Default Wife asked for some help with the yard work

When she asked me, "Can you dig this plant out?", I asked her "You want it completely gone?"....When she said yes, I knew it was Big Toy Time!

Oh man, this has "hold my beer and watch this" written all over it! I think that strap and that window are going to get intimate!

Oh boy..I did this with my truck too! I pulled out 3 Alberta Spruce trees with a strap around the base of the trees. We replanted them in a new location and they are still alive today after being ripped out of the ground with my f150.

I used to do this all the time for my Grandmaw. Easiest way to do yard work, ever.

The strap is a one of those stretchy ****** straps and it is rated to 15,000lbs. I could pull my house down with it. I hooked it up, took up the slack and the truck just idled the bush right out of the ground in 2WD. No sweat.
