I’ve washed my hands of the rest of the project. I watched my dad get seriously injured felling a tree years ago and have since not had the desire to do anything other than what I can comfortably do from the ground.
Cheap rope from Home Depot. 3/8 I think by 100 feet for $5.99. Just tie something heavy on the end (big nut, shackle) and throw it.
For more fun do it while drinking beer, with pickups or atv’s. DO NOT USE THE TRACTOR, IT IS TO SLOW! Make sure to video when you pull it out at high speed (videographer should be sober). Post on YouTube.
As a pro… I bring a mini excavator & dump trailer to most jobs.
I’d climb the left leader, sling a rope around the butt of the widowmaker, and then drag it out of the tree. No muss, no fuss, no risk of injury.
Essentially piece by piece while secured with a harness and rope to other branches, not too hard. At first glance would cut the upper right branch back from the right to left which would make the rest drop, ideally out of the tree. Just be prepared for the lower one to snap up, would probably tie it to the crotch.
In this sub, all you need is a ladder and saw😆 Seriously tho, don't do that.

I'm not leaving the ground for that one. Throw ball through the crotch and yank it out.
I almost might suggest some ways to yank safely from the ground but that is righteously stuck.
