    Pretty cool contraption! I bet there are some soils that won’t let go of the roots that easy though.

    Do that thing have a hit/miss motor on it. Sounds like it's on it's last leg! Works good though.

    I would love to latch onto a few of the black oak stumps I have here... I don’t think it would win that battle....

    Thanks for the vid. I do believe that tractor has an exhaust manifold leak.

    Agree...and that looks to be very sandy soil too...those same trees wouldn't come out of our local soil that easy!

    I was thinking the same thing. The ground here is mostly clay and solid granite. You could hang a Chinook from some of the stumps around here.

    But it works for them. It’s some really cool ingenuity It looks like they are working some kind of orchard. So it’s obviously a very handy tool for them!
