So did you push it down, or did it fall on its own?

If the latter, then you're lucky- in my experience, it would've fallen on the building were it my property...

Nice work anyhoo!

I put a step ladder up and got a 5/16” chain around top of trunk. Connected another long chain to 100 HP gear tractor, the one in picture. Put tractor in low range, 1st gear, at idle, about 1000 rpm, took up slack, and took entire tree down, root ball and all. Rest was ez. Used small tractor to fill hole and level.

Most of the dirt is gone. That piece is pretty light. I don’t know why you’d call it fake.

It was actually pretty heavy. It made the rear end pretty light but I didn’t have any ballast back there either.
Thanks for the compliments!

Was the 'fake' stump brought out of a burn pile? It doesn't take much weight if there's no ballast to get tippy. Best to keep whatever the load is close to the ground as possible to lower your COG.

I can make the V417 a teeter-totter with 2,500 pounds in the Monster grapple. :eek:
