Uprooting a tree using a 45 to 1 pulley system

- This is part 2 of my project to remove a back leaning tree. This tree needed to be removed in this manner. I am pouring a cement slab right where this tree was. Using a chain saw or even digging it out would not have completely removed the roots. Not removing the roots (over time) would decay and cause the ground to sink.

What is your equipment rated and what is the weakest link?
here after destin's snatch block
”Give me a lever long enough, and I will yank a big-ass tree outa the ground”
Purchased this to replace a guide pulley
The squeeking is either some unhappy ball bearings in one of them pulleys, or the tree urgently exclaiming that it never got an an eviction notice and doesn't recognise the law of man.
The amount of lateral force that trunk sustains while not snapping off, is amazing.
Did anyone else think he was gonna pull it by hand?
Why am I watching this, I don’t even own a tree
Guy must have watched SmarterEveryDay.
Very impressive, the ropes you used must be very strong. I had some education at military school in the 1960’s, about blocks, tackle, multiplied force etc, with regard to moving cargo and supplies on ships. The man who taught all this was an ex WWII navy commander, and he warned us about making sure that the breaking strain of cables was not exceeded. To illustrate this, he recounted how, on another ship, a mis-calculation had led to a cable breaking while lifting a heavy load, and the whiplash of the broken end cut a sailor clean in half.
I'll be honest, I was kind of disappointed when he fired up the engine to pull that trunk. I was half expecting him to just pull a rope by hand or something
Looks like a “Final destination” moment waiting to happen.
“Let’s see what happens”
That works until you meet a tree that has a 45-1 root system.
Makes you really appreciate how strong those orcs in Lord of the Rings must have been....
Hello 911, I was sitting in my kitchen when a red block and tackle with 6' of chain came through my front door, down the hall, hit the TV and landed out on my back deck.
When the tree finally gave up he was at least 60 miles from home...😜😜
Scott,,I read all of the reply’s. It amasses me at the number of people that will watch a man perform a work of his choosing,,get the results he anticipated and yet condemn him for NOT performing the work by their method of choice. Unbelievable!! Congrats on a job well done. I was intrigued and entertained. Thanks for the video!
Bravo! Work smart, not hard. Looks like it was fun to engineer.
Lots of ropes and pulleys. Love it. The only thing you could have added to make it better would be more cowbell.
