4HI when ripping out bushes correct??
Im pretty sure I want to be in 4 Hi when i rip out some bushes but i remember a thread awhile back where someone tried it and broke something, but i think they were in 4Lo
I really dont want to break something so some reassurance would be nice

Re: 4HI when ripping out bushes correct??
IMO i would use 4-Lo and use the torque to pull them up slowly..if you think you have to get a running start and yank 'em i reckon 4-Hi would work better

Re: 4HI when ripping out bushes correct??
If someone messed up a trans pulling bushes, then either the trans was already weak or they did it wrong!

Re: 4HI when ripping out bushes correct??
4lo is for slow, hard grunting. Wouldn't you say that is just about how you should pull out a bush?

Re: 4HI when ripping out bushes correct??
for small wimpy bushes, hell you could pull them out in 2wd. if they are big behemoths i would use 4-lo. i'm thinking the person that messed up their tranny was trying to go too fast in 4-lo.

Re: 4HI when ripping out bushes correct??
4-Low, definitely. IIRC, the guy that killed his tranny was in 4-Hi, but when he gave it some gas and it wasn't spinning or pulling, he floored it, and the tranny broke.

Re: 4HI when ripping out bushes correct??
Just use common sense, if it's jerking the truck hard or really slamming shifts then do it a different way.
I always try gently pulling things first Hi then Lo.

Re: 4HI when ripping out bushes correct??
IMO, I'd go 4lo. I ripped out some pretty large bushes from our yard in 4lo.

Re: 4HI when ripping out bushes correct??
Depending on the type of bush, a truck may not pull it out... Some of the old school yews around here won't come out with a small tractor, and either have to be cut & ground or dug out.
We once tied 4 trucks onto a single bush, only to destroy the entire yard, rather than just a small section.
4-LO, unless you're jerking.

i used my truck in 4-Lo to take a huge dead branch over the driveway down..the neighbors across the street sat out there open mouthed and i could read the "what a redneck" crossing their lips but it came down
