Stump pulling with the Fordson Major Tractor Australia

Pulling a dead tree out with the old Fordson Major. She's got grunt the old girl. Built the engine hoist on the back to use as a mobile crane. Fitted a electric fuel pump from a XJ12 Jaguar complete with fuel return. Rewire, alt in place of the gen and an oil change should see this old girl around for a while. Mint!

Well the rear rims are solid cast iron to add weight. (was fun fitting a new tyre recently) but trust me that motor has enough grunt to easily lift the front wheels. It'll spin a rotary hoe no probs and it has been worked hard.

Its all in the gearing and it has a low/high range gearbox.

we pull out trees with out major by wrapping a rope round the base of the tree and just looping the other end round the link arms and liftin it straight up

im surpised it could pull that out. the fordson major weighs to much for the size of motor it has

[keithmcgrath]

The Fordson Power and Super Major are too old now for that,get a JCB instead,use the Major for splitting blocks and and us it for light work
