3pt Tree Puller

[C4Ranch]

Inspired by another thread I thought about making my own. Not having a big enough welder I reached out to my wife's cousin. Sent him a pic and video and asked if he knew someone that could make one. Said looks easy enough, got most of that laying around.
Friday night got this:

By Saturday afternoon got this.
I'm always amazed at what he can build. Would take me weeks of planning and redoing.

Nice! Dose he have any extra material laying around to build me one! Lol

I shot a vid with my iPhone but not sure how to post it.

Need to try again when the ground isn't so dry.

Tried a big tree and hit my 3pt relief. Held up well.

Plus a pic of a small mesquite I pulled. Don't let the size fool ya. The tap root is large.

Good job, mesquite is tough.

 

[C4Ranch]

Thx. I had more of them break off than pull the root. Hoping a little rain will help...

For those that can't build their own tree puller: Buckthorn Puller - Custom built Skid Steer attachments to fit almost any need you may have.

They make them for 3 point also.
