I had 3 pine trees by the power line that needed to come down before the recent hurricane, so when the power went out, at least it wouldn't be my fault. Dropping trees by the power line worried me, but the Vevor Rope Puller / come along allowed me to guarantee they'd drop where I needed them. It didn't cost me an arm and a leg, and actually saved me a lot of money by letting me do it myself. One of the better purchases I've made.
