tree grubber.

Several people have mentioned these, so I thought I would post some pics of the most recent one I made. I made one 25 years ago and cleared 5 ac. with it and an old WD Allis Chalmers.

Looks great. Do you have some pics of the grubber in operating position and results afterward? Limit to the size tree grubbed would be?

That WD with the hand clutch would seem to be ideal for using behind one of your grubbers. A foot (regular) clutch might take a beating, but I suspect the new HST would work well with one.

I made this with scrap junk I had laying around.
Just back up to a small tree with the lift lowered till the tree is in the notch , then raise the lift and back up at the same time and the tree pops out. This is a 2" poplar

Here you can see the p[oplar with it's tap root hanging under the puller

You can see that I put a 2" reciever in so I can move trailers around. The pipe with the plate on top is to move my 5th wheel camper around. I have to take the toolbox out of the truck and then install the hitch, so this makes it easier

Here is a close up of the 5th wheel hitched

Here it is with the 5th wheel raised ready to move

I also made me a set of forks for the loader. I used 2 X 2 Sq tubing with 1/4 " walls. The bucket has holes already so I just driller and tapped the tubing, and thread 2 -1/2" X 1 1/2" bolts thru the existing holes into the tubing.
Neither of these projects took very long and both will made life easier for me, so I will have more porch time

Beenthere, The size tree it will take out varies with the type tree, soil conditions, and size of tractor. With my 3000 Ford, and in our NC red clay I can easily take out a 4" black pine, poplar, wild cherry, cedar, ect. Oak, Hickory, sweet gum is tougher, maybe 3". I cleared a 2 acre Plum thicket and lot's of them were over 4", course the roots run right on top of the ground.
