It's a good idea! Trying to pull even smaller diameter items like posts of various kinds is really difficult to manage the jack wanting to pull forward in to the object. You lose a lot of height and leverage especially if the bottom begins to slip out the other way.
Diablo makes sawzall blades with tungsten carbide teeth that don't dull when cutting roots right through soil. Would be nice when combined with the jack.
I wonder if you could use metal conduit pipes as legs rather than 2 x 4 wood. By using steel pipes it would give you more clearance and allow you to raise the jack a few more times and be lighter than the wood. Great video, Just a suggestion.
Thanks for the video. I've got myself a jack but struggling to find where to buy the other stuff. What chain did you buy and also what type of hook did you buy to attach it to the jack? Many thanks
The chain my dad was using was a 5/16ths inch grade 70 trucker's chain from Harbor Freight. It comes with hooks already attached. Harbor Freight also has grade 43 chain that should work as well. If you are interested we could do a video talking more in detail about the setup
Awesome!-look like 4X4 Front Stabilizers you made. Is that a 60 inch Farm Jack? If so, what length did you cut for your front Stabilizers and what diameter Threaded Rod or Bolt size and length did you use at the Top to secure through the jack? I have 25 Cedar Hedge Stumps to pull that were a hedge from 37 years ago, biggest about the size of the stump you pulled. Good Video, Thanks.
I have a 48 inch farm jack and cut mine the same length. I think cutting them longer would be better for stabilizing and leverage? Whatever you're pulling should be relative easy like this video. If you encounter resistance be ready with a Sawzall or something to cut roots as you pull it up. I broke my first Farm Jack because I didn't cut roots. IMO this method should work great for your cedar hedges, good luck with your project.
Rather than pulling the stump, why not think LEVERAGE and PULL the whole tree over ? Nature knocks over trees. Does Nature ever remove stumps ? Hmmm ? It's not rocket surgery guys.
Best I've seen it done! The set up is key and you nailed it
This brought back memories of my dental appointment last week.
Great way to uproot a tree, worth learning, thanks for sharing
Im amazed by how such tools and techniques can be so effective.👍

Well done with the tripod and support blocks. Very safely and efficiently done.
Couldn’t tear my eyes away!

Thank you for the suggestion!
Very nice!!
Archimedes approved.
I had thought of jacking it up also but never thought of the support beams so thanks for this informative video
You're welcome
Good setup with tripod 👍
Thanks!
wanna talk about your design ? capacity of your jack and brand ? Anything worthwhile of precaution ?
Common sense is the main precaution but I can get into specifics if you want. What would you like to know?
Thank you he literally explained nothing. Useless video of him cranking a jack.
@@chicagomrs2270 wow😂😂😂 no wonder your name has the word Chicago in it lol
Definitely looks simple enough. Awesome

Thanks so much for the video!!!! This is awesome !!!!
Good job... I will try with concrete base... Wich me god lock... 🤘

I wish you luck! 👍😅
Good job
Thanks!
Can’t do it with live roots on a tree 1/2 that size.. not in the hard ground I’m blessed with… I tried it… Nice work though
There were no roots left. Don't have a singles stump with that few or that small of roots.
the neck is definitely red on this one

@@2WildBengals Welcome, mate! If possible? Let me know how it works for you, cheers.
l am lmpressed, 💪😀
I think trees are a pain in the arse, the fewer, the better.
Good video where can i find the plans for the 2x4 tripod
2 X 4 boards, 2 each, 48" long, 3/8" hole at one end, 3/8" bolt 6" long w/ lock nut at one end. Optional 22 degree cut at dirt end.
Pretty cool
More dad kirby content
epic
Sinfully simple.
It was loose when he started. Probably could have just kicked it over.
Nah I asked him about that, he said (and basically showed me) that there were still some roots in it. Looks can be decieving with wood
I tried that. My jack bent.
Neat

Do you understand how a lever works? How can you apply force to the end of the lever?
“Rocket surgery” 😅
Cheers gordjohnson70😂 that's typical UA-cam comment everyone just groans when they read it
10000
Your not even breathing hard now try doing one twice that size.
That one was easier than most but check my more recent vid even though it's not exactly the same on it
