Nice tractor!

 

Butlers at Newbury had a fordson with a winch when I work there 3 years ago but I have pulled trees that big over with a tirfor before no problem as long as you have a good anchor

A tip from the Ag side, Dad and his brother pulled over some massive Ash trees when I was a boy, I remember measuring some of the stumps at 3' across.

With a DB 990 or indeed a Universal 540, both light tractors.

BUT

Hitch a trailer on the back, loaded with 3 to 5 tonne of aggregate, connect the wire rope to the back of the trailer, pick the lowest gear in the gear box and GO!

The weight of the trailer both gives the tractor wheel added traction AND prevents the rope pull from lifting the back end.

Akinda "counter-intuitive" but logical.

cheers

PS

That tree does not look like any kind of monster to my eye.

Not with 330HP tractors weighing 8 or 9 tonne out there, never mind the potential of a ballast trailer.

Or even a 200/250HP one with weights front and rear thereon.

Cheers
