About to try and pull out a stump...quick question

I dug under it

 

I did a video of it but I don’t know how to post it. It worked fine.

On to the next one.

 

For the person who asked how I attached it...I used my big pry bar and dug under the main part of the stump. Just finished doing it to the second one.... here we go!

 

I hope you weren't pulling in reverse. I thought I read somewhere the reverse gear is not as strong.

 

No need to dig.

 

This worked like a charm btw

 

Clove hitch or Prussik knot.

 

I would say you start digging anyway.. I pulled 4 stumps with my truck but the easiest thing was digging and chopping at the roots with an axe. Best of luck, they are a pain if they have been there a while.

 

Scroll up...they’re both out already lol. No digging needed besides to get the chain under the center

 

Glad I could help. Lol

 

Good job! For the future, if you wrap the chain around the trunk twice and then grab hook into the chain, it will tighten up on the trunk and less risk of it slipping off.

 

Good Job. I prefer stump removal by fire. Put a fire ring around a stump and burn it for 48 hrs, feeding the fire and drinkin beers of course.

 

That’s how I get rid of the witches and gingers in my yard.

 

Yeah man I just cut stumps to the ground, get a drill and put a half dozen holes in it, then fill the holes with bleach. Let the Bermuda grass grow over top. Done. No risk of damage to the truck.

 

dig and cut roots i used mine to pull out a stump in front of house lol

 

Cut the bigger roots then saturate the ground around it thoroughly using your garden hose. It loosens up the soil and allows it to come out easier.

Ok I’ll keep that in mind! I figured digging under the stump would be the best way to ensure it didn’t slip but your way is a lot easier and faster haha
