Tree Getter Ver 2.0

[TraderMark]

I can't believe it's been 10 years since I built my first "tree getter" and posted a pic of it here.

Well that little attachment worked so well that when I got my Case 1845 skid steer I decided to build a bigger, better, faster, stronger "tree getter" to use on the Case.

Here's what I came up with. It's so much faster and stronger than the 3ph version on the back of the 1720.

Now if I can just get that rake grapple finished for the FEL on the 1720!

Looks great. :thumbsup:

One question what are the two wide gaps in the teeth spacing for?

 

[TraderMark]

diesel,
The wide gaps are just my effort to save a little steel mostly.
Most of the trees I pull up are single trees, though now and then I can get pairs or tiplets in a single pass.

The wide gap also helps some when I have to dig down and get out a small stump or a wad of vine roots. The roots of the vines around my place look sorta like sweet potatoes all grown together in a wad and can be pretty darned tough to get out of the ground.
