I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Yesterday I was tugging at this old hard cedar stump. My technique is to open the 4-1 bucket essentially forming a big mouth. I then "bite" down on it and back away. Yesterday the stump was stubborn so I was flooring it trying to yank the thing out. I discovered the tract ice effort of a medium 66 horsepower tractor can exceed the weld strength of the bucket attachment pins. As the stump pulled free the bucket did as well...sort in concert with each other. So that ended my bucket operations for awhileTime to get sarge down here!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
I may do a stump removal how-to latter this spring. All you need is a stump, a cordless drill with a auger bit, a stick of TnT and something to hide behind.
Yeah the jd isn't a dozer........... But look at the bright side you found the working parameters of that piece of equipment!& the great thing about steel is it can always be fixed.

Sarge ready for deployment? I am sure that he is waiting on a mission. Otherwise he is just sitting around waiting to start leaking.
Need a tower...multiple platforms for antennas, solar panels and wind generator. I am never without wind here. Think I'll wrap around the deck enough to tuck a power and battery room on one corner...wood closet on the other to feed the wood stove. Thought about the solar water heater. Think I'll add a coil into the wood stove routed to the hot water tank or to a field of radiant floor heating for the shed as an experiment to see if burning wood could heat the whole thing and make hot water for the shower...Put the solar panels on the top deck mounted from the sides like flower pedals then strap on a VHF, a HF, a FM, and a TV digital antenna and I'd have a pretty good spot to shoot deer and turkey from!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Bought 1, and after 6 months got enough money back from the power company to buy the second. But his towers are narrow single poles with guide wires. If you can find one of those old style TV "towers" that used to be by peoples houses; you could re-task it to how you want it. More than enough surface area to mount antennas.
Don, just thinking as I don't remember how all this is going in. On the second floor, does it end on another interior wall, or just end? If the end is not over that wall, I would run a 2x4 up the wall to the bottom of the last floor joist.
You are a busy man, get Sarge going!!
