[QUOTE="Gerald, post: 1620423, member: 36446"] Wow! I've never seen a group of people so starved for a funny video of an idiot doing something stupid with a Raptor and a tree!! :) I'm a little more reserved and tend to take things slowly and methodically. My wife constantly complains that I engineer things to death! We'll no joy this morning. I worked on the stump for a couple of hours until I ran through all three battery packs I have for my Milwaukee SawZaw. We've dug a trench around the tree now about 8-12 inches deep. I've cut through several roots that we're in the 3-4 inch thick range and there are still several that need to be cut once a get the batteries charged back up. Here are some photos from this morning. [ATTACH=full]165390[/ATTACH] The long distance across this stump is about 23 inches and the short distance across is about 12 inches. The stump is about 22 inches high. Here is a shot with the Raptor to give a little perspective. [ATTACH=full]165391[/ATTACH] And here is a shot with the strap set up. [ATTACH=full]165392[/ATTACH] I forgot to take a picture of the stump at the end of our efforts today. I'll try and remember to get a shot when I get there in the morning. The process I'm using is to go slowly. I cut a few major roots and then tug on the stump to see if it moves. Then I cut a few more roots and tug again. I'm not flooring it or getting a large slack in the strap and taking off waiting for the jolt of the truck stopping in it's tracks!! I think I might have tried about 2 feet of slack, but with a slight acceleration. That way there is no strong jolt when I get stopped in my tracks. I'll continue this process tomorrow morning. Eventually the stump will start moving and I'll cut a few more roots and then I hope it will eventually fully release from the ground. When I think the stump might give, I'll take a video of it with my phone. But I don't have a YouTube account or anything to post the video. As a minimum, I will follow up with more photos tomorrow!
