.This one from yesterday gave me considerable grief 
.It was held up in a big Gum(left side in first pic) and wouldn't budge 
.Finally had to bring in snatch snap and some 4x4 power 
...that sorted it!Mind you,the ute went backwards a few metres following the old tree to the ground 
...another 7 trees to go...just like a never ending pack of Tim Tams

Also glad to hear Tim Tam have not cornered the market in never ending stories.

Dean
Welcome to the Forums and the Small Timber Milling section is an excellent place to start.
MM has had quite a deal to do with mango timber. If you like this thread you might like to view another of his from a while ago.
https://www.woodworkforums.com/showth...ht=mango+stump
In fact if it were up to us to allocate him a Forum name, we might have made it MangoMan .
