    Making a ground anchor where none exists

    Eric my favorite tool for pulling trees is the Masdaam A20 rope puller. I have found that 1500# is more than enough oomph in most cases and it certainly does less damage to the the grass than a truck. We very rarely use the truck to pull.

    Making a ground anchor where none exists

    The military has specs in thier old rigging manuals, You can as you say drive rebar into the ground and lash them together, Different amounts and depths as well as lashing methods will provide different strengths. We use the screw in ones with a simple auger on the bottom, about 3 or 4 feet...
