We couldn't drag it straight up from the creek like I had imagined, so we set up to roll it out sideways. My cable is wrapped around the base of the stump near the root ball about 4x, and Greg's has a half wrap farther up at the Y, which is why our cables cross. We threw my old '83 Bronco frame into the creek last year as a bridge, so as the root ball rolls, it hits that, helping to force the ball up & onto the edge of the creek.

Mine is doing most of the work because Greg's DiscoII has a weaker alternator & a single battery, and every time he loads his winch, the BCM sets a bunch of low-voltage fault codes, which he had to keep clearing out every few seconds to keep the engine running.
