Dean - See PICT0303.JPG on this web page....

I did a lot of chainsaw work after Katrina. In this picture we got TWO
saws bound up and needed a 3rd to free them!

Saw on the left was fist to bind up. Initially it looked like this tree
was under pressure from a tree and branches to the left and the root
ball on the right so I started from the top. I was wrong and before I
could pull the saw it bound. Second saw, the one on the right, came in
from the bottom. That cut should have been proceeded by a relief cut on
the top first, but wasn't. You can see the result. We brought in a
third saw and cut just to the right of the second saw to free the first
two saws.

To do what you described we used a bobcat with pallet forks!
See http://www.peppel.com/katrina/page0006.html pictures PICT0382.JPG
through PICT0386.JPG for how we used a bobcat to get a tree off a roof!

Something cheap, that can be handled by one person, and would fit in
the back of an SUV would be ideal! Invent something.
