The Tuul Crib 7,336 #1 Posted June 13, 2020 So I'm in the backyard today doing some mowing and happen to look it up and see this. part of a dead tree hanging from another tree. I have to come up with an idea to pull this one down somehow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #2 Posted June 13, 2020 I'd cut the tree down that's holding the other up. Just make sure you have room to run. Should be ok with your legs. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,336 #3 Posted June 13, 2020 It's in a little sharp ravine or Valley it will be hard to get out of quickly. Maybe I can use a grappling hook to pull it down. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 9,981 #5 Posted June 13, 2020 Is it soft ground round the roots? Have you some kind of hand winch? Rope/chains round the bottom and pull. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I do I'm thinking that's my next option and I sure want to get it down because it scares me looming over my head! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 6,991 #7 Posted June 13, 2020 I had one of those leaners on the neighbor's property maybe 10 feet from the lot line. The shed where my Wheel Horse was in range, if the leaner decided to fall the wrong way. One of the storm's last week solved the problem. It blew down in a harmless direction. I like Randy's suggestion. Schedule the big bang for July 4. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tuul Crib 7,336 #9 Posted June 13, 2020 Well he does come down here every now and then to visit in-laws so maybe I could snag him when he comes down! Right @pullstart? 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
