Where you located Fig? Those prices are extremely ridiculous. Great deal Benny! One idea might be if you see any tree companies doing line work in the area ask,some of those guys cut on the weekends to make a few bucks,also if you have a sawzall they make some real good pruning blades to get you started at the top of the tree if you don’t feel comfortable with a chain saw.

Wow thats cheap.
The power company might do that but theres a road below the power line. Its kind of a funnel for local traffic.
Im in Illinois. The power company hired a tree service to carve up my maple and a couple of oaks by their line. I tried to get them to take it down but they didnt want any part of it.

Just close the road. Might have to talk to the township about it as laws are different everywhere. I sure wouldnt climb that thing if I didnt have too. it might even be worth while to pay a logger to drop it for you.fig wrote: ↑Mon. Sep. 28, 2020 7:58 pmWow thats cheap.

Rent a 65' boom lift and cut sections short enough to drop at the base of the tree. Much safer than climbing. Probably only need it for 2 hours on site. Rents for about $600 / day so see if your neighbors or friends need some aerial work done and split the cost.

I have a friend that gets a lift often. He cuts a deal for weekends or holidays or when it isn't being rented and saves a bundle. He usually gets it for a week or two cheap because they don't want to come and get it, bring it back to the shop and let it sit there and then load it up again.titleist1 wrote: ↑Mon.

Lol yeh something like that only on a larger scale with a house below.
Sorry not yet. Got a dozen other irons in the fire. Plus waiting for a calm day with no winds out on the open prairie.
Pretty sure I’m going with the climb, cut, push method.

I agree with the guys. It's better to hire a professional climber to do all the work for you. It will cost a few hundred bucks, but it's a lot cheaper than what your life is worth. Especially if the tree is close to the house, if you cut the tree down wrong, you could seriously damage it. So I don't think it's worth the risk. It's not worth it. I always try to call in a crew of specialists when it comes to a larger plant than a shrub. And that, sometimes, to make quality care and pruning of the small garden I call professionals. I do not want to spoil anything with my own hands. Moreover, my http://www.dougstreeserviceantioch.com/ never let me down. I advise you to do the same. It will save your time and health.
