Small tractors doing big work.

Found this going through some pictures on my phone. A professional excavator that I know was telling me a technique he used to take down trees so I gave it a try.
I Dig around three sides of tree. Then I pile dirt on top of the fourth side. Then I push the tree over on top of the pile of dirt and it pops the stump out.
It kind of works but my machine is kind of small for that.

It takes a big machine to just push trees over but with techniques like the one above a small machine can get the job done on a very small scale.

I have a 20 hp Jenma (Nortrac) that I bought in 2006 to cut, rake and bale hay 10 acres using a rebuilt JD-9 sickle bar, a 70's era side discharge rake and an international 47 baler. I use a home made spray rig made with a roller pump, 55 gallon drum and what's left of an international spray boom. I brushhog another 10 acres that isn't hayed with it. All of my equipment cost less than $1000 because nobody else wanted it.
