This is my problem, I have a tulip poplar hung in an ash. The tulip might be leaning at 45 degrees uprooting and v crotched in the ash at about 50 feet . If I put a chain and pully above where it is hung in the ash, and tie it off, then under cut the tulip at the base and continue until it is just hanging in the ash then lower it down chunking off 2 foot pieces at the base.
My bull rope has a breaking strength of 12000 lbs and im guestimating the poplar weighs between 5000/6000 lbs will the rope hold it? The rope has been used to lower one other large limb its basicly new.
Is this a case of not trusting my equipment or what?
