The 'Grubber' pullers work very good...but they work a whole bunch better if you have a ground man...otherwise it's a lot of getting on and off the tractor...
I agree. I used the grubber a lot in the past few years with a 3120, 29hp, but it is slow alone. I can sometimes park the tractor and get several in one area with a long chain before moving, but that depends on the roots. I have found the most strength on mine from laying the bucket flat and curling in the chain, or using the 3 point and lifting straight up with it. On some stubborn ones I have wrapped the chain around my weight box, lowered it to just above the brush stump, attached the grubber, then while lifting up, I back over it in four wheel low. It will ease out some bigger stumps but it is still slow and I have bent the upright top link on the box when I attached it too high. I plan to try to use it with a jack or engine puller this spring to see if it is any quicker. I would move it in the woods with the tractor and then just lower the unit down to the stump. If you search 'stump puller' on this site there have been some real good ideas posted in the past. Some of the more talented members have made some real effective attachments for their area and machines. Good luck.
