It's in a gully between two fields, and the path in the gully is too steep and slippery for a tracked MEWP.

The direction it needs to fall/be pulled in would involve getting the rope/cable up through some other trees. This might be an option, I agree. I am inclined towards staring the back cut with a telescopic chainsaw, and then if it has not fallen early on changing to the 20ft Silky pole saw; this is after having put ratchet straps round the trunk above the cavity.

 

Get two cameras on it, in case one gets wiped out 😉 K

First picture shows no gully just some railings and what looks like field.

That’s going to be a nasty one however you do it.

 

Good luck!

Can you not get tracked Mewp in there. 

You mentioned winch tractor then just pull it over. 

This. Put some winch power on it, see how it behaves.

Or walk away.

Go at it Fred Dibnah style and light a small fire under it.

Good video. 

Zip lining almost becomes a pleasure with a tree like that.
