Any Jeepers in here?

On a stock Cherokee bumper or Wrangler? Hopefully Wrangler since XJ's don't have anything to support that kind of weight a pull would put on the bumper.

From the pics he posted it appears its going on an unlimited JK

You really want at least an 8k pound winch. You gotta remember when you normally use the winch you arent just pulling dead weight, normally your stuck which adds a lot more resistance for the winch to be pulling

You can use a smaller winch IF you understand how to use block and tackle...

Missed that, should be okay, though a custom bumper would look awesome.

I dunno... Its kinda fun pulling a stuck H1 out with a wimpy little Jeep!

Even with a 9K winch, you need a pulley (and maybe strap yourself to a tree).

Almost as much fun as pulling out a 1T 4x4...

My first jeep had a 3K winch on it...

I used to carry several pulleys...
And straps, and chains...

I have an 8,000lb Warn winch. I still need to get pulleys and a proper strap.

I plan on using it next month to pull out some stumps

3K? Good Lord!

Hey, ya'll.... Kick back and have cold one. This'll take a while..... (wrrrr....wrrrr.....)

I use the heck out of my slow little 8K. Pulling stumps and fence posts and dragging stuff on/off the trailer (yes, occasionally the jeep). Actually doesn't get used off-road nearly as much.

Hey it was a HUGE upgrade from the 2T Come-along...

You're 8k winch works good pulling out stumps?

I prefer using either my backhoe, or if it is a bit away from everything burn the stump out...

I have a bunch of large overgrown bushes I'm going to cut down. And I want to try and yank the stumps out. I was going to use my dads CAT skid steerer, but it'll tear the yard up since the ground is soft.

So I thought I'd attempt to use the winch first...

Yep.

With a pulley, no problem. Straight up works pretty well, too. I put a 4x4 post under the front bumper, otherwise the suspension just compresses.

A chain down in the roots, hooked to a snatch strap, and then a running start ALWAYS works. That'll rut up the yard, though (and my wife doesn't think it is funny). Hence, the winch.

Edit to add: bushes will be no issue at all. I pulled 20+ out in a day with mine. Then I got to burn them.

I think you'll find the skid steer would be the faster and easier route...

But, I have never used a winch to remove a stump. Well at least not on purpose anyway...

 

[lovemachine]

I'll have to give it a try.

I'll take pictures

Its LoveMachine. They will be hilarious.

2 shots of him pulling a stump (staged - he really used the loader). Then 35 of him posing with his washed and waxed TJ.

Go de-stump your yard!
