Titan Tree Puller

The tree puller is by far my most fun attachment - ripping trees out just gets the testosterone flowing! It can be a one person job, but if you are doing a lot of little trees, having a second person to grab and stack really speeds things up.

When you are done pulling, then it's time to get the most useful attachment - a grapple! Drive in, pick up the pile and dump on a raging fire!

Thin it's time to "tend to the fire" with a nice cold beverage... and you didn't even work up a sweat.

Yep...grapple is on the buy list. Getting the MTL unit as I will not be doing big stuff and it has good reviews from others. No need to spend $3k for a small property owner.

Pretty much with madhouse, but we make wildlife brush piles. We ave used ours on tractors from a Kioti CK27 to our M8540HDC. My brother is the repairman, fabricator, so he did the comparisons. The low cost kind of worried me, but as usual, he was right.

Forgot about this thread! I ended up building it myself and it’s a beast! I DO plan to build a small hydraulic grapple on the upper guard to hold the tree upright. I have LOTS of skinny saplings and this would keep them from breaking while moving. (No matter how careful I can be, they still snap especially when pulling them out from thick stands.

Well Done Aquamoose - it does look like a beast!

Aquamoose,
Very nice build!!!!

I like the idea of the upper guard to keep stuff from tilting back onto the cab. Not sure it that happens when using one, but cheap insurance.
