Nice. I've been mowing and weed wacking around a stump for at least a couple years now. Finally decided do something with it recently. Loaded up the trailer with implements of destruction and headed out. When I got there I gave it a good kick and the damn thing keeled and rolled into the side of the trailer.

All this time and the dang thing was just sitting on top of the grass, root structure totally rotted out below. So that one was no fun

 

Speaking of towing... I know you guys like a lot of the same Youtube channels that I do. This guy is pretty cool... he has a towing business down in Southern Utah. I like watching how he gets some of these vehicles unstuck.

Better to kick the stump than kick the bucket, LOL.

I had a similar experience, although this tree only had about a 3 inch trunk. I took my Explorer in the back yard and went to hook a chain around it. SOB tipped over while I was putting the chain around it, LOL.

 

Well dang I've got two stumps in my front yard that have been cut for 2-3yrs... wonder if they will come right up my luck, probably not!

1 stump was cut as close to the ground as possible (pine tree that was blocking view of the road and sidewalk when backing out, safety hazard) noticed this year while mowing some roots have now surfaced.

2. Bradford pear tree (horrible trees that split like crazy and smell bad too; I won't tell you what my coworkers nicknamed them lol) half fell on our house so we had the rest taken down. Stump was about 4ft high so I played around with chainsaw carving and carved our last initial out of the tree. This is the first year I didn't notice a ton of new sprouts while mowing.

 

Cool channel, I'll have to check him out. I like watching recovery shows/videos.

 

2100, here is one where he moves an old RV for a guy that is telling him ho to do it through the whole process. I woulda busted this guy in the grill.

 

Those high jacks are nuts. How the rock crawlers use them is crazy. There used just as much for pushing as lifting and it just looks wrong.

With all the warnings on everything now high jacks should come with one saying, "This tool is designed for old, fearless farmers who are willing to try anything no matter how insane it may be."

 

It's 2019 so how can anyone with any interest in doing their own automotive repairs not own a fault scanner? What was once a couple of hundred dollars for a base model is now less than $20. I don't get it. IMO, good tools were always the best investment in a vehicle.

 

Looks like they have a second home now lol.

I use to watch the big Rotator vids on NFlix and the Tube as well. Those are pretty cool.

 

I think I paid 90 bucks for my little Actron. I think Harbor freight was the first to offer a ridiculously cheap scanner...scary cheap. But I guess they worked good enough.
