I've seen plenty of crazy stump pulling videos. This is THE first one that is fast and practical. Thanks Russell.
-
That moment when the root cracks (or snaps) -- SO satisfying. I cannot wait 'til mine arrives next week. Finally, a solution for my dang guinea grass and rubbish weed trees. Thanks for the demonstration.

I've seen other videos about this but Russell Platten's are inspiring for mere mortals! Thank you! Showing one "failure" in the form a a jack that gave way, in another video, goes a long way to make this more practical and encouraging, believe it or not (at least for me!).

That looked like hard work, but the results were fantastic. Great video!
-
That is so cool! Thank you for sharing the video.

I grew up on a farm. We had a farm jack called a "Handyman Jack". Our jack was quite a bit smaller and had a much smaller foot. We used blocks under the foot. But, there was very little we couldn't lift with that little tool. The lever is still one of the most powerful answers to immoveable objects. Archimedes said, "give me a long enough lever and I can lift the world."

That was excellent! I so Very much appreciate your pointing out the importance of holding onto the jack to prevent it from bouncing back, and for the chain and the jack’s lift weight capabilities. 👏🏼👍🏼

Farm Jacks are so versatile and awesome. Ive used them for countless fence-building and other projects.
-
It's extremely nice to see someone at work who isn't afraid of getting dirty hands. Well done mate. Nice video.
-
Great job! Make it look easy! Love all the birds singing! Thanks for the safety tips! So important!

I just came across this because I had been looking for an old, classic bumper jack for cars for just this purpose, (everyone scrapped them years ago) and saw a video of a boy using one of these to pull a fence post and now your video. My main intention was to pull small bush stumps but seeing this, I have two tree stumps I may try it on. I ordered a farm jack today
-
Nicely done. Great job picking up the rewarding sound of roots breaking!

I just turned 91 years old. I can't do it this here way no more. What I do is to hitch it to my F150 (1989 model that still runs like water thru a hose) and pull the SOB out. I guess your way will work too.

Great video, inspiring. Thanks. I'm going to get a Farm Jack and try this method.
-
Great video, thanks for posting and many thanks for the safety tips.
-
I have one of these jacks but never thought about pulling up a stump. Going to try it this afternoon.
-
I've seen vids of using a farm jack, a few years back, and it has definitely helped me. 'Cept I put mine under a major root, but the chain looks like an idea too. Thanks for sharing.
-
Incredibly satisfying! What a piece of kit!
-
Great job, thanks for sharing ❤

That worked out better than I expected. Might just have to try that.
