Man I'm hoping!!

wait a minute you are going to pay for a new bucket... just for more pulling force? huh?

me thinks ya need to go look at some of them... tree pulling threads.

FEL = lower pressure, compare to other methods.

Did it help?

Did it help?

Yes it did.. much better pry power.

Still have to figure out how to work it better with the HST trans.. Apparently it operates different than with a gear drive

On an hst if you need more power you up the throttle and back off the go pedal..

It's a Bradco Jawz tree and post puller. These videos are without any 3pt ballast. With 1000lbs of concrete plus the loaded tires it will pull even larger trees. Very low impact compared to a backhoe. Pull and shake out the roots over the hole. I've found that if I curl the "bucket" I get the highest "break out force" (3100lbs on my loader). If you combine the curl with driving forward you combine the forces to some degree for even more force. It really is very impressive. Way more capability than I would have guessed. If you have overgrown woodlands it is a useful tool.

It's expensive (like $3k+). I got it for about $2k because my Kubota dealer is awesome. I thing Everything Attachments sells them too. You can find multiple build threads on TBN and cheaper manufactured units online. Most of them have one stationary and one moving jaw. I wanted two moving jaws and good visibility because I also use it for moving and placing boulders. After much thought I decided that this tooth pattern was best (but I've only ever used one).
