Alternatives to a chainsaw

[psd99]

I got a fairly large tree that along with some ropes, a ladder and some manpower I am considering to cut it down

it is my tree but it blocks sunlight in the evenings

I am terrified of using a chainsaw
I never wish to use one, having watched many horror movies and seen how horrific they are

i got a hedge trimmer and I usually use a handsaw but what alternative to a chainsaw could I use to cut this tree down?

 

[psd99]

Yep possibly someone else

depends how much they ask for
What is a realistic charge?

Tree is probably about 5-8 metres high. Number of branches and thick barks

Yes I think it is doable

the one central bark is massive that one is going to be difficult
The rest look okay

one thing I just realised none mentioned using a wooden drill bit etc
Not sure if holes would go through easily in trees though lol
