Heck yes! with all of those soft branches to distribute the load it shouldn't be any problem.

If it doesn't release the parking brake and try again. :handgestures-thumbupright:

I predict you will pull that conifer at a slight down hill angle at 2,000 rpm with no trouble at all while sipping an adult beverage........:beer:

I don't think he can even jiggle it. He will be hooked on too high which will take weight off the tractor.

The tree likely weighs +2000 lb. and the best he can pull is about 1000 lb. with a low hitch. Add some front weight and might pull 1200 lb. if the traction is there.

 

I just pulled a 16'" Maple stump and it took all of 30,000 pounds to do it using a C-120 8-speed in 1st gear low range just off an idle. Used a cable in a set of 4 blocks which is pulling on a 2nd set of 4 blocks tied to the stump.

Good mechanical advantage. :handgestures-thumbupright:

The trick is getting it moving; if you hook dead in line you may well be doomed, but if you hook it off to the side a bit it will be swinging and rolling over while you build up momentum. I've done this a few times before and once it is moving you are in charge.

You may be able to get a "before pic" from Google earth, Google maps or Microsoft Maps.  Microsoft seems to have some good birds eye views compared to others.

What can I say, you got to love those Canadians. Garry - respect, feel like I let the rest of you down but I couldn't move it a millimetre, did the :wh: wiggle and everything ( I could almost hear scotty saying 'you canny change the laws of physics') so round one went to the tree.

Took the saw to it, cut off five / six ft plus the brush (see pic)  looped my trusty baler string on....seconds out, round two.

Anybody brave enough to have another punt?

 I'll be back same time tomorrow.  :):)

  I see the baler string survived !  That's one thing on the farm that has more uses ( besides holding bales together ) than any other thing . It's crazy when I think about it what we used it on to get you out of a pinch , but it's still there years later still doing its job . Like I said farmer engineering at its best . The tree may have one the first battle , but I  guarantee it won't win the war !  :wh: horse power will always win out :auto-layrubber:!
