Went to Harbor Freight n the look from the clerk as I asked for the Farm Jack was hilarious as I waited in my nurses scrubs! Followed your video and I was proud as can be when I pulled the stump out! Thanks for posting your video!

[notwrknmch]

built this from your video five years ago and pulled many stumps not too large of A belated thanx

I came to your video when searching to see if a farm jack could help me remove my old fence posts. I never thought about using it for small stumps - so thanks for the vid! Great job.

I bought a H/F farm jack after seeing your video. I used the bi-pod legs idea as well and it worked just like you said. Thanks very much. It was so much easier than the last root I dug out!!

Tried this out on a few stumps in my yard. Worked like a charm.

Good job. I'm in the market for a farm jack, and this one might work. Only thing I'd do different is: 1) Place a large wooden, or metal, plate under your base; might keep it from sinking too far and maybe keep jack from falling to the side. 2) Definitely check out any utilities that are nearby. Those dang roots could pull up a water/gas/elec line as strong as they are. Thx for the vid.

Thanks for the idea. Paid $48 for the Harbor Freight farm jack with at 20% off coupon. Pulled two stumps this weekend that were 4 times the diameter of the stump in this video. Had to dig down to expose and cut the roots with a sawsall. When a sufficient number of roots are cut, you can get under a sturdy one with the jack and pull the stump out. I didn't need any tripod legs. Just be careful and make sure the jack is centered underneath one of the cut roots. Go slow and back it off if the jack wants to move sideways.

I have dug out loads of stumps just using a spade, pick and crow bar and can testify that it is damned hard work, this certainly looks to be a better way !

I used the farm jack, pickaxe, chain, and a pruning saw. No 2 by 4s to stabilize. Took out 12 similar sized stumps in a day in the rain by myself. Thought I was gonna have a heart attack but it was very effective. Strong Jack. It helped to put a platform of some kind of wood under the base of the Jack to keep it from sinking into soft ground.

Excellent work. I pulled many tree roots and wooden posts like this.

Mr Joe Robison! by far the best! and honest video no pre preps to make it look good, I can tell the force of the pulling power the way you made by a simple triangle footing support for the extraction Thank you for posting the awnswer that I was looking for Ma Friend!

[williepierce]

Great idea to stabilize the jack! I've spent years wrestling unstablized ones. Never again!

[cwinter]

I was looking for farm Jack's specifically to do this and saw this (pulling some honeysucke)! Glad to see it works before I bought one. Didn't think about stabilizing it with boards! Excellent idea!

[lynngrissom]

These Jacks are super handy! I've got one, and use it very often around the farm. Please be careful, as these Jacks tend to fall if the pins on the lifter doesn't fully engage. This comes from past experience.

Tomorrow should be a nice warm day, so I WILL get that tree stump out of our front yard!! Thanks for showing and explaining how to do it!!!

[redoakpropertycarellc]

This was the move. I just made a video on how I put mine together but you put me on the right path.

[jobfromdayone]

Well done and thank you for sharing. Once you sever those main roots these stumps give up the ghost. Thanks for the stabilizer idea. It’s a game changer.

[nchambers]

First, this works - thank you! I just pulled out 2 rosebushes using this method, and will do 3 more tomorrow after work.
...
Things I changed:
...
- I used a couple of pallet rails (about 3" x 3") from already disassembled pallets. They were nice and strong.
- When I wrapped the chain around the roots, I ran a 1/4" bolt (maybe 2" long) and nut through two links on the chain to make a tight loop (to minimize slip) right there at the farmjack, still leaving about 10" of the "tail" of the logging chain to go around the farm jack's working liftarm.
...
Things I can do better next time:
...
- I should have drilled the 5/8" holes on an angle, so the legs would spread farther apart for more stability.

Thanks for the video. We made a wooden tripod and it came out so easily. It allowed the jack to do it's job.
