Stump pulling
About 25 years ago my parents planted a hedge line to keep the neighbors on their own property (Like a good neighbor, stay over there...) Fast forward to 2016; they are mostly dead (the hedge line), overgrown, and full of miscellaneous debris that is isn't what Mom and Dad planted originally. Dad decided they needed to come out, so my brother and I set out yesterday to remove them. (My parents now have new neighbors and they are great. The hedge line isn't really needed anymore anyway.) I thought you guys would like to see some old red iron in action.
   We made one heck of a mess. We were pulling stumps that were 3 foot- 4 foot diameter, and at least 2 feet deep. The ole H did a great job though.

I'm kind of surprised the H had enough size for the job. Stumps can fool you how easy/hard they are to move. Most of the time I'm generally trying to push them out backwards with the scrape blade. You've got a lot of work ahead cleaning all that up! We just finished removing the main bodies of some trees dad had cut in his yard last summer. It would be nice to have the stumps ground or dug out (preferably) but its going to have to wait a while. The largest tree was about 53" at the base after I cut it off flush with the ground.

Thanks for sharing!! You are correct... it is nice to see old iron still being put to use!
 I have an old M that has been in the family for 45 years.. It is the most faithful piece of equipment that I have.. Even on 6 volts it only rolls over about twice before it pops off.. no matter how long it has been sitting!! Good ole American Iron!

It was 60 on Saturday. Nice warm spell.
I love Ms. I hope to get one some day. This is my brother's H and it works great. The plan was to run all of the mess through a chipper but looking at the stumps Dad is going to look into a company coming with a grapple and hauling it out of the property. The neighbors that my parents put the hedge line up for actually installed the fence like a week later. It still makes me laugh thinking about it. They had a back yard full of junk and we didn't want to look at it anyway!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
