This is the first time that a pair of stumps have pulled out perfectly at the same time.

Im commenting mostly because you requested ,and I dont mind helping . But I have an admission to make.When everything goes perfectly, like it did in this pulleys & stumps episode, I am happy for you and maybe even a little proud of you...BUT, when things go all pear shaped and you need to stop and rethink and try something different I learn more. Whch is more satisfying from my end. Dont get me wrong here,I am not hoping for nor advocating trouble or failures. I want you to win your war on stumps I am on the side of right and of progress. But at least this time the rain squall was a small stumbling block and got your butt wet .which was a lesson I have not completely learned for myself yet

I appreciate you watching and commenting! It was definitely nice to have things go smoothly this time and for next video that I already did but haven’t posted. These stumps were soft wood so they were pretty easy, but the next ones will be a change and I’m going to start learning from scratch again. These 4 stumps took less time altogether than one used to take, which was very welcomed since it was really hot in GA this past weekend!

My only suggestion would be to pull from the rear. Your bucket is designed to push and your rear 3 point hitch is designed to pull. So the rear is the strongest point.
@brainhomestead63 ай бұрын
Yeah I switched to pulling from the rear after I did some bending of the front bar.

I agree about the stumps! Since I’m on the tractor as I’m pulling, I never hear them cracking until I go back and watch the video back from the GoPro.

Cool, keep the good videos rolling. In case you cannot lift a stump with the tractor, can you easily remove the front bucket and use only frame for lifting?
@brainhomestead69 ай бұрын
Yes and no. I could try that but the “quick release” lever on the bucket got bent by me after I got it, so it’s not that easy right now.
@caotropheus9 ай бұрын
@@brainhomestead6 That looks like something you need to repair. Lets suppose you need to replace often the front bucket by a fork lift? A fork lift for the front is even a more suitable tool to move those stumps.

my question is the lenth of rope and size, what is the pulling power of each rope.... I have read on the internet that a SK99 rope 200 feet is thousands of dollars... I see a lot cheaper but no clue of breaking strenth...
@brainhomestead66 ай бұрын
On my first preparation video in this playlist, I have linked to Amazon the rope I’m using. It’s 3/8” generic synthetic rope similar to Dyneema, but not that brand. The stuff I’m using has a 23,000 lb minimum break strength and it’s 100’ long. It was $89.

Hmmm, I followed the list, so now you need to add the tractor (that one is a pretty penny) and the property with room to run it. Will see about trying the spousal unit and me per your previous video. Congratulations on this though.

@biggs87297 ай бұрын
Looking good. I knew if you started choking the straps on the trees with the back cut, it wouldn’t slip off any more. I think you should find a new way to pull with the tractor, a dedicated anchor point. Choking the cable around the bucket is risky and pulling from the side of the bucket is not good. Good job though.

@dizzydinonysius9 ай бұрын
Good job, you are getting better at it since using the choke method. When you use the bucket of the tractor, you shouldn't push or pull on one side or the other. Not only is it bad for bearings and/or bushings, it produces an unbalanced torque, and less traction for the vehicle. You didn't experience it here because those came out rather easily but with higher tension on the pull, the tractor would twist, creating a more dangerous situation and damage to the vehicle.
@brainhomestead69 ай бұрын
Yeah I noticed that when I was picking up really heavy loss. I can hear the loader pop as it slides diagonally if it’s loaded to heavily on one side or the other. Like you said in this case, fortunately, it didn’t take too much force.

i reckon you should try a "full sized" tree just as you have been doing before going to the trouble of drilling holes and flooding them. They dont look huge.
