Default pullin big pines down with the M52A2

Wow did I have fun today.

My neighbor asked me to try and pull down some pines he had around his house. All went well except a few broke off instead of pulling the whole root system out. Oh well he was happy they were down. I got some pics.
and a video I'm down loading now that I'll post as soon as I finish editing it.
The base of the first tree was a good 18" across I pulled it down and then he cut the top off then I repositioned the truck to pull it all the way out but it ended up being easier just to keep pulling from the original direction I pulled it down. A few yanks and it popped out.

the pics sideways lol oh well.

Wow. How far up the trunk did you wrap the cable/chain? I did not think a 5 ton had enough umph for this job.
