Ground anchor

[Danny]

Hi this week i had to fell a tree of roughly 15 meters leaning towards a garden house we climbed up to connect a rope and on our way we cutted al the branches that we passed. When the rope was set up i started cutting and in the mean time my colleague started pulling to take the top off bit by bit.

What i want to know is if its possible to make a ground anchor from some tubing or something approximately 1.5 meters or 5 feet long and connect it to a wrench with for example 3 ton pulling force so he is more save next time.

Would be great to get some advice.

Going to be hard to find something in tubing, and/or 1.5 M long that will hold 3 ton. Do you have a large truck or farm tractor you could anchor it with? And long enough rope.

Sorry i meant that the wrench/ hoist itself can pull maximum 3 ton i will put an example in the attachment its not the same one as i have but more as an example. I want to make the anchor out of a scaffolding tube with a diameter of 5cm or roughly 2 inches with a wall thickness of 4mm or 0.16inch
