Very Good.  I am a little late to the party but my time has come now.  Lived in my house in Ga 20 years and trees on the side of my house have grown too big.  Time to get rid of them.  Tree service cost in multiple thousands.  Got a chain saw, learned how to hinge.  Saw your videos and went to Harbor Freight. Pulled my first one and hope to get the second soon.  Learned much by watching your videos.  Thanks.

Way easier than I thought, and both  with only one pull!
Cant wait for the next one 😊

thanks for helping me understand pulleys better

I think this is my favorite of all of your stump pulling videos so far.
This is what I liked:
1. The two camera angles are always good, but this time we got to see a different perspective when you were close to the stump with your tractor. We saw the ground move just as you were passing by...it couldn't have been a better shot (granted there is the danger others have pointed out about being inline with the gear, although with the low stretch ability of your lines the risk in minimized).
2. The GoPro angle was nice with the roof and siding as a background.  You could easily watch the stump move forward with the line references in the background.
3. I like how you added the time lapse of the removal with the tractor and cleanup of the area.  I think time lapse was a good choice and it provided something new to see in your videos.  I would never want to watch the actual pulling of the stump sped up though...the creaking and anticipation would be lost.
4. Before you started, I wondered why you didn't put your lines around both stumps at once, but was surprised to see that the second came anyway. That was fun.

What I'd like to see in a future video:
1. How about a time lapse of you figuring out how to rig everything?  That way we could see as you made adjustments as you build your setup.
2. I'd also like to see how you store all of your equipment.  Do you keep everything in some tubs?  How do you store the lines?  Maybe a time lapse of the packing up too???

Good job!

One thing I've seen guys with stump puller systems like this use, are heavy weighted blankets draped over parts of the system that are likely to whip back if they break, so as to dampen that whiplash.  A cable can't as easily cause injury if it's dragging that heavy blanket around with it.  I thought about that as I saw you driving right by it.  Stay safe bro.  Good series!  Sat here and watched them, then sub'd.

great video Bud

1000 sub 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Eve3n though these stumps didnt put up much of a fight, the popping and clicking and cracking sounds add drama to the mix. It reminds me a little of an old film called "Das Boot." It was about a German U Boat, and when it went deeper than it was meant to go, it  would creak and rivets pop out of the hull to go ricocheting around inside It made for some intense viewing.

Crazy thing.  I've been excited about your videos and been looking for them.  I look today and find video #9 and #10.  However, they say they are from a year ago.

I've been binge watching all the previous pulling videos. Can you go into greater detail about where you're getting equipment and how you're setting it up

you should always pull from the draw bar on the back of the tractor. it's made for it... how did you get a loop in both ends of the winch line? (I assume that is a syn winch line and not a Polly rope)

Hey Brian can you do a video that just covers set up (for a MA system with compounding concept)?

Love seeing your progress man! Maybe look into a Jin (gin🤔) pole setup and attempt a straight vertical pull🤷🧐

wana see your fulcrum trick. Cut one of those bigger stumps to ge a short log to lift the stump out of the groud a bit

I've not watched all your videos, but have you thought about pulling a whole tree down? I'm researching this idea but have not seen any video of anyone trying this. You'd think, in your setting, that pulling a whole tree down would be a lot more efficient. Using the most top part of the tree as leverage. Seems clearing land would be quicker. That's my goal anyways.

I was wondering how much you have invested in all your cables and ropes system ?just curious

Im watching your videos with great interest.  I just had a 30+m whitegum eucalyptus cut down on my property.  

The tree company ground the stump down to just below grade.  But i want the root ball and larger lareral roots gone, as i later want to buid a workshop in the area.  

The tree stump is close to 1500mm in diameter at the base, so i dont think using winchs alone would free it.

I am currently digging by hand, and then using a sawzall to dismember the roots (some of them are 400mm in diameter each).  Which i am totoally fine to do.  And is actually pretty easy/fast to get down around the tree stump as im just digging in sand.

The problem i have is once i have the root ball free, i have no way of moving it.  But i do have another equally large eucalyptus down the back of my property.  I am contemplating using your method of winching to pull the root ball out of the hole once i have it mostly free.  And use it to pull the individual roots out one by one.

I dont think i would have any chance of pulling it out without digging it free first.

Its not my first stump either.  The last one i did was an old mutant jacaranda that had been cut, and then regrown numerous times over the years.  So its root ball was huge.  The stump easily over 1000m in diameter, and the main root ball about 1500 in each dimension.  I did it the same, dig it out, cut the roots as i find them.  But in order to lift it out of the hole, i used a skid steer, which just had enough oomph to get it up out of the hole and into the cpuncil green waste bin hahaha

I would be interested in what I could do with a lawnmower tractor. I have a mess of stumps of poison trees from bird poop, and I've let them go too long before I started trying to clean out the Chainlink fence row. I worked all day at no avail. Either my hook is wrong, or something... The tree stumps are only about the size of my wrist, but they ain't budging so far... Any help?...

no more to pulling up ? 😁

Why no chain?...............your strops are too low - you're losing about 25% of the height advantage.
