Okay guys and gals, I can't believe I have to add a "please read" to a simple video, but here goes: NO, THIS STUMP IS NOT AS EASY AS IT APPEARS. We didn't just pick the skinniest, most pathetic little stump to try this out on, despite many comments suggesting so. As I stated in the video, if you chose to turn the sound on, I already pulled out what I could with the truck (97 Chevy K3500 4 door, with hay on the back for extra traction) and this was one of the ones the truck just could not extract on her own, even in 4-Low. Honestly, do you really think I'd want to ask my hubby for help and dick around with a big heavy wheel if I could just pop them out effortlessly? Really?
For you "tough guys" who believe I must have been "doing it wrong" because I'm a girl or because Chevy trucks suck or because you have a complex, spare me the tale and just come up here and prove it. Honest, I will invite you up here, you can laugh at the tiny little stubbly tree stumps and brag about how easily your dickmobile can pull out a stump 12947848x bigger, and then you can hook up to the stump and turn 50 shades of red as your truck slips and shimmies and spins on the gravel instead of pulling the stump. Truly. These itty bitty trees have strong, flexible roots, firm soil, and slippery bark. I wish I was kidding; if they were easy to yank, my whole field would be stumpless by now!
*** Also worth noting - WE DID NOT LOG THE PROPERTY.***
It was logged before we purchased it in 2017. If it had been us, we would have only thinned the trees for optimal health and fire safety, and we would have cut them in such a way that would have made stump removal easier. While we don't plan to entirely re-forest it, we do plan to plant more trees once the grass has had a chance to take root.
To everyone else: THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!! :) :)
