Had a couple of unwieldy tree stumps in the garden...tow rope, Vitara, you get the general idea...

When I've removed tree stumps before I've used the highlift Jack, it's also good for removing sections of 'raised planters' (small panels welded to posts which have been concreted in)

I hate those tow ropes. Never use them for
A recovery ever! I speak with experience.

It worked fine towing the Vitara through the muddy bomb hole the other day...

My hi-lift has been used more times on tree stumps than it has on my Vit.

I snapped the hook off one of the yellow ones and I have a nice dent in my tailgate!

Indeed.

Spent an evening put a new rear window in a disco after a similar
Experience. Thankfully my friend was looking in his mirror
And not turned looking out the rear or he'd have got a
Hook to the face. :shock:

I got a sort of out door waterfall feature with my Vitara.

Filled the petrol tank up for the first time in 7 years & the top half of the tank cascaded out. Charlie Dimmok would have been proud.

It did mean I missed going to Tong in April...
