Default Re: Brush Grubber

I'm sure the grubber works good, but I agree with Eddie regarding the effort in case it slipped off.
There is a steep slope behind my log home that is pretty hard to walk up and down. I can get the tractor up most of the way but it is very precarious so I walk a chain up the rest of the way. Walking up that steep slope with several lengths of chain is a killer. I would hate to do it over again if the grubber slipped off. I pulled hundreds of buckbrush out for fire prevention.
I also made a tool out of an old broomstick with a hook on the end. I can throw the choker chain on the ground and fish it out to hook up with the broomstick. This saves a lot of bending over and getting sticks and crap in my eyes, shirt and jeans, let alone getting down in the dirt near the base of the brush in case there's a rattler down there.
