How would "YOU" fall this busted up tree ?

tnt. a couple sticks near the stump and boom.
Problem gone

Sure you could drag out a tractor and pull the thing but what kind of fun would that be.

I always wanted to try C4 forestry. But don't have the skills, knowledge, or the license. Looks like it could be an interesting way to 'remediate' hazard trees.

We could sell tickets to our tree shows and make some serious coin

Men, tnt, stumps. Stump Busters.
Coming to a station near you, but hopefully not to close.

I'd call my wife's brother. Tell him I'll give him a case of beer if he can get it on the ground. Win/win. Cause if he gets it down, I know he is gonna share the beer with me and I get the wood. If he can't get it down, I still have the beer & I call her other brother and offer the same deal. I ain't no dummy!

Thats what I was going to say, 2" x8" stick of power ditch and let her rip, or if you really want to have fun, dig a nice hole under the stump, stuff a 2x8 in the bottom of the hole, add 5lbs of ANFO, then fill the hole with gravel. Blamo!!!! Flying stump and felled tree. Hehehehhe

This post got me thinking.

Screw it, just let it sit there and rot. It'll fall eventually. In the meantime, we got beer to drink!

Brian, depending upon how high that fracture is above the stump, you could just undercut it halfway thru as high as you dare, then drop another tree right on top of it, making sure you have a good escape route.
Go get it! Take vids too.

Video will be boring John ,because i will make it look to easy when i get time ,i will just fall it opposite the lean ,and winch it over from the road ,easy peasy and stuff . There is another just like it to the right of it about 30 feet ,but lower on the break also ,alder does not make much good of anything for me ,firewood or lumber ,so if i get bored someday will take them down .It is more fun to keep this thread going anyways

 

[lknchoppers]

I would wrap my big strap around it and pull it with the truck.

 

[Trx250r180]

I now have 3 busted up trees ,stupid wind and a 4th that tipped over .
