Shrub pulling was Re: [AT] Tree pullin...

[Rob Wilson]

Not trees exactly but I learned a trick from my BIL when 
trying to remove old shrubs. He couldn't get the tractor
in the yard without tearing the lawn up so he used his
little Toyota 4X4 wagon. He hooked a chain around the
base of the shrub then took it over a slightly leaning
spare tire and then the hitch on the wagon. With VERY
little work the shrub popped right out of the ground
and never even turned a tire. The leaning tire created
a fulcrum point as it stood up. Thought this would work
great but getting a tractor tire to stand up while you
hooked a chain over it to the tractor seemed a little
dangerous. Then again you could always call in the 
Dotson bros to help blow the trees out with some dynamite
and then burn them :)
