Pulling down sycamores and other tree removal

   / Pulling down sycamores and other tree removal #12  
This tread got me to thinking about this piece of equipment. I was wondering how something like this would work on a nice size tractor.

After watching the video, the concept of the design is really simple and could be scaled down for smaller units.

The ROOTHOG.

[QUOTE="I then used my FEL with tooth bar and dug all around the stumps. The depth was around 1 foot deep. We hooked up our chains again and the stumps still wouldn't move. My tractor is 45 hp--37.5 pto. We were pulling downhill and still were not successful. Both stumps are still there. [/QUOTE]

I guess if I had gone down a foot around each I would have taken the chainsaw into the hole and cut them below ground, then used something to eat the rest of the stump away or just buried it.

Those are my future plans. My friend is going to bring a load of dirt. It has been so wet here lately, so it has to dry somewhat. Every time we plan to do it, more rain. I would rather have the rain instead of drought though.

Sounds like a job for a D9 Cat.
