The Ford pulled it down no problem. It's a hickory.

Good deal on Tractor Supply site...except in store purchase only, can't order and I called TSC who said no stores have it.

I can't remember the store or details anymore, but about 30 years ago, there was a big lawsuit over a store chain that would advertise sale items to get people into the store, and then "somehow" never have that item in stock.

"Oh well, you're here now... you might as well buy some other stuff at full price!"

just last week our electric utility came onto my property and cut all trees within 15 ft of the power lines. its ok by me, i wouldnt want a tree to fall on lines. they limbed them all up and left the wood on my side of the fence. they took all the branches. i now have 3-4 years of firewood.......

man, theres a lot of trees to process.

had to purchase a grapple to haul the stuff.

here, no one cares if a tree hits fence, the owner just cuts and moves the junk.

My other farmer/friend I called & we went over looking at it. He & I will work on it later...he believes with his large tractor we can strap it up high, "throw the fuel & oil to it" and we can pull it on over...peeling what's left up high "like a banana".
I'll try remember take my phone/camera & report back.

I would not do that. Stripping bark will damage the tree, unlike sawing the limb at the bole. If your neighbor gets nasty about this, he could sue you for damages.

I've been piddling with it. I got a tow strap on it, on truck hitch and it just snapped the strap!
After checking more I'm thinking it's hickory.

Anyone can sue anyone for anything, any time. 'Merica!

But winning is the challenge, or more specifically, winning an award large enough to have made it worth your while.

Cleanup the wood that's on your side of the fence. That's all you are entitled to do. Why would your insurance company care, or even need to know?

Get the chainsaw out and start stacking for next winter

Hickory?? When is the barbecue?

Never assume.
I thought if a neighbor's tree fell over onto my property the neighbor was responsible which is why I called my insurance company. Strange because if it fell on a shed, car, etc. on my property it's my responsibility. I'm thinking years ago it wasn't that way.
It all turned out fine...except so far I've burned up two chainsaws cutting it up!!! It's like cutting steel pipe. Chains were sharp.

I cut a lot of hickory. Always figure on sharpening or swapping the chain every 2nd tank of fuel, if you keep the chain clean and out of the dirt.

Hit the dirt, and chances are you found at least one rock, so that's an immediate chains swap. Set them aside for grinding in a raining evening.
