[QUOTE="jrcat, post: 4308352"] I like the excavator idea .....sounds safer. Any 200 size machine will take out a tree like that ie: JD 200 or a komatsu 200. I have tipped many out with an old 690E LC deere. Cut the roots on the side you push from and leave the other side as a hinge. Then move back reach up and push. Blasting it would...well be a blast, but as mentioned by the others here expensive. I have even tipped a few out with a TD-15E Thats dangerous too as you dont have much control. That 690 I ran could pull out a loaded tractor/walking floor with just the boom alone, and I mean loaded like 114,000lbs . So that tree ....no contest. [/QUOTE]
