So this is my second ecodiesel 1500. My son is on his second hemi. I’ve always told him he could beat me off the line, but I could always beat him at stump pulling.
so it turns out this weekend he had some hedge stumps to pull.they were really large and had 10 years of root growth. Rocky, hard clay and very dry San Antonio soil We broke some 500 pound pull rope. So,I went and bought a 30”, 7400 pound tow strap. Put the truck in 4 wheel drive, and locked the rear axle.
OMG what fun!. The ground would move and flex from the roots, and than you would hear tearing from from under the ground. And then, up comes the stump. No root cutting or anything. I realize it’s not like we were pulling tree stumps, but man it felt good. These were easily 8 - 10” across. Pull one, hook up another an rip it out. We had to let out a few Tim the Toolman Taylor “grunts”.
no tire spin. So, there’s my rear locker use......
