Possibly but would have needed a much bigger winch with spades which would have done quite a bit of ground damage as there was more crown on the far side than this due to a large oak being this side till that went a few months back.

The risk of whichever stem you anchored to failing without bringing the whole tree over was a worry and as it happens we still put a floating v onto the two main stems just to make sure the load was spread.

14m3 of chip and 3 trailer loades of timber so was a deceptively large crown on it.

 

ok thanks, now you've explained I can see why it wouldn't have been worth the risk, even with a big tractor winch, just to save a few hours climbing

It always amazes me how much those grabs will lift!

 

Especially since cab mounts have no stabilisers and just rely on the pure bulk of the tractor under them, some people don't rate botex but not many can handle big hardwood like these do but any crane is better than cutting up and handballing if the access it available!
