DougC 2,641 #3 Posted January 25, 2017 If you have the right type of soil I can see how this would work. The last stumps I removed required a tracked skid loader and digging a big hole even with a tall stump as pictured. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WNYPCRepair 1,893 #4 Posted January 27, 2017 Just be careful. I've seen farmers lock the differential, throttle up, and then when the chain tightens, rotate the entire tractor around the rear axle and end up with the tractor on top of them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
