    Ray, the ivy doesn't look to bad so maybe you could get it off okay. Can you rent a saw to get it cut up? Dang, if I were close it would be fun to help you out a bit. Might take me twice as long as a good man but I could get it done.

    You should be able to make firewood out of some of that tree .
    Looks like it might be red maple

    That will be fun cutting up and will make for some very nice fires.

    I have a Husky 555AT with a 20" bar.. Got it pinched pretty bad but managed to get it out.. Problem is the tree is huge and very heavy.. Will get what I can.. Oldest son would have helped but he is in the hospital so that's a n0-go..
