I just got my tree puller back, as it was out on loan for several months. For those that do not know, a tree puller is a long tooth attachment to go the 3pt hitch to pop saplings out out of the ground. (run a search for discussion and pictures..) I was removing a bunch of saplings and draging out some logs where I have cleared out some timber with the dozer. The treepuller attachment is about the best I have found to move logs. I can back right up to the big end of the log slide the teeth under and lift up, throw a chain around the log and off we go. It is easy to keep the puller below the hitch level for the drawbar. And the weight is right there on the rear wheels.. The system is very fast. You do not have to lift the log by hand or roll it over to get the chain under, and it keeps the end from draging the ground and digging in... I have a 8 foot chain that is just the right length to keep several logs on the teeth of the puller... The next best thing to a mini skidder. The only thing that could be faster is a set of timber tongs on a 3pt lift.
