Mike walks through technique, real hydraulic heat concerns, and loader stress limits. Best for owners who already have a tree puller and want creative applications beyond its obvious purpose.
Tractor Mike is a longtime tractor-industry insider with decades of hands-on experience in the equipment business. He built his channel to help first-time and rural buyers make confident decisions, and his guidance comes from that deep, long-term background rather than a sales pitch.
Yes, Mike plunges the tips down around an oak stump and lifts and pushes repeatedly, severing roots until it moves and comes out after about thirty minutes.
Yes, he clamps the tree puller around the posts and pulls them out, including one post that came out still set in its concrete base.
Mike could not move the rock despite plunging and pushing, and warns that forcing a loader like this can bend its main frame or faceplate and spin tires.
It heats up hydraulic oil, spins tires, and can tear up the tractor, possibly bending the loader frame or faceplate, so Mike advises taking it easy.
