Fortunately, it's not my responsibility to figure out how this tree will come apart. My friends in Findlay that will be getting this tree work at a tractor sales and repair shop, so will have access to equipment, not to mention the Bobcat and other tractors they own themselves. If I'm lucky, they'll have the limbs off of it when I go back
. It's certainly not a tree to just start hacking on. It would kill or mame you in a heartbeat. To see these trees in person is incredible. It's like going sight seeing. These pictures do not do them justice. Just walking up to one of these things and thinking of working on them will make you a little nervous. They definately deserve all the respect you can give them.
BTW, how would you pros go about dismantling a tree of this size?
