This was a pretty big bush,...about 8' tall and 8' in diameter. There must have been about 40 individual trunks,... each measuring 1.5" to 3" in diameter. I was pulling about 5 trunks at a time. A smaller chain would have done as well, but the 3/8" chain had no problem cinching up tightly enough. The root ball left a hole that required 3 healthy wheelbarrows of dirt to fill. The ruts my tractor dug in the back yard took a couple, also.
I was just thinking back over my 50+ yrs as a cattleman.
I would love to have been at your tree with my JD 450C dozer. Maybe 5 min and it would have been over...
