Yeah, you can see that the stump landed on the end. Seems a robust bit of kit if it’s weight is anything to go by. Was good for pushing down a hung up tree as well last week.

Yup, they are exceedingly strong, but you'd surprised what you can achieve with a small brain and a  'see what happens' attitude.

 

I bent mine attempting to defy the laws of physics on a humungous Ash.

 

I actually have two of them but have lost one in the Wood somewhere.

This tree pusher over thing is cool. This sycamore is going to be a garden table. Now I hear you stack the planks vertically for sycamore. Is it necessary to seal the plank ends in this weather?

Stack on edge or vertically until the free water has dried to prevent sticker marks later. Then normal stacking to air or kiln dry. I would seal the ends irrespective of weather. In my experience it can be really prone to insect attack so borax or debark it as well. 

 

Can be absolutely lovely wood but it isn't very durable. Not sure how long it will last as garden furniture.
