Had a little fun today Buddy dared me to try and pull down this tree with my 4runner no pre cutting with a chain saw , well you know I had to take him up on this dare here's what he videoed on my phone lol



And they say cops have are no fun yea right it was a blast even though it lasted only a couple mins.

looks like it was a hazard and would have eventually come down on it's own with as punky as it was

olharleyman

yea it was only 40 inches round but was roded about 1/2 way through and it sit's right on our shooting lanes so it was a hazard that needed to go so for giggles and grins that's how we removed the hazard , next is the one next to it

iamsuperbleeder

out of curiosity, why did you use a tree saver?

strykersd

I've read that you always want to do things like pulling a stump or pulling a truck out in a forward gear, not a backwards gear. Something about the transmission being stronger. I could be wrong, but that's just what I've heard...

To add to the humor of it all

It's easier on your rear ring & pinion to put that pressure on the drive side of the ring gear rather than the coast side of the gear. However, your front R&P will see that pressure on the coast side while pulling forward. I'd rather have the breakage in the front 3rd if something was to happen while pulling.

Good to know! Thanks!

Well i hope you atleast cut it up so it didnt block that path..
Or you were on private property, too.

olharleyman

Yea it is private property and it will be cut up Sunday we just needed to get it cleared from the shooting area so if it did fall it would not hurt anyone shooting and causing an even worse situation.

K good, i just wanted to make sure it wasnt out in a public area, and just to tear stuff up...
Safety first!

Lets see i saw a 4 runner, a tree, did we see footage of the 4 runner tugging? We just saw a tree fall? Vid or it didn't happen......

olharleyman

Yea my LT. did a bad job doing the taping but if you listen you can hear the 22 tacking up as I tug reset tug
and you can see the tree saver flex and relax

Teuf

I know, I am just bustin ya chops. Get Cecil B Demille to vid it next time.
