timber.jpg This live tree is where I want to put a driveway, and it overhangs the road, so I didn't want to chainsaw it.  I decided to winch it out so most of the root ball would come with it.  I also wanted to see what the winch (& 2 batteries) could do.  The winch stalled before the entire root ball came out, but I can't really say I'm disappointed.  It did more than I actually expected.  Since the draw bar was chained to a tree behind the truck, this was also a full-load test of the winch & both bumpers' mountings.

IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.
