I'm a come-along owner but he just dug and used the weight to act as a lever and popped it out. I thought a lot of work but no stump and it does not have to be done the same day. If I look at the lack of a chain saw, fuel, maintenance etc it sort of makes sense, This on about 30 trees over 20 years. Slow and steady won the cheapness race. Granted not everyone has the time but still a viable option in you have a vision of what you would like in the future. The word is envision and the scale can be grandiose or subtle. Bill Waxing I doubt a come-along would pull out a standard, mature tree but on shrubs and dwarf trees, it saves a lot of sweat. For a mature tree, that your not in a hurry to remove your brother in laws technique sounds intriguing. If he could roll in a fulcrum, it might be even better. How does he deal with the final stage, when he is digging and the tree is almost ready to go. When I'm cutting, I like to have a QUICK escape exit.
