I helped my mom landscape the yard this way, except I pulled the bush then came back with a shovel and dug under the roots and my mom would be lifting the root ball with the shovel while I pulled it out with my truck...its all you can do when you don't have a guy around to help you. This is brilliant, work smarter not harder.
be careful using chain if it breaks the metal becomes a deadly projectile. My friend was killed from this. He was in the military and trying to tow heavy equipment out of mud. The chain was as thick as my fist, but it broke, and a piece hit him in the neck. Pretty much took off his head. Using a small chain like this on a bush isn't as dangerous, but you don't want your kids sitting near by.
You have to place a large diameter object between the strap and the ground right up on the base of the bush. This will pull the bush up and out when you drive away in the truck.
The truck... i've seen people break their back window doing that when the chain or cable snapped back. Wish I didn't give away my engine lift, that's actually not a bad idea, especially when you have a bunch to pull.
Great video, helped a lot. I was wondering, do you know (or anyone else) know a safe and/or easy way to remove a multiflora rose bush? Or can the same techniques used in this video be done to a multiflora rose bush?
well, that was entertaining that is fir sure, when pulling a shrub if you wrap the strap 2-3 times at the base it wont slide off so easy, also if you put a towel or floor mat in the middle of the Chain/ strap, it will not fly up and do damage to the car if it brakes but should go under it.. just some tips.. I do like the idea of the craine, I will have to try that, never done it that way before.
I know of a guy who tried the chain trick on a tree stump, it broke the ball off of the hitch which flew off and hit his son in the head and killed him. Make sure you attach the chain to the frame. Sad story.
If you’re going to pull a stump (or anything particularly heavy) with a truck, use a chain! If a chain breaks it’ll fall to the ground, not fly through your back window like a strap of cable. I knew a guy that got killed by a cable flying through his trick window trying to pull a stump.
My bushes are not easy to get to. trunks as big as small trees. In my back yard that's not very accessible to machinery. The 2" limbs have gone thru and way over the wire fencing = 2 problems. Getting them from the back to the front loader is going to be very difficult. Any suggestions? I should make a video!
I saw a guy do that with the engine puller on a little tree next to his house. He wrapped the chain around the bottom and started pulling it up, next thing I knew the whole side of his house was gone. He wrapped the chain around the gas pipe and the tree base. LOL
Hes that guy on your street...every street has one. Method three however is good, not necessarily an engine hoist but Fulcrum pulling has been done forever.
yeah nice, but at the stump that I ripped with it I would much hazel and the car could do neither. Walnut stump 55 inches in diameter. Excavators dug it but although it was the end, I finally broke him self with recovery tank VT-55. Pulling power winch to 100 tons, so it was not a problem. VT.55: V12 engine, 40 liters, 580 hp, weight 42 tons. Diesel consumption: 250-1150 l / 100km. Pulling force main winch 100 t max over 2 pulleys. Rope diameter of 1.5 inches
Good video for people to watch what they should not do. 1. Tie the stump around 3 time for better grip. 2. Pulling from front truck are stronger because of weight ratio. 3. Pulling a bush right by front house can be risk of pulling out water sprinkle pipe or electric wire. Check it first. I pulled a pine tree stump out with truck like your by using the front. There a hook on some front bumper.
My husband and I tried it. This is a BS do it with a holly Bush of almost 40 years. We ended up with a broken window and a massive dent in our truck tailgate. You shouldn't be allowed to show that video
this is a great video on all the ways not to remove a bush lol
I know I am kinda randomly asking but do anyone know of a good website to watch new tv shows online?
@Melvin Reuben lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

Yeah this was painful to watch..hell I even keep the dog in the house or truck w me. People have no idea how fast shit can go south
You have to place a large diameter object between the strap and the ground right up on the base of the bush. This will pull the bush up and out when you drive away in the truck.
Lesson learned from this video...YOU CAN`T FIX STUPID!!!!!!!!
seems like fat guys crocs and dumb go good together
Texan Online hey you leave crocs out of this equation
Lol. I love how you drive the shrub down the street. Lol
My grandfather used dynamiter. Of course, you could get dynamite at your local hardware store in his day. Awesome vid.
The engine lift method was the best. It really removed all the roots.
The truck... i've seen people break their back window doing that when the chain or cable snapped back. Wish I didn't give away my engine lift, that's actually not a bad idea, especially when you have a bunch to pull.
Now that's what I call 'extreme gardening'!
The best way is to wind the chain as tight as you can around the base, go slow to lock the links together, then pull.
Should have trimmed some of the bottom twigs and then used a spading fork to loosen up the roots by digging the fork around the shrub.
Looks like my Bobcat should pull this off, was wondering about the root ball.

Fun until you pull a tree with roots grown around a water line, gas line

3:36 Wife : Oh, no hold on! Your chain came unhooked
call a tow truck company and see if they do stump removal. its cheap, very fast, not to mention they can sit it down on a trailer to be hauled off.
I can't believe he backed into that bush with the tailgate down and wrecked it like that. What was he thinking or I guess why wasn't he thinking?
Dave Brittain tailgate was bent long before this video , so wasn't really gonna hurt it any more
was the top of your tailgate bent before you backed into it?
Why on earth would you destroy a beautiful boxwood instead of trimming it??

that's a nice green shrub why get rid of it? just trim it.

Ctcc73 hahaha omg!
that's a nice green shrub why get rid of it? just trim it.now look what u did to ur grass.
this is funny as heck
he said fuck a farm jack just fuck it ill use my truck lol
Looked good where it was just needed trimming
So many of these shrub removal videos show people remove healthy expensive shrubs only to replace them with something ordinary.
@smurfmobile8586 Our neighbor loved watching and even gave up some ideas!
Hes that guy on your street...every street has one. Method three however is good, not necessarily an engine hoist but Fulcrum pulling has been done forever.
Note: Only use this method if you have a crappy truck and you don't care about driving all over your grass.
well we are in the south!
+Christine Chisholm Side note: People who look like they drive Hyundai's shouldn't make uneducated comments about vehicles.
Why didn't you just leave it and prune it. It was a nice bush.
yeah nice, but at the stump that I ripped with it I would much hazel and the car could do neither. Walnut stump 55 inches in diameter.

I used my 4x4 to pull out a couple shrubs.....then I noticed the sprinkler system lines came up too.....
You guys are pro....wanna come and do my yard? I'll provide the beer.
Personally I like the video where he uses a hydraulic lift. I will try it that way. May save the truck and the grass.
Dodge dakota V8?
will this ruin your truck?

What do you have for wheel and tire combo setup? if you dont mind
Cragar Soft 8 , 15x8 with 275/60R15 tires on back
@@oellrichm Thanks man, all around? they look sick!
Bak in my day.... we used to think dynamite was a firecracker......
Engine hoist works every time.
Get a run at it.. a sure way to break something,, some people's kids..
Cameraman trying to die at 4:15
Looks like he took it straight to the dump
At least you used an appropriate sized truck..
I did this with my quad.
59 people broke their back using a shovel
Was hoping this could show how-to from PAST experience, not CURRENT VIDEO experience.
I meant R/T 5.9L ?
@fatsachs yeah about 1/2 to 1 gal right at the base
Funny as hell
now I'm gonna nag my boss for a engine lift
Some people really will do anything to avoid a little manual labor. Message of this video? Don't hire a lard ass in clogs to do landscaping.
finally got dum dar bush out dat dare yard ruts and all.
Gotta love imagination
effective..
Ford would have done it first try
Its was 5.9 in this video, There wasn't an R/T option for 1993, mine was 5.2 originally, now its a 5.9 stroked to 426''
@fatsachs Diesel Fuel will do the trick, they will be brown in a few days
Men wear clogs???????
My husband and I tried it. This is a BS do it with a holly Bush of almost 40 years. We ended up with a broken window and a massive dent in our truck tailgate. You shouldn't be allowed to show that video
You're to high lol had you tired lower you'd a won!
Wow... talk about a bunch of tools...
Ha! A Jeep would do it even better lmbo
Need chains
One word...DOLT.
R/T 5.9
ROFLMAO
lol
bunch of jokers

Would have been quicker to dig it out lol
