Baystate Jeepers

First time using my new toy tool and I managed to get it stuck up to the front axle,
Go figure Thought I’d be used to small tires by now……
What you cannot see is the huge tree stump in the rear bucket ……

Ive never known you to give up that easy ! Guess Ill have to call Flyin Brian . FjR68

Who said anything about giving up....
I had cut the large pine tree over 10 years ago and left the 3' stump to rot... little did I know the roots stay alive....
I could almost lift it but not all the way, I had to drag it out back. I found the limits of the tractor and in the end the stump lost

Aww, I hope that wasn't the cause for the upper bucket lip bend....

Yup, I now know how much I cannot lift

Get it bent back out, and reinforce it....

BTW, you aren't having fun until your back tires are so light you can't actually turn. Instead, the tractor follows the front wheels, and the back wheels gently crab sideways over the ground, resulting in quite the amusing time...

Pines grow shallow roots , many and very wide. Glad to see you were victorious ! Thats the Dave I know ! I dont have have a tractor , you must be rich FjR68

The tires are filled with calcium plus the backhoe out back helps.
I was playing with the individual rear brakes to help turn

Think they might have a place in a YJ ? FjR68

I thought he was talking about the individual wheel brakes - like cutting brakes
