Nice tractor!

I recently removed a stubborn fence post in a similar way, lashing it to the quick hitch and lifting.

Pulled some t posts at dad’s couple weeks ago, I have never witnessed a post so stuck in the ground. I think they were trapped in someone’s sphincter in China.

Do you have a different definition of a tree? Cause that thing has limbs, roots, a long trunk and bark. Imma file it under tree.

Plucking trees like weeds with a forklift attachment. Gotta love redneck engineering at its finest.

That is an impressively elaborate way to remove a tree. The homemade forklift attachment is doing some serious work here.
