I'm pretty proud of Brian scoring his new Chevy tow truck, and have been following the threads on the subject religiously. Now one thing that keeps coming up is his talking about pulling a stump with this rig. I know it has a combined 30,000 lbs of winch on that twin boom outfit, but if we are talking a man-sized stump here, I say no way. Aint gonna happen. A serious tree stump is way more that Brutus will ever be able to take on. Maybe set your sights on a sappling, Bry; you are going to really disappoint the boys if you keep talking about pulling stumps with that rig.

Well, there is no questioning that Brutus is one tough rig, but I don't think that it is any match for a serious tree stump. I think Bry is in for a real wake-up call if he actually tries to pull this off with a regular tow truck. No way, no how.

I've gotta ask; Brian, do you want that reality sandwich on rye? I'm sure that Brutus can drag cars by the ass all day long, but I have to warn Brian that it isn't going to be a match for a tree stump. Bry, you might want to dig it out and saw through the tap root first if you really want try hooking it.

This sounds like a bet to me.
I'm probably wrong

Steve, you may be right, but I am going to give it hell anyway. It is a willow tree stump and those babies are notoriously shallow rooted. It is probably 28" across.
I'll take the reality sandwich on a toasted everything bagel, please.
Wait 'till you see me lowering and raising engines out of my basement with it. That'll bring a tear to your eye!
That which you manifest is before you.

If you chain it to another tree, my money is on Brutus pulling it out. Otherwise, I see it winching the big brute across the ground.
