My place is absolutely covered with Yaupon, and the stuff grows faster than you can cut it.
My question has to do with pulling it out with my tractor (JD "A"). I understand about keeping the "load" at, or below the draw bar (so it doesn"t try to go over on me), but am wondering about technique--- is it a matter of slowly applying pressure to the cable, chain, etc, until the load (in this case, yaupon) starts to let go and move, or does it work better if you hit the load with a series of "bumps" (jerk)...
My old owner"s manual doesn"t say much about pulling stumps....
Anyone have any experience with this sort of thing?

Set the Drawbar to the "Long" setting...as long as you can and if yopu have an option, set it at the lower position.. I like to use a fairly long clevis with the chain run thru it.. Set this way, you can pretty well pull until the tires are digging and not worry...

You can take a wheel from old corn planter. Set it next to a post. Run the chain over the top of it. It will turn a straight pull into a lifting force. It works well with fence post and I would think it might make brush pulling a little easier.

No experience with your brush, but you really dont want to jerk or snap your cables/chains as you stand a risk of breaking and backlash. And of course you dont want to "Slip" the clutch either. Best to ease it in and give it fuel. If it wont get it then you will need to dig or cut. Not much different that a team of Dads Mules.
