Pulling out a tree stump?

[07Custom]

You think I can do it? Lol lifted like crazy on 37s. I dug out most of the roots and it's been raining a lot so the ground is soft. I wonder if I can do it.....

Anything I should look out for? I won't toast my tranny or anything right? I've only done this with stock trucks before.

Put it in 4 high and give it some gas. Pulled out some large shrubbery/medium sized trees with mine on bald 265s. Make sure you got it strapped up good though. Don't want it to snap or pull out and break something

4 low

Dont use a chain

4-low, lock them up, and you can probably idle most stuff out of the ground. I ripped a bunch of large bushes and a tree out of my friend's yard and didn't even put marks on the grass.

Tried it, didn't work.

There are limits! Looks like the angle of the cut and the truck aren't exactly ideal either.

Mine is much smaller than that. I've dug most of it up. 4lo? I've never put my truck in 4lo lol I'm scared!

is that strap in a clevis or just slipped over the ball of a reciever?

At the time it was on the receiver but I believe a few others have already given him the lesson on not to do that anymore[emoji106]

We were using small chainsaws to cut it and we couldn't get all the way through so we just tried to rip it off with my truck and it didn't work. But I didn't yank it, just put it in 4-lo and gave it a little gas.

No way that's coming out of the ground. Just cut it down as much as possible and call it. Not worth tearing up your rig. Get a bigger chain saw will be a lot cheaper

Let it rot for a few years. You'd hate to snap axles, etc just to be a good guy.

Stumps... if your truck can't pull the part that's above the ground, what makes you think it will pull the strongest part of the tree? Little stumps (like less than 6" diameter), maybe but large stumps are simply a good way to break and bend lots of things. That said, I've pulled a fully buried truck out with a winch and snatch block from a tree that was 4" in diameter.... dynamite is your friend here.

Probably a couple of quarter sticks of explosives placed on the opposite side in the direction you want it to go, fill with ammonia nitrate pack with full bags of top soil layed on there and plenty of fuse.
Oh wait that was for beaver dams on the farm.

Never mind, call a stump grinder service.

:giggle: I guess most people look at a tree stump and they don't think about all the weight that the stump holds stable. That stump Derien hooked up to probably held 50K lbs + before it was cut when you factor all the water in a healthy, living tree. I love the effort though.
