You know around here...we've got these things called chain saws. I'm sure there wasn't any alcohol involved.

Thats what gives us ford owners a bad name. All the dodge and chevy guys who see this are saying "only a ford guy".

If that doesn't scream, "Hey y'all, watch this!", I don't know what does.

I hate to say this but I removed 2 trees form my yard in a simular fashion.. they were much smaller trees and put up no fight.

I can find much more productive ways to abuse my truck, like taking my frustrations out on Cumaparts and Maxipads.......

LOL - I ruined some chain on mine, had to get out the "recovery" chain to finish the job!

Thanks for the video John!

I have to admit that probably all of us have removed a bush or tree, but you have to consider the methods being used, such as in this video. Chains are not designed to be snapped/jerked like a 40,000lb strap can. You may end up with a flying object if no consideration or judgment is used.


Notice the "missile maker" in this video, the ball could of and I have seen this in real life, become a flying object with devastating results. Trailer ***** were designed to pull trailers, once abused they become missiles. Fortunately this guy was lucky with no incident.....
