I've had to cut down a couple of 60' popal trees that were going to interfere with my power line.
They were leaning toward the power line.
What I did was to tie a rope( 150' of climbing rope) as high on the trunk as possible, put a screw anchor in the ground where I wanted the tree to fall, attached a pulley to the screw anchor, feed the rope through the pulley and tie to my truck at 90 degrees from line of tree fall.
I then notched tree in direction of fall, tension the rope, back cut tree until tree starts to fall, add tension to rope and finish cut.
Every time I use this method the tree drops right on the pulley....
The main thing is to be certain you have the space for the tree to fall.
A helper in the truck is, well, helpful......
Be careful and aware of the situation.....
