All well, pulled them out in a rain of dirt and roots. But the last one was rather big and on top of a 2 meter wall and I had to pull paralell to the wall. Got in put it in GA and let go of the brake and it stopped the moment the strap tightened. OK, a bit of throttle, pulled a few cm and then stopped. OK. more throttle, wheelspin on dry asphalt, same thing, the tree wins. Next round, GA, lockers on front and back, throttle gently and there she moves! But whats that funny bouncing feeling? Oops... both back wheels are in the air. Force of gravity wins though, and the tree is pulled and lets the G gently down as it is unrooted. With a G and a 7-ton strap there is no weak link | ||

Anyways, I think the pictures in my head are far more dramatic and if someone documented it it would just be embarassing. Now, I shall proceed to cut down the mighties tree in the garden wiv aaaa....
