pine tree issue

[bigndn]

...that is 2.5 inches in diameter.

Don't you think the bole would have snapped before a 2.5" dia tree pulled up it's rootball? You're not the brightest bulb in the chandelier are ya?

Look, Captain Argumentative........all I was trying to say was that the situation may be more dangerous than it appears.

Sounds like we need a picture of said tree. A 20' tall pine tree is a very small tree. Leaning at a 30º angle, I would cut it with a 009 in about 10 seconds.

Maybe the OP misjudged and it's much taller than 20'.

I had a 20' tall apple tree fall over recently and I rocked it back and forth by hand and snapped it off at the ground and pulled it to the brush pile. By hand. Let's not make things complicated.

Cut it down with a weed eater.

Nice Idea, sounds much better then a beaver......

I have over 50 acres of pine. I would suggest to cut it down. In my soil (sandy loam), it just isn't worth the effort of keeping it up. It is only a matter of time before it falls.
