Had a good day working the TLB

First day back in operation with "66 4500TLB since the last time I was working on this stump and it popped a hydro hose. Buck twenty five later and back in business. Ouch.

Well, today I worked the heck out of it and the stump finally let go. Tree was about 22" base where it was cut. Straight and tall, about 70".

Got the diesel running nice and hot.
Funny thing is the oil pressure actually went up 5 degrees on the original gauge. Not sure how far off gauge is. It usually goes up real quick from zero to about 65-70 and stays there. After working TLB out today it was at 75?

How long did it take to get that stump out?

Biggest I have tackled so far was three 8" stumps coming out of the same base. They split apart pretty easy and came up with the roots.

If you cut em about 5-6 feet tall you can hook em after just a little digging with the hoe and use the leverage to pop em loose.

I learned the ahrd way too.

I have found that with a backhoe it is easier to knock the tree over with the whole thing still attached. The weight of the tree helps push/pull the stump over. Then just cut the log off.
 
I agree pushing trees over is the best way to get the stumps out BUT, it is not necessarily the safest way.
This particular Eastern White pine was about 70 feet tall. The top 10 feet of within striking distance of my front door. The top 20+ feet of my neighbors house.
Personally I have a safety rule to never run a chainsaw above my waist if I can help it. Any for me never ever above my shoulders. Bad enough you have a accident and you cut your leg or your foot. Chain saw to the torso or the head I imagine not a pretty site.
The arborist/climber I use agreed it would be "nice" to cut it several feet above the ground but not safe. To do that he would have to stand on something, like my loader, or be hiked up the tree. Something goes awry and he gets hurt.
