Wow - Photobucket puts up so many popup tabs I can't hardly see your picture, aside from it taking too long to load all that that I only looked at 2 pictures. Sheez.
I've taken down stuff like that. Hard to do without experience, and hard to get experience if you don't do it. The catch-22.

Ropes aren't as strong as they look, and 35 feet of chain doesn't get you out of harm's way on a tree over 35 feet tall. Think you need more equipment in that regard, before tackling it?
I put a cable/ chain longer than the tree off in the direction it want's to fall, hook on the tractor, cut the notch & cut on the trunk, and before it goes on it's own & creates a bind or pinch, pull with the tractor.
