[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 357886, member: 1863"] I find it much easier to push over standing trees with my track-loader than cutting them first and trying to remove the stumps later. I push the tree over and then cut the stump / root ball off with a chainsaw. The height and weight of the tree gives you more leverage then the stump does. After cutting the stump off I just push the tree to the side and let the local logger boys come in and trim the tops and cut the logs. I get paid a premium because they do not have to fell the tree and I get the benefit of not having to dig out the stumps. Getting up stumps is a pain. On big trees I have to dig around one side and then use that dirt to make a small ramp on the other side of the tree so that I can push from a higher position. But that is a really big tree. [/QUOTE]
