 exactly what i was thinking. he had a fence right in front of the ute also, so he had no where to go to get out of the way either.

Worth noting for our intrepid post remover though.....despite having gravity on his side this guy still had wheelspin and major rope issues getting the trea to just fall over. So much hard work...just to squash his vehicle..... Wouldn't a sledge hammer be easier?

Man when was that filmed in the 70's or something? This eerily looks like something i remember from my childhood when my father paid two tree monkeys to remove two great big pines. Their rope snapped, and the whiplash from it fired through the back window of the ute and smashed the glass. All I can remember of it is one of them telling the other guy who's ute it was not to swear in front of us children. After they'd left we all had a good laugh about it though.

Might have been a half decent idea if the rope was much longer

nothing wrong with using a rope on a vehical to pull a tree. common practice and have done it myself plenty of times.
mistakes those guys made was the rope was way too short ( ute was never going to get far enough from the tree not to get hit, plus the short rope was lifting the back of the ute off the ground).. and even with a long rope , you need to have somewhere to drive.

Still dont' see what is wrong with taking a cut out of the bottom and then once you get part of the way through from the other side down she comes. Gravity does all the work and your car ain't even involved. Sometimes a few guys with a long rope on the end can help make sure the tree falls in approximately the right place too....

cut a scarf out of one side in the direction you want it to fall and then cut from the back will get the job done mostly.

Putting that much force on a post and having all that resistance disappear at breaking point would cause the post to fly into the car wouldn't it?
Well is it a possibility? I'd tie another rope around the post attached to something in the opposite direction that the car would be moving.
