Deuce vs Stump

[MikeON]

Had to break some of the roots with my mini-backhoe first. The hoe would never have finished the job by itself - stump too big.

Way to put that truck to work!

Did you feel anything after you got moving ? Or just a slight tug!

Actually, it took several tries. The deuce didn't come to a sudden, jerking stop, but it was more of a long, smooth pull that gradually got harder until the chain would slip off. I had two wraps of chain on the stump so it would self-tighten, but the stump was bending over so much it would still slip off, until I finally hooked the chain lower. In the mirror, I could see the roots lifting up and could see how much the stump was bending over.

The stump was a maple, and they are considerably tougher than softwoods.

Awesome pull! Did you drag it behind you up and down the street to alert the neighbors of your manliness like a dog with a new bone?

Good thing I didn't take pics of pulling the azalea bushes out of the front yard with the shop van. They'd look kind of puny in comparrison.

I'll risk it. Deuce comes in handy for a bit of landscaping. Two are pulling down trees at the neighbor's house. I have yet to find out how to pull weeds in the garden.
