Stump Pulling 

I was thinking the same thing. They should've had a heavy blanket or even a chain over the cable to act as shock absorber if the cable parted. I've seen winch cables snap, whip back, and cut sheet metal like butter. I don't think a jacket would offer any more protection.

2 ways to learn f it up, or watch someone else f it up before you.

I wish I would have bought it when offered, Damn the wife said NO!!!

yup right in the kill zone.

How strong is the winch on the side hes using?

@@yaykruser It is only meant as a self-recovery winch, not to be used to recover other vehicles.

@@mitchstallings7196 Well, yes, but how many tons is it? Im looking to buy a 5ton chain hoist to remove stumps like this but wonder if the winch in the Video is stronger than that.

@@yaykruser it's a 20K winch so 10 tons ,, i have one on my 977 and it works great for stump removal ,,a good pull on the chain with the truck works better , it's amazing how much pulling power that truck can produce ,,the truck i own has a much bigger engine and an 18 speed transmission instead of the 5 speed automatic the army issue trucks have

real nice truck

No one is interested in your opinion. Lad

@@rootpass74 wanna bet. ever seen any of your friends dead from a work accident yet?

Straddling, and I agree.

yep. But the perfect vehicle for this type of work. Got to admit that.

funny you should say that because i actually built a travel trailer that i can pull with my machine ,,this is the most capable offroad machine i have ever seen anywhere

NO

You don’t need the greatest leverage with one of these lol

@@jayquick6520 That has nothing whatsoever to DO with it. One should always use Best Practices based on the immutable tenets of science, rather than keep track of which jobs to do half-assed and which to do correctly.

@@adamchurvis1 incorrect… Because of leverage. The top is also the weakest part. Has a higher probability of breaking and sending a chain at mach ten into a bystander or your equipment. I made a light hearted joke originally and you not only go all bill nye the science guy on me but are completely incorrect.. The answer is to use equipment and practices that result in safe work environments. Choking up on the stump is not the right answer. The right answer is hiring a company with stump grinders to come in. Not call uncle Bobby down with his army truck and pay him in beer and bbq.

@@jayquick6520 Yes, on deeper thought based on what you've just said, I see that you are clearly right and that I was entirely wrong. I genuinely appreciate your correction, sir. Ironically, we just had some large trees removed and then had a professional stump grinder finish the job. Perhaps in future I will not take my mechanical cues from the movie "Shane." :)

@@adamchurvis1 you’re a breath of fresh air my friend. Happy holidays.

I work on my own. What issues do you have?

@@68gt500man couple of issues. The first issue is that I have to bypass the fuel/water separator unit because it does not want to start up if it's connected. If I bypass it, engine starts. Second issue is that the crane is not working .. I'm thinking its an electrical issue

@@carlosaleman1 Try replacing the filter in the Fuel/water sep. Is the PTO switch lighting up when on?

@@68gt500man I forgot to mention... But yes I did replace the unit... And the PTO light does not light up... I'm thinking it might be a fuse.. But I don't know the location of that box. I'm thinking it's the box between the driver and the passenger. But I don't know if those are fuses in there..

@@carlosaleman1 There are no fuses. They are all circuit breakers under the panel between the seats.

Show of hands. Who clicked on this video expecting to see this beast take a house off its foundation. (Raises hand)

@@superdave8248 just so you know that thing will pull the house down and not sweat ,, i know because i have done it ,,it's amazing how much power that machine has ,,i own one myself that's a bit older but has a lot more power than standard and i have removed 3 foot stumps just with brute force

Relax Karen!

When was the last time you saw a military owned truck with personalized plates?

Our government for the people has given Billions to other countries and law enforcement, Therefore the citizens should benefit some also.
