I got ya.
Another reason we leave high stumps is when cutting in really rocky spots. Rather than dull a chain by accidentally hitting a rock, we will leave them that high and treat them. That way its tall enough you can see it if you are driving through.
That's the cool part Cat, Mike said this pipe is made of 100% resin, without any protective additive at all, and by the time the tree would be big enough to to be affected by the pipe, it will just crumble away.
That makes senses, I haven’t planted fruit trees where we mow as of yet, so I hadn’t thought about that.
Sorry Cat, I realized I didn’t answer your first question. It took a little umph to get the pipe into the ground, fortunately the pipe is pretty resilient, we were whacking it pretty hard.

I went behind the house yesterday evening and clipped a half dozen female persimmon scions to graft onto some male trees in a month or so. Appreciate the advice from you guys on here, I had no idea you could trans a persimmon tree. I should have been watching more Biden press conferences on transgender agenda — oh yeah, he doesn’t do press conferences.
My biggest embarrassment to date happened at Moab; it amounted to snapping not one but BOTH driveshafts in the old four door Cherokee pictured above. I had to get hauled off the pass between two jeeps, one to tow me up and the other to slow me down. That 78 Cherokee is the only rig we’ve ever completely built. It had a spring over/shackle flip lift from BJ’s off-road out in California. That was a BIG expensive job. We had to put flat top knuckles on it for a complete high steer conversion. We did most of the work and had some of the axle work done at an off-road shop in Joplin. We sold it to a mechanic buddy 8 years ago and I still miss it sometimes. We’ve had a ‘94 land cruiser with an old man emu lift, it didn’t need much else, they come very well equipped from factory. Dad has it now and I’m planning to get it back from him one day; it’s a beast. Now we have the TJ pictured above. We bought it built, b/c I promised the Mrs that Dad and I wouldn’t build another one after the Cherokee. As I said earlier, it WASN'T cheap. The yellow CJ is Dad’s baby. He has an XJ, a stock old four runner, and the land cruiser I mentioned earlier, but when we go on trips, it’s always the CJ on the trailer.
Wow that’s a tough tow out. It’s an expensive sport. I can tell we gonna be telling stories. I’ve unloaded my hardcore and kept the Hemi GC w mild 3 in lift good for class2-3 trails. I’ve gotten smart and signed on as part time guide at the GB. They have 40 miles of trails up to class 4.5. And I don’t have spend money. Lift kit w Dana axels and lockers. I drove it last wk up 50+ deg grades w no prob. Of course sway bar disconnect. The 4 door great but tricky on break over at top of climbs. I did have back down one assent for second run as I misjudged a rock ledge between trees and lost traction. 2nd run goosed it no prob. Trails too tight w trees for anything wider than jeep. Really like the thing. And THEY do repairs and money!! Hatfield trails are up to double black diamonds as they rate them. Rough mudding.
Never broke anything as you but did high center on a rock mid stream once. Water rushing in cab halfway up doors and we were about to bail out before it swamped when it finally rocked enough to grab traction. Was riding down to the Gauley river gorge. Finished ride down abandoned RR tracks and was more careful w the 2 stream crossings back out.
Sorry to hijack habitat talk but this is fun stuff. I’ll try to post pic of GB rig.
