Is there anyone that I can ask some questions too about the project I'm doing? Dm or anything. I have a 4 ton puller and I need to pull a 30 ft tree with a 14-7 inch diameter. The tree is fallen with roots exposed. I need to pull it 90 degrees to cross a river. How would I go about hooking everything up? What rope or chain could I use that's long enough to cross the river to another tree. Help would be highly appreciated
I haven't tried pulling stumps or trees with root balls yet. Might be easier to cut the tree from the stump before trying to pull it. Sounds like you have a unique situation with a river crossing. Might be worth having someone take a look at that one.
Not the best line of fall, possibly because the pulling point was too low on the tree being felled or notch was not aligned correctly to the intended fall line. No issue in this location but not the best result if it was more critical.
Thanks for the feedback. It actually fell where I wanted it and in the direction of my notch cut but you are correct in that I didn't have the strap high enough. It took quite a while to bring the tree over with the lower pull point.
@@combaheeoutdoors1663 Thanks for your clarification, hard to tell from the. Video where you were attempting to fell it. Love to have a Puller like that, you certainly used it effectively.
I have a few trees I need to try this with, next to a barn so wish me luck. Now we know why women outlive most men. The things we do! @@combaheeoutdoors1663
i love my puller, wish i would've got it years ago
It's definitely built well! I'm going to try stump pulling next.
Pull it tight first before feeding it through the puller so you don't have to crank so much
Do you use a recovery strap at the other end of the more power puller?
Is that the 2 ton or 3 ton. Really nice come along. Looks worth the extra money if you ask me.
Yes, it is the larger unit and it is very well made!

@@combaheeoutdoors1663 Hmm who would I message to take a look?
Line was to low. Get that pull line at least half way up the tree.
