Yep, that's about the size of the stump of the tree that we cut up.
I have a sugar maple that was split in half vertically in the last wind storm at 15' in the air, a 12' ratchet strap wouldn't go around the truck to hold on a ladder stand. I had to put 2 together. Now, the tree is leaning towards the pond. The part that is on the ground measures about 100' long. I'm NOT looking forward to dropping the 2nd half. The base of the tree is only about 25' from the pond.
I don't mind dropping trees, but the bigger they are, the more precautions I take, especially if the wind is swirling any. Sort of like a spooked deer - every little out of place noise makes me jump.
