tree/post puller for invasive honeysuckle works great

I built my puller. It is SSQA compatable as well as 3pt. Grapple on the FEL with puller on the 3pt is a great combination clearing spread out invasives.

would agree and I wish I had these skills. Many times over the years I have realized I chose the wrong profession/trade and have thought about going back to school for welding/fab/hydraulics/electric. I just did not have exposure/good teacher in these areas.

Me too... However I did purchase a 3 Point Hitch to Skid Steer Quick Attach adapter & as @ovrszd said it really is nice having the flexibility of putting it on the 3-pt (has greater lift capacity too)... It's also nice to have the adapter for putting the forks on the 3-pt at times.

Willing to share a link where you would recommend purchasing a 3pt to SSQA adapter?

Can't remember if you have a Grapple? If so, might be worth your time to load your puller in the back of your truck and visit a welding shop for a quote on adding 3pt tabs. It shouldn't be too costly. Or better yet, a friend with skills might like to pick up a little cash doing it for you.

@mtsman2 - I purchased one from Titan a few years ago when it was on sale... looks like they currently do not have them in-stock but if you google "3 Point Hitch to Skid Steer Quick Attach adapter" you will get a bunch of different options. I won't say the one we have is the most robust unit but it has worked well for us (however it was half of the current price when we purchased it on sale)...
