Removing bushes with a farm jack

Please subscribe for more DIY updates!
The DIY tripod farm jack works very well on bushes, shrubs, small trees, etc. Be careful to wear a safety helmet, eye protection and gloves. The equipment can shift and there is a lot of potential energy stored ready to conk your head. Some farm jacks are better quality than others.

WARNING: These jacks are notorious for the little clip slipping and the arm to release with a violet force. I have used three different manufactured products, and they all slip sometimes. When the arm shoots back up, it will do damage or hurt you. I know and have the bruises. Watch your hands, eyes, teeth, etc. Be careful. SAFETY first.

This certainly looks like a fun and interesting way of pulling up shrubs, I just use a shovel the dead ones usually just seem to pop right out for me. My ground is different, really dense clay so root systems typically stay real close. As far as all of the safety gear comments - A little thought and prep will always be better than spending a day in the ER no matter what -

This is a funny video. I was looking for a snow mobile for his safety gear. Could have been enough until I saw the part with the helmet!!

If you had a longer lever like pvc over that handle it would be easier

You should consider wearing safety equipment when using tools 😆

Thank you for the awesome video...im headed to HD to pick ip some 2x4 to make these support legs. Great job wearing the safety gear. Ive seen first hand how dangerous thes farm jacks can be. little to no time to react when it slips. Dead bushes, here I come :)

Hi nice video, may I recommend putting some sort of "wide feet" or you wood stand for
more support so that they dont sink in the ground. regards from Christian in Gemany

OMG, you Americans make a HUGE show out of everything... all that's missing is the melee suit!
Despite everything, the idea of how you did the construction is brilliant! Happy Easter and greetings from Germany!

What's the other technique you mentioned at 15:20? Did you make a video on them? They look like they can be easily pulled with the farm jack. Have you tried?

[RickCuellar]

I just used this technique getting dead bushes out and wow, it WORKS!

Great job, lads! You just taught me something new!

[splitpea]

Brilliant! Which do you suppose the sturdiest farm jacks are? Job well done!

[GrrrRu]

Tearing off the branches from the roots) yet the result is good.

Great video thanks. the jacks are designed that way to bend the handle just before the weight tolerance limit to prevent explosion
