Puling TREES with a Tractor~Mahindra 4540 can handle it!

Impressive stump removal technique! The machines made it look so easy

Great demonstration and good tips! I think pulling them out is probably the better way to do it, we pushed over a couple with our truck, which worked out fine, but we had to be very careful not to run over the root system when it popped out of the ground, or risk them getting caught up in the undercarriage. This way keeps the vehicle (truck or tractor) out of harms way, for the most part.

Awesome work Hank! That beast made quick work of those trees. Thanks for all of the tips and demonstrations, take care!

I usually pull trees from the rear of my tractor. That way I take advantage of the lugs on the tires. For little trees like those no problem backing up and pulling from the front. Love my Mahindra 6110

Honestly, I think that the smartest option would be to connect a shorter chain to the 2 hooks, and then the longer chain in the middle of that chain to the tree. My fear would be that putting a heavy load on 1 side of the bucket like this can end up bending something. Just my opinion. But, this does give me a good starting point.

Loved that video, it reminded me of when we cleared the land for the Apple trees, it's fun pulling out trees!!!

I grunt just sitting down. That chainsaw holder looks dandy. Florida has a lot of sandy soil, unlike our Texas clay-ish soil. Those trees had no chance but the great tip on coloring the hook chains to keep from losing them. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Good tip on the chain double wrap and painting the hooks. Nice to see you haul the branches like us grapple-less folks have to! LOL

Just wanted to tell you again thanks for the info about that canopy I enjoy mine tremendously other than scraping my head one time getting up too fast not remembering about the screws but other than that it definitely helps the heat from getting you so bad so once again thanks

I started painting all my tools pink. It work great , especially on job sites where tools “walk off” by themselves. Turns out no guy wants to steal a pink shovel 😂

If you double wrap your chain around the tree and hook it back in to the chain it won’t slide up on the tree like it did on ya. Love your content.

Hank, thanks for this info. Here in Texas, my main opponent is mesquite. If you know mesquite, it is El Diablo of trees - noxious! If you do not get the main root trunk removed, and you just snap off the trunk and stems at or above the ground, it WILL resprout, only with a vengeance. If removing many trees on a lot of land, tugging them out with a tractor, unless you have the time and patience, is futile - most ranchers hire out excavator grubbers to do this work - expensive! But what I have learned from RU-vidrs is to push the tree (whatever kind) gently forward with the bucket, not until is snaps, but to get it to move in the dirt. Then wrap the chain as you did, twice around, so it is like a choker. Then, use an old truck or tractor wheel, placed up against the trunk, and lay the chain in the rim's groove. It is now a pulley, and the initial chain tugging will be more vertical. Very effective! Oh, and use the drawbar to attach to the tractor - the loader is not made for skidding and tugging, at least with mesquite, yaupon, and locust, which have nasty tap roots. Keep it up, Brother! Blessings!

Hank good job and nice video. A couple of points for reference, tractors are designed to pull (forward) lots of weight. You also gave better gearing ratios for traction and pulling in forward. You do have a few extra tricks with the FEL which you addressed that you will not not have with the 3ph. One thing you may wish to add to a chain would be a ‘slip’ hook which would slip on the chain to tighten on the truck. They are fairly common in logging operations

Hpw not to pull them out First wrap the chain so it chokes as you pull no need for double wraps. Also pulling with one hook on one side is bad use both hooks show the bucket isnt strained

Another way to hook the chain is to wrap once or twice, then run the hook end over the lead or long end , then hook it back to the hook end creating a loop around the chain . It will cinch down. Good videos!

I could seriously watch tractor videos all day long! I'm 12 mo away from buying one... You n I talked about it in my livestream a few weeks back...

Nice work. you will find that lifting a tree like a hurricane or tornado helps get it free. Simple old but strong tire rim to roll the chains up and toward the tractor make a huge difference.

as a boy we cleared several fields - cut the trees off at 3 or 4 ft use slip hook wrap twice and hook up higher gives you more leverage we easily did trees larger than ones you showed with a 21 HP "popping Johnny"

Wet the ground around the tree and wrap the chain around the tree. Strap bucket against tree. Then lift it straight up out of the ground. You can get a 6 inch thick tree. Any bigger than that you will have to dig it out.

Great tractor tips and video like always and another tip i would give on deeper trees is to use the rear of the tractors 3 point the 2 lower arms and short chain it and use the 3poin lift it does give you much leverage

The worst thing you can do is pull with the loader. You should always pull with the rear hitch.

One thing about Mahindra, they live up to their reputation, push more, pull more, lift more. Their a great tractor.

You made short work of that job! Good video brother! ✌🏻️🌲🌲🌲

Painted my chain fluorescent orange, no more wandering around looking for it, lol. Great video! 👍

Good job, worked out fine. ♡

Why not pull from the rear of the tractor? You are less likely to damage your loader arms. If you are using your bucket for anything robust, put a chain between your hooks and hook another chain to that so the pressure is equal on both loader arms. Pulling only in one side might bend your loader.

That Mighty Mahindra snatched them up. I think it could have pulled up all 3 at one time. Tomorrow I am taking up about 7 bushes in this red GA clay. I'm not sure I can do it. My loader lift is 1600#, 3 pt 1,800 #s but these Azaleas and boxwoods are about 4-5" round and the root system spreads wide. I'm gonna try using my rippers on the Boxblade, hook and pull. Thanks for the tips.😜 Mark.

Nice video Hank!! With all that sweat I would've thought that you had pulled out the trees instead of the Mahindra lol 😆💪🚜

Awesome 👍 video that Mahindra has the power and so close to 2000 sub's your channel is almost there great job on the channel.

Heyhey Hank my boys call those noises DAD NOISES. LOL

Looks fun.

Pulling is the best in My humble opinion.! 🤔

I like the chainsaw holster on the tractor!

Do you have your diameters confused with your circumferences???🤪anyway that’s a good looking canopy!

Enjoyed the video. Very informative and instructive.

sweetbeef my mahindra dealers throughout my state run hytrans when they change tranny fluids on the mahindra products they sell. its what they have on hand and is cheaper than mahindra tractor fluid. there is a product at fleet farm called farm rated tractor tranny and hydraulic fluid for 35 bucks for 5 gallon pale. whats ur thoughts missery

Great video and tips Hank

Congrats on almost 2K followers. Wow. Any advice? we have seemed to stalled around 800. Even if we make 1000, I’ll never reach the time requirements. It’s a slow road for sure.

Backhoe attachment works pretty good for removing trees, said Capt. Obvious.

Thank you for the for your video 👌🇨🇦

Yee haw.

put a "slip' hook on one end of your chain will grab small trees much better (dad was a logger)

Hey Hank! Great job on the video! I noticed the bottom of your bucket is bent. Do you recall how that happened? Do you believe the bucket metal to be sturdy enough?

Great video brother.

Yes, I can relate to the grunting part. Haha.

Great video! I just signed papers on mine yesterday. Hoping for delivery today. What problems have you had with your Mahindra? Do you think it will last 15 years?

Ever thought about adding remotes on back with hydrolic multiplier for a scraper blade?

I'm wanting to know why your 40hp struggles less than my 50 but it's because you live in Florida and I live in upstate SC and it's alright red clay..... but these Mahindra's are something else

I noticed that dead snag came right out.

A strong tractor. Good idea to paint tools and implements orange, I guess this is why there are orange tractors. An orange tractor is easier to find. Thanks for posting this video. You need a wood chipper.

Always pull from the back

What about a tree puller attachment on that loader? Would love to see the size of trees that 4540 tractor would pull out.

Mr. Hank. I'm going to be cutting brush in a field for a client. There are pine saplings about 4' tall. Weeds 5' tall. 3 acres around an Estate home. How high should my cutter be? Thanks Mark.

No need for music hank as lots of us subscribers love hear machinery STARTING up and WORKING

Wish my stumps I need moved were smaller like that. I am letting them decompose.

Where did you get your camo Mahindra cap I have looked all over for fora hat like that love the videos keep them coming

You sweating like Elvis!

I guess I should of watched further you did exactly that.

What do you do with deep rooted trees like oaks?

Rip tree plant 😭😭

Careful if that chain snaps right back at you...

It’s dayed….

probably could have put bucket into ground and used Hydralics to push tree away from tractor!

Those are twigs not trees lol

I don’t I think u need a Massey Ferguson tractor to do it

Why didn’t you just push the the trees over and haul them off.

Never, never, never use a a chain or cable to pull anything fixed. If it breaks, your dead, or worse! Simply dig a hole on one side, raise your bucket as high as it will and push on the side opposite the hole. If you need to pull, buy a woven nylon sling. Chain is not for stressing. Read a book if you don't believe me. Your teaching others to do something dangerous, and really not smart.
