#70 Tree Stump Removal with Sure-Trac Dump Trailer and Custom Log Arch

In this video Chris asked me to give him a hand in helping him pull out an uprooted tree stump from a property he works at. I brought the Sure-Trac dump trailer and by utilizing the custom built log arch we were able to yank the stump, load onto the trailer, and dump all within about an hour!

2nd to comment. My back hurts just watching. I'm old and have asthma. I used to be up for projects like that.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It was a fun little job! No backs were hurt in the making of this video! The winch did all the work!

[@Erhorn300]

Are you using the trailer battery for double duty? As in running the winch and trailer? I liked the video alot, been a sub for a little while. Between you and outside with scheib im sold on a rugged made.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

So it kinda of depends on the situation. Yes the trailer battery directly powers the winch no matter what as was the case in this video. However, when I am doing a lot of pulling I have 0 gauge welding cable ran from my 2 interstate truck batteries to the back of the truck with an Anderson connector which can then be hooked up directly to the trailer battery to charge/power the winch. The trailer battery also has a dedicated plug in battery charger for when it’s parked as well as a solar panel that is continuously charging the battery on the road. This is all in addition to the trickle charge that it receives through the 7 pin electrical hookup to the truck. Lots of redundancies so that I never run the battery dead!

Wow that log arch is beefy! Nice vid Jake

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks Aaron! First two versions looked like toothpicks compared to this one 💪🏼

[@TKCL]

That's a sweet setup you have! Awesome trailer!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks Andrew! It works really well!

[@PurpleCollarLife]

That's a huge stump. And I've never seen a pile of stumps that big!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It was a good one! Believe it or not I’ve yanked one MUCH bigger...yeah I think that’s the largest pile of stumps I’ve ever seen Chad!

That wood recycling plant looks very much like the plant where Hometown Acres gets his IBC totes from. At that plant they get bulk dye in the totes and they then become excess to their needs.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

You’re right Alan it does! While I was there I was looking to see if they had any totes and I didn’t see any...I’ve been getting them for free from a guy lately so I’m good there!

[@mikeadams2339]

Great to see the arch in action. Winch made it to easy.i wood have busted a taillight! That'z a woodyard!!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Glad you enjoyed it Mike! Not many of them out there so I figured I’d share!

[@talkingcargojunkremoval]

What's the winches load capacity?

[@Surtac100]

You listed about everything except what Brand and specs of winch you used

[@DudeRanchDIY]

The winch is is a 12,000 lb Champion winch. Got a good deal on it used, planning on upgrading once it craps out!

[@guerrydotson3213]

Cool video.....You got any small friends??? BTW.....three more pair of Kinkos arrived yesterday morning. A surprise for my crew (dad and son). Now testing durability......you cost me $60!!!! I am sure they will be great thanks for the recommendation........

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Yeah I got Sam lol! Nice! Let me know how they work out for you!

[@traviscover590]

I like your new video today you guys did a really good jop today this was really cool video today good jop today buddy

[@russellwilkins8997]

What size winch?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

10k

[@TractorTech]

I bet most tree companies would have charged an arm and a leg to remove that stump.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I’m sure they would have! It was not easily accessible especially with the row of hemlocks there!

[@tb4482]

hope you got lunch at the Burrito shack, that place is awesome....used to ride atv's in the old sand lot across from where your dumping.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Ahh good ‘ol T’s place burrito shack! Believe it or not it started out in my hometown years ago! That was the spot to go for lunch when we were in highschool! Nice! I’m always looking for some local spots to ride...I’ll be up in that area a lot more come spring...

[@guerrydotson3213]

First

[@DudeRanchDIY]

You beat Thomas!

[@ejkjr.4694]

Nice and interesting especially using the trailer winch hook ups, always learning, thanks

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It’s a pretty neat system!

[@steveashworth6707]

That set up is real nice!, good job!.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Thanks Steve! It works well, lots of thought went into building it!

[@williamwhite9275]

If only you could have brought home a load of wood from there

[@DudeRanchDIY]

The customer wanted to keep all of the wood, I have 5 trailers loads to get through back at the yard!
