Yeah i would lift.
But its up to you what you want to do with it.

it will prolly get lifted, although i might make it a rat rod

Rat rod racin mower. that would be my next build hands down and that would be a perfect candidate.

Sounds good.

so, can anyone tell me why my motor wont run my lights? i have the kill wire wired up right, and the red wire has to e going to the battery cause of the 12v coil that leaves one wire, and it doesn't work my lights, i know the lights themselve work, caue if i touch the wire to the battery they come on

I'd get a meter to see if the motor is producing the power. Clean up the ground too.

yea, ill borrow one and see,

well, good news and bad news, the good news, i got her running and pulled some trees out the ground, the bad news the heavy s.o.b. flipped backwards on me while pulling them up lol, then the shaft somehow got warped and broke the pillow block lol

Wow did you get hurt?
It sounds like it needs waight in the front end.

na im fine, and yea it needs more weight up front

I think you should hook lower on the machine but you do have that nice ball hitch on it haha

lol im contemplating lowering the hitch down now lol its fine pulling a heavy trailor, but it dont work pulling up trees

Yea all it wants to do is drive under you the whole time, I guess you found youre limit on pulling

yea, pull anything except a tree when its still in the ground,

Yeah does it pull a tree if its cut down?

allow me to share an old trick

get yourself a barrel or drum or old tireérim, whatever, something round that you can run a chain or cable over.

tie of on the tree as low as possible, run the cableéchainéstrap over the round thing, and pull.

Pulling straight up, works much better than trying to pull sideways.

Just like pulling a weed

Old offroaders trick. works to lift big things out of a deep rut too.

truckin, yea it will pull one easy if its already out,
chopper, i will try that, but im not really to anxious to have the heavy sob flip on me again lol, after it flipped on me i turned around and hooked the chain to my front bumper, it pulled the other one up like that, and i didn't have to worry bout her flipping lol

Just think of the bright side atleast your didnt have your 29hp on there already. Lol
