Cades Cove in the Smoky Mountains has fence posts made from black locust 150 years ago that are still standing. Take that Yellawood!

That's why they also call it ironwood...

I log in multiple ways and have a few means in which to do so. Lately it has been with my bulldozer and log trailer.

Nice rig, but you might want to wear some more protective clothing/gear when you use your chainsaw, or at least ditch the heels.

Why not just hire wrecker to pull it down

So, I need to pull down some trees that are hung up on other trees. Some are very large oaks. I own a small 25hp tractor. After some research, it looks like a few snatch blocks and cable will do the trick. I don't believe I need to invest in any sort of winch attachment to do this, as I just cut wood for myself in my own woods. Maybe a hand winch like the More Power Puller would do the job, but that thing is over 300 bucks. So, could someone recommend a few snatch blocks and cable? Other thoughts?

Are these trees still attached to the roots? Are the roots still at least partially in the ground. That's going to make a difference in getting them down.

No roots attached.

I thought most folks referred to Hornbeam as ironwood (actually separate species)...never heard black locust called that...
