I know this probably isn't the best spot to post this but I know many people visit the firewood section. My Dad wants this tree taken down, it is a large oak with a bad lean. The tree is roughly 36" across and is positioned on a hill. I told him that it is going to barber chair terribly so he thinks the large chain around it will keep it from splitting. Note: I WILL NOT CUT IT WITH THE CHAIN ON IT as if the chain breaks so will I. What are peoples thoughts and ideas on getting this tree on the ground safely? I recommended topping it out first to remove some weight, I know it will not fix the problem but it has to help. Not in the pic, on the down hill side of the tree the base is hollow so I'm not sure if the bottom of the tree where I would be cutting is hollow also. I am sure if I try to cut a section out on the front it's going to pinch the bar (Not worried about trying to fall it in any direction but just to help with less meat to hold on)
I have a MS460 with a 32" bar to work with.
Ok lets have it.
