The one with the meter? I wouldn’t cut it either.
But seriously, maybe you could get the power company to deal with it.

Its not falling on the power pole or line and the NFS is the owner. I showed it as an "dangerous splitting tree" example and have no intention of felling it..The one with the meter? I wouldn’t cut it either.
It might be photoshopped, but I highly doubt it was staged. What would be the purpose of trying to stage and risk a tractor like that?

I think it is real.

Agreed. Photoshop is very likely, a real incident somewhat less. But I'd have trouble believing it was staged, as in, "let me go purposely hang my tractor from that tree".

Seriously, I (sort of 
) agree it's real not photoshopped. The only way I could see is using crane that got it down hung it there for sensationalism, youtube hits, etc.
Shadows are something they say to look for. I have a friend who is good at analyzing photos...I'll see what she says & she consults with others good at analyzing real & fakes.
Like the guy in youtube video said...99.9% sure it's real. I like 100%.

Talk to your local power company, the 'may' take issue trees down for you for free. They do around here, I had them out earlier this week for a dead pine.Leave it or take it down?
