I live in Hawaii and I had to dig up a large avocado tree stump but the roots grew into solid rock. A good tip to help get the tree out is to use a sawzall and cut any big roots that the machine can’t break. A root that has a 5” diameter will add about 10,000 lbs of break out force so cutting it makes a big difference when trying to get it loose.
@RockhillfarmYT 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for sharing This stump weighs about 5000 pounds. This machine still struggled to pull it out after all the roots were cut and I can’t even pick it up with my skid steer
@ern48 Жыл бұрын
You got that stump out! The first thing I do is always work as much of the dirt off the stump roots as possible. Maybe not in your case but sometimes the dirt weighs as much as the stump, either way it will make it easier.

Digging around the tree before cuttung the tree down allows you to use the trees top weight to up end the tree. You can rock the tree back and forth until it falls down using your digger and then cut the tree up. That method has worked for me while I was clearing the land for the new house.

Just imagine how fast those Egyptians could have been erecting the Pyramids if they had the use of hydraulic lifters and fluid. Amazing how such a small/medium size machine can do so much heavy work. I want to rent one just to play with it.
