What kind of trouble you got chief? I removed one myself today.

Tools used.

2 steel wedges
1 steel Chisel
1 chainsaw
1 40lb pry bar
1 20 hammer
1 six pack of beer.

I was done in 2 hours. Tied more streamers for Doughty's swap.

It is about a 35' tall aspen that was pushing on a vinyl fence. It got notched but is showing signs of cracking upward. It is about 12 years old and climbing it isn't an option in my book. I think it needs a bucket lift so you can start at the top.

Chris if you can....take a picture of the tree base and the fence. Just wondering how much room there is to work with.
Where is the tree located? Back or Front. I brought one down today roughly the same size. I used an extension ladder
to tie off as high as I could and cut it in thirds. I strapped a rope on each section coming down as I cut it down. The
top 1/3 will be the hardest cause it has more give. Once you have that one down the rest is easy.
Yeah you'll need another guy to do this.

kill it before you cut it in order to prevent suckers
