    After watching the moving of the wooden platform, it's much easier pulling than pushing. It's probably the reason front driving cars are more popular than rear driving cars.

    • @chasjacks9378
      @chasjacks9378 2 года назад +1

      Also try to lift your end off the ground even if just inches because all the weight is pushed to the back corner instead of dragging eight feet of friction. If that is to heavy then put it flat lift your end and pull it as it distributes the weight more evenly. Last if you are still having trouble call your husband and supervise him moving the platform.

    The easiest way to get rid of a large stump is burn it. Yes, it will take days but not that much effort. Using the largest and long drill bit you have drill multiple hole down through the center. Now drill a hole in from side as low as possible. It must meet up with the center hole. Start a fire in center. It will draw air from the side hole. Any kind of blower will speed up the burn.

    Tractors are great tools but a backhoe or excavator is a better tool for clearing land. I know they're expensive but you can use them for many more projects on an off grid property over the next 5 years of building and improvements. Or if you can rent an excavator when you need it when the tractor can't handle it. After watching so many you tubers and seeing what they could get accomplished with a tractor and excavator and they always said the excavator was the best purchase they ever made whether used or new.
