Re: RE: Action shot!
Unfortunately that's how the day ended. We cut as many roots as we could find, and dug up all around it with a tractor, and pushed on it with the tractor while pulling with the deuce.... but that thing was IN THERE.Armada said:Duece - 0, Stump - 1

Tie the wife to the stump and tell her you're bringing home more military vehicles! She'll pop that sucker right out-coming after you!

I want to see the video. We know you have it. We can see the camera in the picture. Humiliation is much better on video.

Vids coming....
It was engaged. It's not spinning in that pic, but if you look next to the front wheel, towards the camera, you can see where it had dug in on a previous attempt.hogtruck said:

Oh and the smallest vid was 13mb... though I think if I can find a program to edit/compress I should be able to get something a bit more managable. When I do I'll post here.

you need a real truck to pull stumps or destory houses on the first try, try a 36000 pound 819

Maybe if you had put a ton or so of ballast in the bed you could have yanked that stump up. The mass coupled with momentum would have helped. Just my 2 cents worth.

When I pull out stuck forklifts or tractors, I get as close as possible (usually 6' or so). Choke off low on the stuck vehicle as possible. This way, when you tighten up on the chain or strap, you transfer weight from the stuck vehicle to the deuce. This also picks up on the stuck vehicle, making it easier to extract. I generally pull them out with their engines off, easier for me.
