Biggest Tirfor good ground anchor and as Huck said shallow gob . Slight tension on winch . Slight back cut keeping your ears pealed for cracking lol and then stand back and winch away

How abouts a charity arbtalk event. Everyone pays £10 to have 5 swings or minutes with an axe or 5 mins with a silky. Winner gets a prize from a sponsor on here. Pay £10 for each go. It should raise millions.

 

Or we could just predict an outcome, direction of fall. How many breaks in main trunk, height of barbers chair. etc.

 

best idea yet!

the mighty Bedford is more than a match for that bad boy, and don't fret the timber is yours!

Be interesting to see if it comes over with the winch alone, looks like there still a lot of good wood holding that tree up, trouble is if you put a lot of tension on the tree to try and break the stem and it doesn't work you'll probably need to release some tension on the winch and go in and use the saw, but you may have weakened it with the tensioning of the winch and made the situation more dangerous. I certainly wouldn't crank the winch up to the max then go in and start cutting, that'd be suicidal. Depends what you've got for pulling it over, something big would be a good idea, be careful of overloading the rigging.

 

As some have said with the right approach and choice of cuts this tree may not need a winch at all. Very difficult to give any real advice without seeing the tree.

 

Whatever you decide to do, be sure and get a video of it, good luck.

It's rated at 8 ton by the military, so in the real world you know it's good for 16!

What's your biggest saw? Small gob then bore in and cut back, when the tree pops, pull the saw and bloody run
