Brush Grubber BG-10 Post/Tree Puller

It is strong. I use a 105 hourse kubota tractor and fand one that the tractor can't lift. "It is strong"

Great idea, but Absolutely Useless!!! Just strips the bark without gripping the tree. Most expensive - and heaviest - paperweight I ever bought.

has required multiple repairs starting with the very first time it was used.Weld at retaining pin broke twice.Blade bent and required straightening twice.Bolts for locking to forks immediately stripped out. Have replace welded nuts and bolts with fine thread.The basic problem is that a stump can be crabbed with one blade up and the other flat. This is particularly probable in situations where the forklift driver can't see both blades. With the two different forklifts I have used, the driver can't usually see the right hand blade and thus can't tell if it is flat or angled up. if it is flat, the lifting force it to great on the down travel limit pin and tends to bend it or rip up the weld on the steel the pin is welded to (separate it from the actual blade piece). When lifting flat, the blade assembly does not have enough strength to avoid getting bend downwards. Maybe a bit higher stop point would insure the blades are angled up when actually lifting a tree out of the ground.

Built very heavy no problem

The first tree I used it on was about a 4 inch mulberry. The stop rod broke off and also the plate bent. Not too impressed with it. The thought behind it is great, and works well on posts, but that's about it.
