Stump pulling

Has anyone pulled out lealandie tree stumps using their Freelander? If so any tips appreciated!
Thanks Rob I was a happy Freelander 1 owner for 10 years, now a happy Freelander 2 owner.

Link up a pully, so you are pulling at a angle, if the stump comes out at a rate you won't end up with a stump shaped dent in the rear bumper, like I did in a old car pulling a conifer Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Better bet would be pay the £80 and get the stump ground out.

I would agree, no point in risking damage to save £80

Agree, don't know the size but I hired a stump chipper, ground it down below the surface, drilled holes and poured in some root killer.

I don't think the FL2 is the best tool for the job. I'd be concerned about finding a sturdy enough attachment point for the pull chains and excess strain on the transmission. I also wonder if it has enough torque to do the job. Also, explosives are more satisfying 2013 LR2 HSE LUX: 2.0L I4; Barolo Black, Ebony Windsor Leather; Navigation, Satellite Radio, Cold Weather Pack, Piano Black Trim.

Six tonnes, that's as maybe but towing eyes are primarily installed for own vehicle recovery, I wouldn't fancy all my underneath bits at full torque removing my stump

Exactly. If the 6t rating can be trusted, it's likely for static load not shock load. Moreover, the shackle itself might be 6t rated, but if it's attached to a structure that isn't also 6t rated it doesn't matter what the shackle rating is. The weakest point will always fail first. I don't fancy discovering what that would be. Call a tree service! 2013 LR2 HSE LUX: 2.0L I4; Barolo Black, Ebony Windsor Leather; Navigation, Satellite Radio, Cold Weather Pack, Piano Black Trim.
