Very entertaining!! The CJ sound really healthy. I just dont know if I would do the removal of the trees like that but it looked like fun.

It would have been better if my buddy hadn't decided to de-rig the strap right then :mad: :laugh: The sun really messed with the camera on that one, I yelled at my bride for messing up the pic by playing with the camera, but she didn't touch the effects settings...


I've taken out a bunch of trees this way, but these are numbers 2 & 3 using the CJ. Normally I used an old F-250 Hiboy I had. Boy, I miss that truck!

We work on a very small budget around here! :laugh: Why pay someone else to do the stump removal? And I like to play at tearing stuff up. :chug:

The healthy sounds of the CJ are an illusion...I have been fighting a flooding carb for weeks! But I'm getting ready to swap engines for my spare 360 (stock) so I can rebuild/strengthen this one.

Great pics. I never thought of using mine for tree removal but it sure makes me regret paying 200 dollars for a tree removal service last fall. I had a tree destroying beast sitting in my drive way the entire time and I didn't even know it!
 
Good Job with the removal! :chug:
That's how I removed a bunch of juniper bushes and a few small trees a few months ago. I had several that wouldn't come out nicely, so I had to get a run on them. The roots on some of them things can be very strong.
 
I was getting ready to lay a brick patio in my backyard. There was a stump right next to the house that had to go. We hooked a brand new chain to the stump and to the truck. Stan pulled it taught, then got on it. Nothing. So, he backed up a little, got a little run at it, and POW! The stump is still in the ground. The chain broke. And now I have a dent in my tailgate. It wouldnt bother me if the truck was older, but its only a few years old. I would have liked to keep it decent. But at least now, he put the first dent in it, so it doesnt matter what I do now :)
 
Thats why I top the trees so tall, to get the leverage needed to yank it out of the ground.
When we removed a few 70-80 ft alders at my Grandmother's place a few years ago, I just set the strap (OH, NEVER use a chain! My straps are 8" across and designed to unstick heavy equipment) about 30 foot high and used about 100 FT of strap. Lifted the ol' F-250 3 foot in the air every time I made a run at it! Wish I still had the vids of that one!
