3 Things Do With a Tree Puller-None Were Pulling Trees

- Опубликовано: 15 авг 2024
- Most of the time I use my new Gator Tree Puller for just what it's designed for. You can use the hydraulics of the tractor to grab a tree or large bush and pull it out of the ground by the roots. But last weekend, I had three jobs to use the new tree puller for, and they were tasks not about pulling trees. It's a versatile tractor attachment.
The first thing I did was use it to dig. You can't do this with all tree pullers, but the Gator has an extended front blade made of T-1 Steel that enables it to also function as a stump remover. I was able to take an 8-10" oak stump out of the ground that I had feared I would forget about and my bush hog would end up on top of it. Removing stumps is not an easy or a fast job, but it beats trying to burn them or having to rent a stump grinder.
Second thing I did with the tree puller was dig out an old fence. We have a new neighbor with a landscape company and he did some work around an old split-rail fence that separates our property. We both agreed that it would probably look nice when he started, but when he was done, no one liked the look of it. So, I needed to get in to pull the posts out without disturbing the landscaping. Perfect job for a tree puller! Tough on a video camera when you forget how far everything is sticking out!
The final job didn't get completed. I have a big rock in my ditch that the mower would probably clip so I decided to try to dig it out. Sometimes you get to a job that's too big for you and I know when to quit. After 20 minutes of digging and no movement from the rock I gave up. Lesson here is to know when you're whupped!
I may get out this next weekend and do some more cleaning out of fence rows and ditches with the Gator. It's one of my favorite attachments!

Thanks for the cautions of overworking a tractor. Very helpful.
Thanks Mike. Good advice about the tractor. It is not a bull dozier as some folks may treat it. Enjoyed a full-watch. Have a fine week.
I got another toy to add to my list. That tree puller did awesome. Thanks for sharing
Another good video Mike. I had a rock like that. It was up far enough it was an issue mowing. So I hooked up my back how on. Well long story short, that rock did in your words was the size of a VW it was 6 feet long, 4 feet wide and 4 feet high. Red granite and yea my back how got it out, and there it laid. It was too big for my tractor to lift and move. We ended up flipping it onto 6X6 and dragging it out near the property entryway. If I would have known it was that big we would have kept mowing around it and using a weed eater. But once ya start its hard to be defeated.
Nice job on the Oak stump. If its not rotten you should give it to a local wood turner. They could make a bowl or vase for you. Thank you for great advice on tractors!!
Definitely another handy attachment!
Rocks are like iceburgs. 90% are underground. I had many, sticking up through my lawn.They are almost as big as my truck. Bought a medium sized hammerdrill and some feathers and wedges. (all under $300) I learned from RUclips how to split rock. It's fun. I dig around it with the backhoe and only split the top that sticks out of the ground. Then I cover it up, rake and seed it, and you would never know it was there.
I'd love to see the size of that rock someday! Thanks for the video. Cheers!
I enjoyed the video Mike, thanks. I also have a tree puller and it comes in very handy. Good luck on all your projects.
I've found that for smaller stumps (like you showed) that have remained in the ground for a couple of years, normal pallet forks will cut the roots fairly well, and then the stump can be removed either by lifting out with chains attached to the lifting hooks on a bucket or pulling out with chains attached to the draw bar. (Don't try to lift the stump out with the pallet forks!!!) And of course pulling up fence posts by wrapping chains around them and lifting is quite simple. Big rocks, of course, generally require lots of digging, and if they're really big, are well beyond the capability of even a large compact tractor with backhoe.
I was going to mention pallets forks as well. I strapped them together and dug up a stump quite effectively. You can set the back on the ground and roll the bucket for more power, and stab into the ground to cut the roots.
I need to make a little tip that holds them together and has a sharper edge...
Interesting, Mike! From what little we can see, the entrance landscaping looks great.
Thanks for the tips, pretty helpful
Grind stumps is best. These" tree pullers" things are too much wear/tear/time on a tractor. Good way to damage loader also if not careful. Great thought to always keep in mind " tractor not a bulldozer" 👍
I use a stump bucket. It is like having a five foot long crowbar. With 3 teeth on the end of it.
It is a lot stronger than the flimsy JD 553 loader. I have removed 12" locust trees with it.
Very nice! Sort of a horizontal grapple :)
I have plucked out some big rocks using a sub soiler plough. getting the tip under it with a little purchase then lift up keeping a bit of pressure on it to pull it out. The last one I had like that I could not lift with the front loader and had to roll it to the side. I still have to break that one up somehow to get it away from wher it is now.
Hey I also live in the ozarks. My first ever tractor is being delivered in 2 days. Sure am kinda nervous. I bought a new kabota mk5600. 55 hp turbo 4 cylinder hopefull I can level my 20 achers a bit and remove some trees
i like your acronym for stop signs at the ten minute mark. "Spin Tires On Pavement " another one i heard was Stop Teasing Our Police:) Yeah i guess when you have to be "creative" with not quite the right tool there are extra points to consider when it comes to equipment stress or damage.
Good video
Good job.
Better safe then sorry
And you can over beat a dozer also lol
You know if you put concrete against a treated post it makes it rot faster for some reason I can't figure that out
Why didn't you cut it off closer to the ground so the brush hog won't hit it?
Good job Mike. Your poor camera 😂
wont take much for a kubota m 6 or m7 yank that big rocks out
I'd like to know what size your New Holland tractor is because I bought a 75 horsepower cab tractor that is kind of a small frame for a New Holland and it's 2 wheel drive but I just bought it to plow with my daughter loves it
It's a TC40, 40 hp engine.
Dynamite could be another solution. Absolutely you can bend a loader, my neighbour bent up his new chinese Foton Lovol tractor with loader, what a mess.
You had me at dynamite!
Best done with a borrowed machine
Couldn't you stab in vertically and cut the branch roots in the ground?
Thanks for your information. I have a long and narrow strip of land with hardwoods on each side. I plan to cut the trees down and do row crops there. How do I get rid of the roots enough to plow this field? After cutting down the trees, the field would measure about 30 feet x 120 feet. Also, in areas near where the previous owner demolished the farm house, I find bricks buried under the ground. I am thinking a sub soiler would be good to do both jobs. I have a MF 150, gas, 45 hp. What do you say?
How big are the trees? Getting the root ball out is going to be a challenge and it's going to leave the ground really rough. It takes a lot of horsepower to pull a subsoiler that would dig roots and stumps out. I'd probably cut the trees close to the ground then rent a stump grinder to eliminate most of the stump and then try to work it up. Hard to say without knowing how big the trees are. If they're small, the tree puller would yank them out of the ground and then you could plow.
Renting a mini excavator and pushing the trees over might also be an option instead of cutting them. Gets a good chunk of the root balls out along with the tree, and probably not much more expensive than renting a stump grinder.
👍
What size tractor are ya using, the brand, & horspower.
New Holland TC40, 40 engine horsepower.
@@TractorMike Okie dokie, awesome! Thankya sir for responding. Your videos are enjoyable.
Trust me, you can overload and tear up a d8 cat by overworking it. Just know the limits if your equipment.
There’s a reason this wasn’t invented a long time ago.
Привіт!👍👍👍👍
