Fortunately, some varieties of mesquite have no thorns. But the issue here was not thorns, was it....? Pretty tough for such a little tree aren't they?
You were supposed to be hitting the high spots, not the side spots.

Their roots go ~straight down until they find water, so they are pretty well anchored.
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.

Yes, thorns were not a concern, they are heavily rooted, all I did was knock some bark off of it and tire mark it. IT was hard to read the tracks as they were pretty light but I went from a high spot to a hard spot.dustymojave wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2017 4:18 pm Fortunately, some varieties of mesquite have no thorns.
