A paw can accomplish anything with nothing if they just want to 😂

Just thought of inertia as well...the way he throws himself onto that come along.

@@wientz Inertia doesn't mean what you think it means: inertia - a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.

@@jeffreycrawley1216 A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion.

This is not a lever or a fulcrum. This is just a pulley, he didn’t even wrap the pulley properly to boost his leverage. But after digging trenches for retaining walls, god damn what he did is not easy

​@@wientzright, broken by his momentum

😂

😀

shut up woman

@@maketaco6683 I wouldn't put it that way

Videographer (midway): “That’s going to leave a big hole." Dude, my age: -> selective hearing Younger me: "Right, f--k-it…. get a bowl and enjoy your new bird-bath."

he didn't train her right. My wife is trained to know, when yard work is happening, to stay in the house. That way she ain't exposed to all that blood and the cussin' that goes along with it.

Did she go get the chainsaw for him ? Nope just talking about

I know how he filled the hole. 2 birds one stone.

Funny thing is. My wife is a farm girl. She would have had the tractor pulling that little stump out of the ground. She isn't one to sit around and have anyone do something she wants done..

This whiny generation of men 🙄 yall need to man tf up this is what me and my girl do for fun on days off what kind of man would need his fuckin wife to help him.....

I wonder if there is anything MeMaw enjoys hearing more than the sound of her own voice ? 😝

Captain Obvious to the rescue

It's a shame to be that old and that stupid

Oh no it's actually worse than that😅 Taking out the tractor will leave a bunch of deep marks in the lawn. Why he probably was using this, instead of going for the tractor as his first choice.

@@Bonde7280 Yea, but the tractor is much more fun!

Alex Sanchez I would’ve been in one and out the other with my wife.

Wife's got to go

@@David-wu7jj dang!

Shes fine sheesh, just telling him whats happening behind him, atleast shes not saying "is this going to take much longer?"

agree with you on the safety rope. I darn near killed my neighbor that way.

Yep. Have seen cables snap on off road truck stuck in mud pulls. Bunch of drunks standing around clueless to the danger. I used to carry two old cheap quilts. Wet em in the mud hole n wrap the cable. People thought i was crazy n no pull I ever did broke a cable. Came upon a group one day just as their cable snapped n lucky no drunks were injured. I pulled em out and educated em on wet quilts. Think they thought it smart.

I can’t visualize the angled rope, set up. Chain is good, for not loading up, as bad as cable.

I know it was a long time ago, but could you please elaborate? Id love to learn

billpetersen298 I think the idea with the angled rope is that you have a couple auxiliary ropes in tension that are roughly perpendicular to the load line. Their only purpose is, in the event of a sudden failure in the load line, they pull the rigging away from the lever hoist operator.

I felt it just watching him!

You have to have tried every dumb thing to be old and wise. I'd say he was a cowboy lol

Yep this'll keep a guy going

Yes that is why I'm still. 29years old

That's how final destination works

Indeed if it wasn't centered just right it might fold. Ingenious though.

Man's 830 years old. At this point that's his plan

Safe enough junior

@@aegeusmax3646 Gee, thanks Dad.

Yeah...I'd have told her to either pull the handle or be quiet! Yap yap yap slap!

A cable & ratchet is hardly ol'days technology. It's simply DIY as opposed to hiring someone with heavy equipment.

​@-108- At one time, people had to figure out things for themselves. They couldn't get on their phones, look up the nearest stump removal contractor, pay him to drive out to a remote homestead. Had to figure out a way. There is satisfaction in it.

@@zekragash4294 So... exactly what I said. Cool - I was right!

@-108- 👍 agreeing! Rather do it myself, reason why I have lots of tools. At a time when when this sort of thing was done regularly, there were no stump grinders to be hauled in by big 'ol diesel pick up truck. Not that I haven't had that done when the situation called for it. I've dug/chopped them out with a pick and an axe, also.

Can't tell them kind of jokes anymore... Someone will be butthurt by them...

@@homesteadhaven2010 Butthurt? How dare you insult the Alphabet People with such offensive terminology!

they didn't worry about those things in the 40's

That’s how you break the come-along or cable and possibly hurt yourself as well.

paw paw ain't no cheater.

@@pigbenis2812 yeah, what he did was already over the recomended load...

The handles are usually load rated- meaning they are designed to be the weak link.

​@@yaykruserWhere do you people come up with this nonsense. If a farm jack will do it, then it's good for it, until it's not.

хут Ээх

Absolutely 😂 he’s definitely done a good days labor ✌️

I've seen cables snap and whip around. You see a lot of scary stuff like that in the timber industry. Personally dynamite is more fun for stumps.

@@Klaaism or in this situation, a couple bags of grill charcoal.

You can't tell any such thing. Shut your pie hole!

Not quite correct. He is putting too much faith in his t-stick when he should be using an A-frame. That job could go sideways in a flash.

"His methods are correct". Not really. He would get more mechanical advantage if he had rigged the winch so that he was pulling AWAY from the post, not TOWARD it.

@@etherx8604 lol. He easily yanked a stump and you're sitting in your chair on KZfaq saying he did it wrong. LoL

@@crazypeoplearoundtheworld304 Are you at all interested in learning the physics? I will explain it to you.

Or a longer handle

Patience of a saint

Give that man a miller

No he can’t hear it with you running your damn mouth!

Looked like he was walking over to punch her in the mouth at the end. But Im sure he just went for the tractor. Mans a saint. Where would a man be without advice from the peanut gallery? Answer . With the divorce laws today, Alone and homeless

Sounds like teenage boy to me.

rupe53 since they don’t show anything but the gin pole and the been there done that old man at work, how do we know what he did for prep work. He’s got my respect.

@@genesnow6605 ... watch for flying dust. Wet ground doesn't make dust.

You have a valid point. I just get tired of reading comments that are negative all the time. I’m from the generation that got taught (from my mom) “If you can’t say something nice, “Don’t say anything at all”. It might just be my reaction from also having a stepfather that no mater how good I did something he would tell me and anyone in earshot I could of done better. That sounds like I have issues about it. 🤔 have a good day rupe53

@@genesnow6605 ... from the same generation here so I'll offer the side my mother mentioned next. Don't bitch unless you have a working solution. Basically my father always said to offer kind words but my mother wanted the better mouse trap with less work. I guess it's all in how you approach things when trying to be helpful.

That would have been extra work, which maybe he wanted to avoid.

What do you want the 19 year old to mess up his Man bun? C'mon Man!

@@tommyfuller103z man buns are actually the official hair style for pansies. 😂🇺🇸😎

@jimmy Burnett I don't think they know that is an option, or maybe they can't find that particular APP. 🇺🇸😎

See now there is something we can use here on our homestead. Love watching older generations ingenuity. Simple yet effective. Well done.

Old guys ! Ya got to love it

And his wife telling him that he has a mighty root:)

Wisdom, Somthing in short supply to the young at this time..

@@coreydailey4939 I don't think it has been this bad for a long while.. Our parents, grand parents etc.. Could do most tasks if needed, they respected the wisdom of their elders and even though some lived in fantasy the majority didn't... They went through hell to to survive.. Now the young think that a naughty word is the same as war, that claiming your gender is a Dragon is normal and they can not fix a tap or change a tire if needed.. They ignore their elders and leave them to rot as they only care about enjoying themsleves.. The last generation etc.. Would live simple lives and spend their money on educating their kids so that they could make big money to help their future kids and the family etc. Etc.. They didn't think their kids would just waste the money on their own pleasure and dump their parents were they didn't need to think about them.. Easy times make weak people and weak people make hard times.. We used to get around that by listening to our elders but the young have been taught to hate the old now basicly because they belive in common sense etc.. My grandmother used to keep a full pantry and I thought it was stupid as you could just buy things when you wanted...(but thank God I took enough in) I never thought about how she lived through very hard times when food was not available but I learnt enough that when I was watching Chinese news two years ago and saw the panic over there regarding the virus that I realized it would travel around the world so I filled up my pantry before the panic set in.. But even then I didn't realize how insane people would get but maybe I would have if I had taken more notice of what she said. I have been watching these college professors now spouting such insane things to the world while claiming that they must be believed and followed due to their inteligence but they have no wisdom..

I just turned 21 I always doubt an old man, especially he says with an assertive voice "I DUNNIT FOR THIRTY YEARSS DONT BE LOOKIN AROUND FOR STICK JUST REACH INNERE AND GREASE IT" But i could see the backhoe track was loose on the other end. It wasnt put on right.... this end is too straight....He jumps to it and the track falls on his arm. I ran to get help and his arms bruised but still works. Another guy 3 years later has HORRIBLE reviews to his mechanic shop, all 1 star. There was a person from every race and class angry at his work. 2 engines almost fell on me on different days. One day, he was telling me how to weld "fast" despite me laying beads and him laying SPONGES. "i been doing this job for longer than youve been alive" We agreed 12 an hour, he wanted to give me 9 an hour a week later.... He paid me nothing. Experience doesn't mean crap if youve been messing up for 30 years. For now on when i see sketchy shit i stand back. I have lots more from my factory jobs i worked at but im gonna study for my test to get into college bye.

A-frame.

Yep, that's probably how I'll die. Doing what a young me should have been doing.

He probably wedged the tire iron against the ground then pulled the wagon forward to break the nut.

He brought the impact gun@@MattJonesYT

Very good observation, thanks! Will use it next time. I can see how that would increase the force!

Plus "it's going to leave a big hole"

Could tell it wasn’t Harbor Freight.

Yeah, that single beam was bowing at one point. Had it snapped and splintered, he'd have been in a world of hurt.

Or.... duh!!

Agreed

Trees evolved to resist horizontal forces; vertical forces not so much.

Stubborness had a little help. I think I saw Determination and Strength come flying in off the top rope turnbuckle for the win!

Single men who have not learned the female language, label it as 'complaining'. In fact it was a statement of fact, therefore that also explains why you are single, because women know you are a stump not worth pulling. LOL

@@ya472 true

He could always chuck the wife in the hole, 2 birds one stone 🤣

@Large_Rooster Your single, why? Find her, ask her name, and marry her. God gave us a helper for a reason. My wife is not like the lady in this video. He could have easily told her to stop complaining, there is a reason he is silent when she is whining. That's what many men are like with their wives. Instead of being the leader they are supposed to be. Look at the result around us in society.

@@ya472 You're totally right. She is actually encouraging him, not complaining. It's actual teamwork. Doesn't have to be physical participation.

By the time you finished writing your 'How-To Booklet' he was already done.

reminds me of me and my wife!

Lol

That's funny!

Clifford Hallam , hilarious comment mate 😂

😂 funny!

That just was Wong

Frank Em hahaha. That made my night

And....he is 45 years old

He's probably got a useless Kubota BX like I do. Nothing but a glorified lawnmower with minimal sub cat 1 hydraulics. I had to pull six stumps out this spring by hand because that tractor didn't have enough strength to even help me pull them, never mind do the work for me. Only thing I would have done different for this guy is drape something heavy over the cable and chain so in case it breaks it can't lash back at him.

Farmers are tough people who deal with backbreaking labor all the time. I used to help my grandpa haul hay; he had wire-tied bales. They must have weighed at least 100 pounds. But they lifted them up on the wagon and over their heads when the stack got higher all day long! They were tough guys!

@@stevenrobertson4470 yeah they dont square bale light with wire, only twine bales are 20-80lb, wire bales are heavy

Yep, you could see it had him 'ah huffin' and 'ah puffin', but that ain't easy for a seasoned citizen. I know 'cause I be one.

Great idea. The reason I did it that way was that I anchored to the base of a near by tree and the come along would be pretty close to the ground, but I see that it could be arranged as you suggest. Paul

The beam creats the lift and ads leverage

I was going to write this, but obviously this is pretty old video. also, flipping the direction, put you further away from the stump. and facing the stump, you can see what is happening without constantly looking over your shoulder.
