I have a downed tree in my back yard. The tree is/was 80' long/tall. Either way it is still 80' of tree with a fork in the bottom third. It is still attached to the stump, but that is shredded fairly good.
I have at my disposal a small backhoe and a Jeep with a 12,000 lb winch, two pulleys one of them a double sheave. I also have 500' of 3/8" nylon rope.
The ground right now is way too wet to even think about putting equipment on it. I squish when I walk on it so I would probably need to get me a flight to China if I try putting the Jeep or the Kioti on it right now.
The good thing is that I can line up on the driveway to do the pull, but there are no anchors for the winch.
I don't much care about damage to the ground from the tree to the edge of the bush where I want to put it.
How do I rig this thing in order to move the tree horizontally 30'?
