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 Iain |

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. |

6t static weight maybe but shock weight I doubt it At work

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. |
