Using Physics to Remove a Tree!🌳

  • For this tree and stump removal, we started with topping the tree. We left the stump on the taller side, so we can get the benefit of leverage. With the aid of some snatch blocks and the Wyeth-Scott Winch we were able to pull down the stump.

      I watched a video of a guy with a tractor and a higher degree in some science that I can't remember struggle for two days removing a stump. He kept preaching pulley math and quoting theories. More money and schooling than the ability to link muscle to mind. The comment section was lighting him up about what he had done wrong. He hid behind excuses and accreditation. Meanwhile, you made this look easy with practical applications of equipment and force without pretending to know what you're talking about.

      I now have the challenge of a red oak stump that doesn’t want to move. I’ve pulled and jacked from several directions, thinking that I’d seen movement. I’ve one more direction to try if I can muster an anchor that way, then it’s heavy equipment time.
      The tree had fallen over during wet weather after over 60 years that I know about, so my next effort will be to pull it directly away from the weak root system that allowed it to fall over. I’d been using its resistance
      To anchor other efforts, but it will soon be time for me to make some sort of table top out of the remains and fill the massive hole that’s roughly 10 feet diameter.

    I use the 1.5 ton with 20ft chain works good for me. If you plan on pulling trees against there natural lean I recommend use a 3 ton chain hoist or bigger.

    I’d like to remove a tree that’s next to my house, maybe 5 feet away. It’s ugly and it’s cross bred it something somehow 😆 it was here when we bought the house. But the house (neighborhood) is only 15 years old. We normally are a DIY type of people. But with the roots being so close to the house my husband is afraid we could damage the foundation..??!! It’s just a small tree maybe 15 feet, and less than 15 years old. I wouldn’t think 🤔 that could happen. Any ideas? Heard if we cut it to a stump then there was a chemical we could use to get rid of the roots??
