    dead oak status?

    Using a cable to pull that tree would be dangerous and foolish. A cable has no stretch and would shock load that brittle wood, causing breakouts. Open your eyes and look at how much back lean there is. Probably 100-200 lbs is all, 250 lbs if it's really wet and you have a headwind. Why do you...

    Welcome blewgrass! On a removal you can do the same thing with your saw. Just make a vertical bore cut in line with where you will cut your notch and you won't cause any reduction in hinge strength or structural integrity.

    dead oak status?

    Make your notch in solid wood above the codom stump and flop the tree toward the hydrant. Don't worry about the hydrant, you won't hurt it (although you might destroy your garbage can if you stick it out there).
