The reason he can not pull the butts loose. Is that he has yet to finish the cut.LOL I do not blame him one bit,That is one dangerous scenario.
That is why having a bull dozer makes firewood gathering so much safer. Just drive up to the stump and give it a push.
I have pushed several small hangups down with the loader on the 4x4 tractor too. I have a roof on it with 4 post. But there is no front screen of any sort. So you do have to watch for limbs to come flying back at you.
LOL, I'm going to let nature/weather work on the hinge a bit before I try pulling it off the stump with the skidder winch again.
