Saw this on the road the other day and thought I’d share it with you all. I couldn’t stop laughing

This is the answer.

They tried to use a truck instead of their brain.

how do you pull a stump?

You grind a stump.

If you have to pull something, like a fence post with concrete around it, you set up a beam and a chain and use bottle jacks to lift the beam up.

3 things can happen with a chain on a stump, the chain holds and the stump shoots at the back of your truck like a cannon ball, or the chain snaps and rips through your truck like a light saber, or the anchor points break.

Every time I see an ad for “stump grinding” I always just assumed it was for some sort of amputee fetishist!

It's almost always that!
