Great demonstration, thanks. I'm in the US - my British father in law gave me a farm jack that looks just like yours. Tomorrow I hope to pull out an unwanted sapling. Much appreciated!
Good job! As a fellow “vintage age man”, I can DEFINITELY understand the use of knee pads! Most youngsters won’t understand, but they will in a few years!!😂
not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my girlfriend these days xD
This is fantastic tool, ive just too down all my front hedges and left with the roots, will for invest in this. Your video are great for showing me how to use it thanks again
@@RussellPlatten My farm jack comes in the post tomorrow. I will also make a video dedicated to you and my friend who is a master gardener. I'll let you know when it makes it to video.
In Alaska. Cottonwood is on notice👍💯edit. It's 120 in the morning, but since it's Alaska and the summer it's still light I'm going outside right now to just see how well it works with one very irritating brushy cottonwood!
@@RussellPlatten Okay thanks Russ. You mentioned bowline knot in vid. So you tie the shrub with a slipknot then make a bowline and hook with to the jack. Okay make sense
@@johndriller8152 I place the two loose ends of the rope through the bend at the other end (the bit that I put around the back of the plant) to make a slip knot. Then tied the bowline with the two loose ends to attach it to the jack. :-)
Not really, the size depends on what you are wanting to achieve with it, mine is 48". I would look at reviews and price and make a decision based on what looks best for the money. :-)
You kept putting your head in the danger zone between the handle and the jack post while cranking during lifting. Very bad practice. Always operate the cranking standing in front of the handle not the side. If your hand would have slipped you may not be alive today.

Great tool, and a very good explanation and demo. Thanks for posting Russell. Always enjoy your videos, you always give a very comprehensive review.
Cheers John, I appreciate your comment! :-)

Hey Russ. Love your videos. Debs ( South Africa)
LOL - Now then stranger! I hope you are all well over there. :-)
Russell Platten All good over here. Expected to see you in full PPE gear waging war on the corona!
@@deborahbensch9887 Pretty well isolated over here. We are taking it very seriously though! :-)
Awesome! Love you man! Made my life a whole lot easier!!!!!!!!!
Glad I could help Adrian! :-)
Nice demonstration. Probably would have helped to trim the bush a little first so you better access the base.
Such a good idea!
It makes life much easier. Especially when you have a few years behind you! ;-)
I like your doing this in your slippers to show how easy
LOL - Boat shoes John! :-)
Bravo man!
:-)
GOOD JOB ! just bought one
It is a handy tool. :-)

I hope it does the trick Lisa! :-)
Nice one Russell :-)
Hi Russ, hope all is well up there! :-)
Thanks very much
You are welcome! :-)
Great video I had a go myself but the rope kept slipping. Any ideas on how to fix this? cheers
Use a slip knot John and pull it up tight around the base before connecting it to the jack. :-)

Great video and great idea.
Although for a second, I thought this was a travellers ‘call out’ video for a ‘fair go’ 😅
LOL
Any particular farm jack do you recommend? Or size?

good job~
:-)
No need to apologise Russell got to keep cool
I know, not used to this type of weather! :-)
@@RussellPlatten i dont do heat more of a snow and minus temperatures man
@@KnugenMooMoo The best holidays we have had have been in sub zero temperatures with snow and ice. Mind you, I do like the sun! :-)
Ah, wife asked! I know the feeling...
LOL. I do love her tough!! :-)
