Good bye to stumps

[gugy]

I finally finished my stump/tree removal project. It almost had me stumped! But Kobota(BX-22) came thru with flying colors.
The little tractor that can do.So Guys please don't knock the small tractor.Some times bigger is not better.The BX-22 drove right into the 20 yard dumpster.
Enjoy the pictures.

Ditto that Gugy. How many were there, & how long did it take you?

 

[gugy]

Tdog,
Over a period of time, I will say it took about a week.
8 oak trees the biggest meassured about 23" at the stump
The smallest about 6' all were about 35/40 feet tall.The big one took two days to remove. All were removed with the BX and a 3 ton lever chain fall.

Thats impressive! Good work on getting those out. I have done it on occasion but everytime, while I am doing it, I keep thinking the a D-6 or explosive would be faster and more fun.

Good job.

I wonder if I know that by another name. Any chance of a picture of that in action?

Hello Gary,
It might be called a racheting chain fall.I really don't know the proper name for it.I'm posting two pictures of it in action.They are not the best pictures but that's all I have,look close and you can make it out.
