Want to use my 1250 to pull out some Rose of Sharon. Any suggestions? How much damage could I do with putting slack in the chain and giving it a good wham!?

i usually use my truck when I pull a shrub , give it a little slack and just put it in R and then it struggles too so i think it won't do much with a 500# GT

depends on how big they are and how wet the ground around them is
I would use a tow strap over a chain on smaller dia. items the chain will not bite in as well as a strap double wrapped around the base as low as you can get it I would soak the ground 18" around the shrub you are wanting to pull the root system will mostly be in the top 18" of soil so you wouldnt need to soak it that long to get it deep enough I would think that providing the ground is soft around the shrub and you can get enough traction you should be able to pull out a 1"-maybe as much as 2" rose of sharon A hard yank has the potential to geek up stuff inside a rear end not saying I havent done it but couldnt feel comfortable suggesting it to anyone knowing that there is a "potential" risk of damage |

I agree with "104" the potential for damage out weights the benefits. I have had very little luck pulling shrubs of any kind. Now I just dig out around them and cut the root ball then they will come out with a little effort.

I use a 3/8" chain and wrap alot of it around the base of what ever I'm trying to pull out, leaving alot of slack in the chain I haven't had anything stop my F350 yet.

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.
