Fighting a Monster sized Stump with undersized equipment

What happens here

The Bobcat 325 mini excavator is carefully loaded onto a red Diamond C trailer, which features sturdy ramps and chains for secure transport. The trailer is then hitched to a white Ford F-Series pickup truck, prominently branded "Dirt Monkey Inc." The crew discusses the need for specialized 2.5-inch thick wood planks to reinforce the trailer ramps for the heavy equipment. A crew member (Sam) is shown driving the truck and trailer combination to the job site in Maple Grove, detailing the approximately 50-minute commute. The journey involves navigating highways and residential streets, showcasing the logistics of transporting heavy machinery.

Goal: Safely transport heavy equipment to the job site.
