Recently I've noticed a few farmers are bringing in large track-hoes and cleaning out tree rows along the edge of their property after the crops were harvested. I'm guessing the tree rows were once fence rows.

I can see how your tree puller might work on brush and small trees, but the large ones the farmers are removing will require a bigger gun.

The boss wants brush removed from gravel pit so she can plant flowers. The small stuff, Asian honeysuckle, mulberry, other small trees, I can dig out with terramite. The bigger stuff gets cut with chainsaw, stumps remain. Now she wants hillsides cleared. Places that a backhoe can't reach. I use log chains, climb the hill and attach chain as high up as possible on tree. The higher you pull, the more leverage. Tree roots pull out or snap off. One tree had large roots, one side came out the other side I had to remove dirt with water hose and then cut them with chainsaw.

So if you tree puller can't get it done, try using a chain attached as high as you can on tree.

I've been thinking of using straps instead of G70 chains. It's a workout pulling 100 ft of chain up a hillside. Using chains works better if someone is on tractor and the other is climbing the hill.

Please post pics of you tree puller working.
