That is an elm I would guess around here they get that size in about 5 years. Got a bunch of then I have had to cut out from around the house here. They shoot up like weeds here.

I've never had to remove a tree from a tractor. Had to remove one from the flippers on a NH spreader one time. That was a fun one

There's a B at my uncle's that has a mulberry that came up from under the mower, alongside the engine and through the hole in the hood beside the muffler. Wife snapped a picture. Maybe should post it?

My b had a black walnut grow up through the right front spindle got so big it dented the hood in about 6 inches. Didn't bend the wheel or the spindle. Spent a day cutting the tree down and off the tractor. Got the tractor home took to the stump with a sawszall ruined three blades, kept hitting something really hard. Finally carved it down and found a splitting wedge buried deep in the wood. Got pictures somewhere I'll try to post.

That kinda reminds me of cutting firewood.
Twice in my life i have hit a bullet that was buried way inside a log. First one was a jacketed one and it took the chain out.
Second was a lead conical ball. Cut right through that one.

I wish I could remember where I saw it, but there was a picture of a restored tractor and the tree (or a chunk of it) was left in place on the tractor as part of the restoration. Bob@allisdowneast

I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure.

I just bought an ac disk and it had a tree big as that tractor grown up in it, I'm going to dread the day of attempting removal.

I always figured you might be best to disassemble as a much as you could then nuts burn the wood out of where ever it is left. Wouldn't have to burn it much before it would be loose.

It's taken over the outside two blades would be hard to disassemble.
