Re: [MBZ] Brush removal
Safety note: Remember when pulling with a tractor to hook LOW on the tractor and only to an approved pull point. LOTS of farmers have been killed when a tractor pivoted on the rear wheels and rolled over. Even with ROPS you're going to get quite a knock if it rolls. This is especially true on dry ground, if the ground is wet the tractor will lose traction before it rolls. I've had the front wheels of the tractor leave the ground before, had my foot hovering over the clutch so I could bring it down but things got sketchy... -Curt On Wednesday, September 9, 2020, 4:50:49 PM EDT, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: I just use a log chain.

Re: [MBZ] Brush removal
This, but you need a large diameter rim (remove the tire). The rim translates the pulling force to a lifting force. The bigger the rim diameter and the closer you get it to the stem, the greater the lifting force. The 'U' profile of the rim contains and guides the chain, won't slip off the side of the rim. Also very effective for uprooting wooden power and telephone poles, should the need arise.

Re: [MBZ] Brush removal
I never had any luck with those choker things. Usually they just slid up skinning the branches. You can bend the loader with too much asymmetric load. Not something you want. A tractor is not a bulldozer. You can load up the draw bar all you want. Be more cautious with the 3-point but it's cheaper to fix a 3-point than a loader. If you put a cross bar between the 3-point lower arms it makes a decent way to lift and pull. If you have strong roots nothing beats a ripper. > -Original Message- > From: Mercedes [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of > Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes > Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2020 5:15 PM > To: Mercedes Discussion List > Cc: Kaleb Striplin > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Brush removal > > I figure maybe I could use the FEL to lift up while pulling back. > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Sep 9, 2020, at 3:50 PM, G Mann via Mercedes > wrote: > > > > I just use a log chain.

Re: [MBZ] Brush removal
We had one [marlinspike] on the farm, and now that I look it up it's clearly meant for working on larger-diameter steel logging cable.

Re: [MBZ] Brush removal
I learned this one when we bought our first house. Early 60s red brick ranch home. POs had let the evergreens that surrounded the house grow out of control for years, so no amount of trimming would have made them viable. I was digging one of them out one day when a coworker came by. He was a farm boy by birth and knew how to deal with stuff like this. “Why are you wasting your time with a shovel, man?” He gets into the 3/4 ton Chevy 4WD pickup I drove for work, backs it up in front of the offending shrubbery, wraps a chain around it and the hitch, drops it into low and 4WD and just pops the clutch. Large evergreen popped out of the ground, roots and all, like a cork that had been submerged in water. Nice. An hour later we had the whole front of the house cleared out. -D > On Sep 9, 2020, at 4:49 PM, G Mann via Mercedes wrote: > > I just use a log chain.
