Brodozer? The truck is almost stock. Before long you guys are going to be calling a stock Taco a brodozer. I also didn't really see an "idiot." Dude was hitting it pretty soft. I expected the rear end to be 4 feet off the ground.

He is still going to have to get some sort of machine to lift that stump now.

I don't see anything wrong. I cringe like crazy over a chain being that high without anything to stop the whip, but it's what did the trick. |

I expected the chain to go sailing through the back window.
That video was surprisingly reasonable. Plus, they got the stump out. |

This thread got me thinking that maybe you could pull a tree and stump together by attaching a rope or chain at the top of the tree. For stopping the whip, would you attach another rope to multiple points or have a rope double-backed and tethered elsewhere in case it breaks to keep it from taking out the rear windshield and driver? |

It worked. Not much drama there. Maybe throw a blanket over that chain...

Looked like the chain was hooked to the hitch (but then I could be seeing it wrong)- retarded.

First of all, it's not a Brodozer... Get your facts straight. Second, those guys are stupid as hell.

No whip with chains, just cables. Chains fall flat due to lack of energy transfer between links.

Usually throw a blanket over the chain, or loosely tie the chain off with a rope. I've had more than a few chains and straps w/hooks come sailing back at my tailgate

I've personally had a chain break, and come straight forward through my rear windshield. Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OBOlK1oEXY |

I found that to be surprisingly effective. You need the torque afforded by placing the chain at the top, and they did the right thing by securing it such that the chain pulling off was not going to happen. Also, the movement was pretty slight, and the pulling effectively rocked it out rather than just trying to pull it straight out. I've seen many worse Youtube "hold my beer" disaster videos, and this isn't anywhere near those.

No one in Texas owns a chain saw?
Corrected to Cali. Now I am surprised that the huggers weren't in a circle around the thing chanting and mourning the passing of one of Mother Gaia's children. |

Other then a personal phobia of using chains for stuff like this, I see no issue. Did something similar at my old house with my toyota 4x4 and an inertia strap. The property across the street was a retirement home and the sound of my tires barking when I pulled on the stump had all the residents come out on their balconies to watch the show. They told me they thought some douchebag kid was doing burnouts in the street, when they saw what I was doing they nodded in approval and watched the show. A few of them clapped when I got the stump out, it was pretty funny. |

You have to cut it up anyway to manageable chunks to handle it. Cut the stump flush to the ground, bore the remainder with the chainsaw slotting it or with a drill to let water in, done. As it rots backfill with more dirt at your leisure. Tree out? Sure, it would take a wrecker to lift up what's left or cut it up in the street dulling the saw and you have this big hole in the ground to fill - which will still need more dirt next spring anyway. They made it worse, not better. Sorry, it's not about how big the truck is, it's about how to do it right. Shortcuts don't work, ask me how I know. |

Or they could winch it onto a trailer, take it to the dump, and just throw some dirt in the hole. It's not how I would have gone about getting rid of it it, but it worked. You guys get worked up over the weirdest shit. |

Here's something that works ok for little stumps provided you also spend some time breaking roots. It's not as fun as applying a gasoline or diesel-powered solution.
It's not so good on uneven ground with big stumps. Hi-Lift sells replacement climbing bars for a nominal price.

A wet blanket over the middle of the chain will make it fall almost flat though. Also, new ARF brodozer:  Attached File |

Went better than when I tried it with my 78 bronco on an 8" scrub oak without my seat belt on. Now I know why they call them broncos.
