My version of a tree puller, used forks and cylinders for $250, I made the hinges and frame from metal I had, total time about 2 solids days of work.
Had to reinforce it once, I underestimated the tractor's power. If the tree can't pulled out, I close the forks and dig up and break the roots first. Also have to be aware of what part of the forks that is clamped onto the tree, if it's close to the frame and I get rough, it will break off the tree.

Like that katoomed00!

Good idea, katoomed00 :thumbsup:

It probably works better than the one I bought!!

Very serious implement! How big/what kind of tree will it pull? Thx for posting.

I removed a 6" Live Oak , but the Chinese Talons are the toughest, the tap root even on a small tree is deeper than I thought, Like I said dig up the roots then no problem pushing the tree over without destroying it. I've even dug up a couple of 24" stumps. My thoughts behind this set was that I would never have to worry about bending the forks and so far it's been a mule. I have them on a 50HP TYM and it will lift up the back end with my Mott88 flail mower attached.

My cultipacker, finally assembled last weekend:
http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/316163-cultipacker-build.html
Still need to add a feature for lifting it with a chain, so I can put it in the back of the shed over the winter.
Also needs a kickstand so it won't flop over - it's heavy and I don't need a broken foot.
Also needs to have some grinding/de-spattering done & then some paint sprayed on it.
Got my Valspar orange paint ready to go.

Simple homemade Handi-Hitch attachment, but nearly everybody has one! Don't worry, the pins were just turned in while I was finishing it up.

Looks great.

I've been looking for a combo like that + with welded on HD tubes for mounting the hay-spears. I have no welder, but seen a youtube video of a person in Europe with what you have and the hayspear setup too. It was very multi-combi to do many things.

I'm in the process of making one right now for a Cat 3 (Ford TW30). Did find one for sale on ebay that fits Category 1.

I made this for cleaning up tree branches after felling a tree. The tines can float to follow terrain or be arrested. I cut off part of my finger when pulling this thing off in the dark and finding it had a nasty pinch hazzard on account of that floating design.

I hope it wasn,t your social finger ! ---- Cheers --- Tony.

I'm poor, but not without rich ideas. I turned my box-blade into a BIG carry all tool.

 

[wmonroe]

Nice!

 

[bmaverick]

Well, this isn't so much of an attachment, but how to use one in a totally different way.

Again, I used my box-blade for this easy feat. How to lift a 261-lbs 330-foot horse fence roll without breaking your back while moving it across the pasture.

Well, the pix uploader put the order in backwards. Take two joined coated 6-foot cables, feed it through the fence bundle as shown, and clip it onto the box-blade. Jump on the tractor, raise the lift and away you go.

I am trying to see how you anchored the 2x4's to the box blade but cant determine. Next to last picture appears to show bolt going through ripper into 2x4. Is that correct?
