Thought you would like to know about the run we had this evening. An elderly lady was mowing her grass with a larger John Deere mower 4200 model and tried to go under a tree that had fallen. The roll bar on the tractor caught the tree and it dropped approximately three foot coming to rest on the steering wheel and finder of the tractor. The bad news was her hand and arm were between the tree and steering wheel. The tree was approximately 18" in diameter. We wrapped a chain around the tree and used two of the jacks to lift the tree and two of the stabilizer jacks to support the tree as we lifted it.
There were a lot of bystanders and two sheriff deputy's that were really impressed. The Sheriff Deputy was so impressed he took pictures. If I get any of the pictures I will send you copies. Could help sell another unit.
All I can say is the jacks really work!!
We also had a car wreck and had to use the jacks, but the tree rescue was made easy with the jacks.
Thanks,
