Tom, I got a feeling that you are determined to do the job yourself, so go ahead and flirt with disaster if you must. At least it will be rewarding to do a tough job with inadequate equipment. Back in the early 50s I pulled pine tree stumps with a Ford jubilee, that had tap roots up to 9ft long,after we dug around them of course.(lots of them known as fatlitterd) I would pull from a drawbar between the lift arms, and keep your foot on the clutch at all times so you can prevent the front end from getting too high, you can slip the clutch and let the lift lever down. These days I would tie an old tire in between, and sling shot them out. Some turkeys want us to play it safe while they jump into their SUVs, fasten the seat belts, then try to run us down in the parking lot, as they head off down the road at a hundred and ten. If they get hurt its the auto mfgs. fault. So I say go for it, just remember to have your insurance payed up. A little double indemnity won't hurt anything. Good luck, let us know when you get the job completed. alvinnms
