    Decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather we had yesterday and digout the spruce stump at the corner of the house. The ol JCB is hurtin and is pretty much on its last leg, but between it and dad's 12k trailer winch we got it out. It's amazing how strong those dang taproots are! :hair:

    You made as little work out of that stump as you could! I wish I had access to equipment like that to take out a couple of white pine stumps. I'm going to have to just grind them out and call it good. Very nice Smokinpiney!

    The telehandler actually runs great (just used it to pop the stump from the hole) but the backhoe is not doing so well haha. She still kicking though!

    I had planned on grinding it at first but we might put an addition on that corner of the house. So it needed to come out completely
