Hope you enjoyed this video. All my tractor videos are here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH_GmJdvfK6iodE

I miss my MaHindra great little tractor it was a 3016 I had it 4 years and not one problem she was small but strong, I really like the look of your 4540

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks a lot. I've been real happy with it. It's really strong!👍

[@Mallard5plus1Farmhouse]

Thought I was going to have to bring the LS down there to help you out 😉😁. Great video ol buddy!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Lol.. I hear ya!😄

[@OhioHillTopsHobbyFarm]

Great one buddy! That Mahindra sure is a beast! Way to stick at it, weighing that much just shows how much power those compact tractors have ;) keep up the awesome videos!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Dave

[@terryhamrick8632]

Why didn’t you just shove it up with the grapple then pick it up and carry away. I have did this with a lot bigger stuff

[@terrymangum3914]

Hank, a little Monday morning quarterbacking. Since you had the post hole augers on the back you could have drilled some holes around it to break up the roots. Then it should have pulled out. The grapple did the job though. That Azalea bush was the biggest Azalea I have ever seen. Enjoyed watching to get it out of the ground.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Yeah, we committed to doing that project in the most inefficient way possible 😁 we learned a lot through the comments and doing the actual work. Thanks for tip, always great to hear from you👍

[@Mountaintoptractor]

Great video, question I have a 55hp tym with a backhoe, and a grapple. I have hundreds of stumps ranging from 2-10" that stick up 4-8". (Previous property owner had fire mitigation done, some are 3 years old some are 20yrs old) I'm at 7,500' in Colorado. What would you suggest? Renting a home depot stump grinder? Sawing them flush and abandoning them? Buy a stump bucket? Grab on with my cable choker and hope? Love the videos!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I’d definitely rent the stump grinder (if you’re tractor is HST)

[@HomeInTheSticks]

Good job sir and that was some big ol azalea bushes!!! Good share Mr Hank!! Dan

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Dan!

[@stanleyjohnston5876]

I was wondering when you were going to use the Grapple? Why didn't you knock the dirt off the root ball?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Bc I'm a rookie😁 lessons learned 👍

[@terrellcummings4385]

I like my mahindra tractor

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@DojosAllotmentSpecialist]

Great video my friend love the tractor

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks much👍

[@phil10000]

Never pull from the front of tractor strap could break or slip off and come flying back at you and worse case it could damage your hydraulic cylinders. Always think before acting it could be very costly.

[@krogunlimitedfahrenkrog6110]

You've got a brush grapple, grab what you can and pull it off. I much prefer chain for pulling anything out with tractor, they bite better and they don't get bound up like straps. As long as you are using a strong enough chain, it won't fail.

[@thedailydee]

I love how you showed previously host footage with info on what was happening. I love tractors. New supporter from the LIVE. I am here to stay

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thank you!

[@tractorben]

Very glad you are enjoying the 4540, we have great sales and satisfaction out of them. Just a tip, always idle all the way down before shutting down the tractor. The common rail does not appreciate being stopped at high pressure and you can blow the rail(also not covered under warranty.) Several thousand $$ for rail and lines. I go over those type things will all customer upon delivery.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Yeah we do that for the end of the work day. We let it idle up at the beginning of the work day and then we shut it down in accordance with the sticker below the steering wheel. Always good to follow instructions 👍

[@msanford75]

The worst thing I've ever done was buy a mahindra 4540 I absolutely hate that tractor and would never recommend anyone to buy one.

[@OutdoorswithErik]

Thats a huge root ball my friend, can always count on the grapple!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Yes it was big!!! Thanks Erik

[@brianlee4929]

Best advice I can give is use a chain when trying to pull anything out like that. If that strap breaks or slips off it will rubberband right back at the tractor, or worse you.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@frankcastle7777]

That tractor was very basic but a tank!!!!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

That's why I like it so much. Simple! It is a tank!!

[@kaseycasece1340]

young man , before u wrap chain around brush just look at brush first think best way to do this ! . u can do either way loader bucket or grapple or box blade teeth in the ground / dig beside this brush all the way around until u can get good hold to this brush with your chain wrap around twice ! . after u got brush out , next to shake dirt out before u haul to brush pile , okay !

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Solid advice!

[@kaseycasece1340]

young man , next time use loader bucket , with chain

[@stephencarlisle6339]

If u haven't fill those tires with water. Makes all the difference.

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Wow! Great work 👍

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks 👍

[@robertmartinez3769]

Nothing that a stick of dynamite can’t cure. 😂 after that you will have a nice hole for a swimming pool.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I heard that👍 maybe I'll try that next time😁

[@kwalsemann3919]

put the bucket On and push it out ,donein 5 minutes.

[@hphillips7425]

Will that area be big enough for the peacocks?😂

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Lol. Of course😊👍

[@dogasever_s_y]

this is awesome monster

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thank you!

[@BudERHicks]

19,300 LBS? How can a FEL pick up that much weight if it the pin breakout force is around 3,000? Your grapple has to weigh at least 500 LBS. And the closest root ball edge could be to the center pin line would be around 1 ft then extend out from there. That leverage decreases your lift capacity greatly.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

It was a joke.

[@D90-BELL]

Tractor💪 and waooow friend

[@robertcalaway4970]

That was a job for a stump bucket

[@AlanJFelty]

WHATYA KNOW GOOD, HANK?! 😎👍 AWESOME VIDEO! Probably Best One I Watched So Far! I Was ROFL Listening To You Talk About How You Had To Tackle This Challenge. Loved The Way You Figured Out How To Improvise, Adapt, & Overcome! 😎👍 Gotta Love The 4-Legged Kiddos That Leave You Presents All Over The Property! LOL! 😁😎👍 Yeah, I'm Bing Watching Your Videos Before I Get Back To My Day Job As An IT Guy... LOL! 😁😎👍 Thanks for another great video! 😎👍 Mr. FixNit

[@alphonsotate2982]

AFTER I CUT IT DOWN WITH THE CHAIN SAW I WOULD HAVE DRILLED ALL AROUND IT WITH THE AUGER ON THE BACK OF THE TRACTOR TO CUT THE ROOTS SIMILAR TO A BACK HOE THEN PUSHED IT OUT WITH THE GRAPPLE.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Ah, good point 👍

[@snobear41]

you have nice soil- I am jealous in Mid MO and I have "gumbo" clay

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@aaronrroy]

It may be immature but you had about a half dozen that’s that she said jokes in this episode

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Lol

[@TheNakidGardeners]

You are so strong. Moving all that by yourself. I need your muscles this weekend with our new raisedbeds 😜. Why were y'all taking that out again? Peacocks vs massage? Peacock all the way.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Azalea leafs and flowers are poisonous to pigs and our pig pen is right beside the old bush, so we didn't want the wind to blow some into the pen🐷🐷

[@TheNakidGardeners]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm ahhhh gotcha thanks for sharing

[@HomesteadJay]

Hahaha this is great! Shes got some power there! I know what you mean about moving stuff to get situated! I am gonna be doing some land clearing and I need to move 4 cars and 2 trailers before I start dropping trees everytime (just in case lol) This was great though well put together!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks! You definitely don't wanna drop a tree on your car. lol.

[@HomesteadJay]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm No sir! haha problem is finding room to move everything out of striking range lol

[@texaslifejulie8533]

I think you probably learned some things here. Entertaining video, knowing you weren't going to pull up a bush. Tree...yes, bush no.Lol Good job in the end !! ♡♡

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Fun times for sure👍

[@WilliamsonRidge]

Nice video! I had a tree that I dug up the root ball and it lifted the back tires with them loaded and a box blade, all that dirt mixed in makes for some heavy lifting.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

They are deceptively heavy

[@vitoruffalo2576]

Use the grabber to push the branches back, then use a cable choker.

[@LunasWitchyCorner]

Met you in Farmalls Live let's stay connected. Much love!

[@Rdrake1413]

Biggest azalea bush I ever seen

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

It was quiet large. Lol.

[@lilstepnoel]

I'm from the Farmall live. Living in the Midwest I'm going to love your channel. Just joined ya. We need another tractor, hubby's still driving his Grandpa's tractor to bush hog with. Well perhaps someday he'll get one. Love the video my friend.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thank you!

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

I thought you were going to have me bring the loader down to take out that little bush for ya.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I wish!!😁

[@justincosio7]

Did you have issues with going from fed gears to reverse when it was new?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

No. You just gotta find the sweet spot so to speak

[@justincosio7]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm gotcha. ive done some reading and it says the more hours you put on the easier it gets. Thanks for your videos! That's what made me by the 4540.

[@terryk3118]

How 'boutcha! Thanks for your service. Really enjoy your videos - and this one in particular. Like talking to my neighbor over the back fence (the one that talks funny).

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I appreciate it Terry. Thanks for the comment 👍

[@AJmx2702001]

That was a challenge for ya and glad it worked out with the grapple .. I push out trees and bushes with a Kubota SVL 75 track machine and i would have just taken it on without any hand work lol .

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

yeah I hear ya! :)

[@teamstucker624]

Thanks for the education on bush rootball battle's and congrats on the New Bird lol. We had a blast watching my wife loved the bet part. Thanks for sharing.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

We probably will end up with 2 bc she never gets just one of an animal 😳

[@teamstucker624]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm Yeah I hear that my wife does the same thing now I have 2 dog's She said I just want 1 then the dogs lonely let's get 1 more yeah that was a trick LoL. Take care have a great long weekend.

[@garrytalley8009]

I must admit you went about it the hard way. The grapple alone would have been the best choice. And you wouldn't have had to deal with staying out of dog poop either. But live and learn and that what videos are all about showing do's, don'ts and different ways to go about doing projects. Thanks' for sharing.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks Garry👍

[@BakingCookingEasyVlogs]

Wowww Sir very nice video supper video Great job

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thank you!

[@SouthernFoodJunkie]

First off, that is a huge bush lol. Second that is a huge root ball lol. Great job Hank 👏 now go get that Peacock!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I know right....I guess I'll make a video of that. Lol. Thanks Ronnie 👍

[@SouthernFoodJunkie]

@@HamiltonvilleFarm Haha, can't wait for that one too.

[@ffjokere3]

Good Vid. I have that same grapple so it was nice to see what it can do. Just curious, I wonder if you could have cut the tops down a little lower and then went over it with the box blade with the ripper shanks all the way down as far as you can go. Maybe cut around it first to break up some of the root structure, then trying the main stumps. Just curious.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

+P4UL that's a great idea. I will try it that way when I do another stump 👍

[@larrydsAquatics]

Must have been a stunning plant in its hay day great video.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

+Larry D's tanks & more. yes sir.

[@rickyarp253]

Ya lol I would have set the bush hog on it make life easier not harder or just use the grapple to rip up the roots

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I hear ya👍 thanks for the comment.

[@kenmosley4072]

All that manual labor while the red beast sits watching...Am I missing something?

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Thanks for watching

[@Archer11ca]

I see you had a pucker moment when the back tire lifted, you need more ballast than the post hole digger.
