That's one smart dude... he just needs a bigger truck.

 

I think he was trying to load the tree at the same time :D

My dad removed trees for a living. During high school and college, I was his feckless assistant. We had no episodes quite that bone headed tho we did knock out our share of wires, transformers, etc.

 

We also used the old "pull it with the truck" technique. I recall one incident where he tied into the top of a tree, made his cut in the trunk and then jumped in the truck to tug the tree the right way. I watched in horror as he let off the brake, let out the clutch and then was dragged, backwards in the wrong direction by the humongus tree. It took us all day to get out of that one.
