Crikey, how old are those pics? I had those stihl kneeflex and Willans harness about 15 years ago.

 

They were taken yesterday! ;-)

I remember from my rigging course. I'm not saying to rig it. If it can't be climbed or rigged and no access for mewp or crane. Fell and make good the damage.

 

When telling use a winch to direct it.

You could also put a winch with a side pull to keep it from going left or right depending on what is the bigger hazard.

 

If felling a small gob sounds good. With some plastic wedges so if the saw hits them you won't have to sharpen it.

Are we all looking at the same tree here?

 

Bunch of padding logs, pull line, fell it!

 

If they don't want to pay for it, let it fall on its own!

I was wondering that what with all the talk about winches etc!

I reckon with a winch, mewp, crane, heli, and a rescue climber it's doable..,

would have to be a chinook

My mistake, no single rotor heli could cope with that climbers bollocks.

Tree fancier those little green bits at the top are a good indicator.
