The job succeeds on camera. Best for landowners facing a similar hanging-limb situation who want a practical, safety-conscious walkthrough.
Tractor Mike is a longtime tractor-industry insider with decades of hands-on experience in the equipment business. He built his channel to help first-time and rural buyers make confident decisions, and his guidance comes from that deep, long-term background rather than a sales pitch.
Clear low limbs first, wrap a strap around the wedged limb, hook it to pallet forks, then lift and back up slowly until it releases and falls.
A tractor keeps you farther away with the loader sticking out, while in a skid loader you would be right underneath the hanging limb.
Keep animals and neighbors clear, have family nearby watching, carry a cell phone, and think through the worst case before starting.
