I think that this technique has merits, but a bit of prep work to cut the lateral roots would go a long way towards making the process less dangerous. Possible points of catastrophic failure include snapping of the gin pole as well as the cable/come-along giving out. You can tell by the amount of force Paul is having to use to ratchet the come-along that the stump is posing a lot more resistance than expected. Also, the root holding on at the end is not a tap root, it is a lateral. A better way is to leave more trunk to lever out the stump after cutting out the laterals with a heavy axe or sharp maul as you trench around the stump. Then attach the chain higher up the trunk and forget the gin pole altogether. If you need to, spike one of the links into the trunk opposite the length of chain so that the chain doesn't slip off. Just attach the other end of the chain to the tractor and gently tip the trunk. It should give way gradually, and as any tap or deeper lateral roots become exposed, cut away with the axe. The key word for safety is "gradual". Check often to make sure everything is holding together. The wielding the axe will give you a nice workout. Knocking off the soil between the roots makes the root ball lighter and easier to handle after it is out. A heavy digging bar is also a useful tool to have on hand. I've single handedly taken out way bigger stumps using this alternate technique. I did one just last week, and I'm 72 years old.

The way we do it is get a shovel and dig around the trunk then you look for the tree roots then usuing a axe to break them off. once you have enough space to get in there with the axe to cut them off then you use a truck and chain to tie around the tree trunk with one of the roots that is connected and pull it out that way because of the main Root underneath the tree and you chop the Root off with the axe. It may take some time but you don't hurt yourself at the end.

Beautiful work. I just consider the construction to be quite dangerous. If it allows the connection of the beam with the lying beam on the ground (under the pressure of the rope), then the structure gets off the ideal axis and throws itself on the ground. And that's where the staff stands. A rope or winch can hurt you very badly. I recommend doubling the vertical beam, to the letter "A". Attach both ends of the beams to the base. This construction will be stable and will withstand the danger that the construction will not be ideally in the axis of the rope.

We went back to the shop to get pipes and when we got back not even 15 minutes later my grandpa had the tire off already and was just sitting there waiting on us. We badgered him to tell us how he got it done and he said he would never tell us, and you know what, he never did! Hats off all the old guys with practical pragmatic years of experience!

Whenever I see how much effort it takes to remove a stump, it gives appreciation for the forces at work when tornados pull trees out by the roots.

You should ALWAYS drape a moving blanket over the cable when winching. If the cable would snap for some reason, the blanket will wrap it so it doesn't whip you and will cushion the blow if it does hit you. An old grinder taught me that, you never know.

He's probably got a useless Kubota BX like I do. Nothing but a glorified lawnmower with minimal sub cat 1 hydraulics. I had to pull six stumps out this spring by hand because that tractor didn't have enough strength to even help me pull them, never mind do the work for me. Only thing I would have done different for this guy is drape something heavy over the cable and chain so in case it breaks it can't lash back at him.

Farmers are tough people who deal with backbreaking labor all the time. I used to help my grandpa haul hay; he had wire-tied bales. They must have weighed at least 100 pounds. But they lifted them up on the wagon and over their heads when the stack got higher all day long! They were tough guys!

Well done! You still have it. Just to make it easier you can get a longer handle, like a length of chain link fence rail, to put over the handle to give you more leverage.

@IanKWatts3 жыл бұрын
the bastard of that winch is when you are tree lopping and trying to bring a large spotted gum from over a house. It certainly rips across your chest the further it gets off the ground.
@galeneale53784 жыл бұрын
Awesome video! Love the angled beam/column, but this probably added to your harder pulling. For anyone else attempting this, swap the winch so that you are facing the stump, and so that it does not raise up when the beam/column rises. Plus swapping the winch would allow body weight and gravity to assist in the pull. But really well done video, and stump removal! Thank you.
@susanfarley29144 жыл бұрын
Great idea. The reason I did it that way was that I anchored to the base of a near by tree and the come along would be pretty close to the ground, but I see that it could be arranged as you suggest. Paul

I was going to write this, but obviously this is pretty old video. also, flipping the direction, put you further away from the stump. and facing the stump, you can see what is happening without constantly looking over your shoulder.
