Oh Lanse! Glad you saw the light. pulling down trees with a chain or rope is a super bad idea. You can pull them over right on top of you like that. A ot of people are killed every year from tractor /tree incidents. Dead ones are ones to never get a tractor near either. if you push them with the bucket, the top can snap off and land on you or flip the tractor over or both. Cab or not I have seen a tractor with a cab totally smashed flat by a tree. It wasn"t ours and the wind blew the tree over on it so no one was in it at the time. I don"t even like to drive a tractor near a dead one! I have been working in the woods with tractors since I was about 12 or so and am now 46.I use the chainsaw to drop them while the tractor is far away and then hook the tree to the log with the top cut off to pull it away. I have had some dead trees break the tops off just by pushing the trunk by hand! One thing I can safely say, you can"t get off a tractor fast enough to get out of the way of a falling tree or limbs and a tractor sure will not out run one. See if Mom will spring for a chainsaw or have someone drop the tree for you. It is a lot less painful than a hospital stay or a funeral. Be careful.
