Those old guys have their ways of just getting stuff done and not waiting around for someone else. This reminds me of one time on the farm we had a silage wagon with a flat tire, we only had a regular tire iron and my uncle and I each on a side couldn't break a single bolt. We went back to the shop to get pipes and when we got back not even 15 minutes later my grandpa had the tire off already and was just sitting there waiting on us. We badgered him to tell us how he got it done and he said he would never tell us, and you know what, he never did! Hats off all the old guys with practical pragmatic years of experience!

The way we do it is get a shovel and dig around the trunk then you look for the tree roots then usuing a axe to break them off. once you have enough space to get in there with the axe to cut them off then you use a truck and chain to tie around the tree trunk with one of the roots that is connected and pull it out that way because of the main Root underneath the tree and you chop the Root off with the axe. It may take some time but you don't hurt yourself at the end.

I had to remove 3 (50) year old grapefruits. I did not have the pole so when I cut the trees down I left a 5 foot stump (leverage) and let them dry over the winter. Hammered a 10" spike into a dead tree at the highest level possible. Attach the come-along and cable just under the spike and the other end to a live tree very low to the ground. Adjusted the come-along periodically and stump came out without a lot of work or fuss. Cost me under $75 for this one use tool, 'Harbor Freight". Not the fastest way but for granddads like the guy in the video and me a very good way.
