[Closed] Tree Surgeons? Will I die if I try this?

mcmoonter · 2012-01-03T15:20:46Z

The pictures are not that clear I'm afraid. I have a 50ft tree that has partially uprooted itself in the storm. It's held in the canopy of an adjacent tree and seems stable for the short term. Should it fall it will take out my Pool Hoose which I obviously dont want to happen. What is the best plan forward. I have a grey Fergie tractor and a 4x4. I was thinking attatching a rope as high up the tree as I can then cutting a hinge on the opposite side its falling towards. Not cutting it through completely and trying to tow it away from the building and hoping it would fall safely. If needs be I could ask at the farm for the hire/loan a huge tractor or maybe a loadall. I'm worried I'm using words like 'thinking and hoping'. What would a pro do? [img[img[img
