Remove Tree Stumps with Farm Jack

Vince shows us how he turned a farm jack into a tree stump removal tool.
He removed 11 stumps for about $80.

I had some fence posts and bushes to pull up. I watched about a dozens videos with people using the farm Jack so I went harbor freight and bought one for $110. Plus tax. I was surprised when I pulled my first post the main shaft bent a little, so I moved on to the bushes. After a couple attempts the shaft was not only bent but twisted also. They must be using softer metal than before. I can’t imagine a average sized man at 70 years old could do such damage. I am returning it.

Thanks for the video, it was very informative.

Put a board under the jack next time you pull a stump out

Great guide!!

[@brianbaker359]

Always handy to have a reciprocating saw with limbing blade on hand to saw some of those pesky roots but not required in this removal. Blades are cheap as you are cutting in the earth.

Good job. Thank you.

Interesting that just the farm jack at harbor freight now cost 100 bucks.

[@thewilliamseswonderfulworld]

Great video

[@twistedsd]

That same jack is now, $100!

[@barrytanenbaum4157]

Great Job!!!

No need to step the jack down like that, there is a release lever that will allow it to free-fall.

Or wrap the chain around your truck hitch and SLOWLY ease out the stump.

I removed huge oak stumps by digging around the base until you get to main root. Have a sharp axe and cut it through. Requires labor but better then being lazy and trying to burn it out. If you are financially able rent a stump grinder takes very little work.

You could also build an aclove under the stump, fill it with red hot charcoals and let it burn the stump above. Follow basic fire safety with a bucket of water on standby.

Today's price on lumber probably increased the price of that contraption ten fold.

What would be the most size pullable with this

[@GrrrRu]

Depends on what tree's stump you're pulling, as soon as the roots differ.

[@bestamerica]

' nice idea... better use a pair of block woods 4X4 plus 8 foots height little higher... lite duty chain on both block woods as /-\ and pair of block square bases on the ground

[@collinheble709]

Me scavenging an old property: free farm jack, free chain, free 2x4s .. Alot of trees for firewood..
