Heres what you should have done.Took 3 steel wedges and a sledge and tipped the tree over.Keep tractor and wife away from tree felling jobs.Man was killed here last week by a tree that fell the wrong way.He had a tractor and cables and 2 helpers.This happens often around here.A fellow inherited the place across the road from me.He decided to cut down a large maple tree on the roadside next to the power line.He got the tree cut thru and it would not fall.The fellow who ran the general store was watching and came to see if I had wedges and a sledge.We wedged the tree over away from the power line and high way.It could have fallen on a passing car.The worst part was the tree was healthy.and was properly trimmed.
