for 3 yrs we have a few acquaintances not friends, and Family is even farther away.

Also I didn't say free i just said willing to assist with small compensation for their time i just can't afford 1300.00 I could do like 250.00 but not 1300.00. I can deal with clean up I have 4 acres to burn it all on.

I'm no expert, but looks to me like that tree will be hanging a long time. Move that shed if you're worried about it.

Sorry, just trying to offer helpful suggestions.
Bottom line is, if I were in your predicament, I'd move all my **** worth keeping out of that shed and forget about it...
