old metal fence post embedded in a tree! Removal Options?

[bruce]

Hi.

Got a tree with an old metal fence post absorbed/embedded in the tree.
Removal services have either declined or given a high quote to deal
with it.

Any "cheap" ideas to handle separating tree/post?

Careful chainsaw? Hachette? Possible acetylene torch to burn part of
tree? (Tree is 36" diameter)

ideas/thoughts??

thanks

Do you want to save anything?

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.

Nope. I'm actually looking to get two(2) trees removed. This is the
taller, more problematic issue. I've had some say they don't want to
deal with it due to the metal post. I've had some say they would, but
the price seems to be insane.

Just had two 2 trees cut by: Cross cut tree service, Tim Beanblossom 812-737-2020

Also had a tree cut down by him last year. He is reasonable and allows you to do the the cleanup yourself if you want. That's what I did, save about $600.00. I highly recommend him.
