IMHO, any day that you feel well enough to go cut down a tree is a good day.

I didn't realize I was having so many good days after these hurricanes we have been having.

It was about eight, but a few of them were under 2" diameter, so I'm not sure they count even though they were about 20' tall. Two were about 4" and one was closer to 6".

I never feel like cutting a tree down. But I sure feel like pulling them up

Those are really cool pictures. You can pull those trees straight out of the ground with that machine? Amazing strength, shallow roots or both I imagine.

Yep it can pull most straight up. The ones it can't pull, I have to grab higher and push back and forth as it pulls up, to break the roots loose from the clay soil.

Here is the view from the seat of a 4 or 5 inch diameter trunk. Driving up to it:

Clamped on:

Pulled:

Shook the dirt off:

And it is not a big monster huge machine:

Get one, you will be amazed at what it can do!

If the tree is too big for the puller, it gets pushed over, like this dead oak tree four years ago:

Reached in and extended the boom some more:

Found the balance point and took it to the burn pile:

Get one,

35 grand for an '11, 56 grand for a '19

You buying?
