Hydraulic-Operated Post Puller Doubles As Tree Remover

Hydraulic-Operated Post Puller Doubles As Tree Remover FENCING Tools 24-3-20 "Our new hydraulic post puller saves a lot of time and labor. It lets one person use a tractor or skid steer loader to quickly remove posts and hardly ever have to get off the tractor," says Dennis Fisher, DSLA Co., Sisseton, S. Dak. The unit can be used with a tractor 3-pt. or, by using an adapter kit, mounted on any skid steer loader bucket. It's equipped with hydraulic-operated jaws that clamp onto the post. The jaws are powered by a cylinder that operates off the tractor hydraulics. The 3-pt., or the skid steer loader, does the lifting. The jaws are designed to grip firmly onto many different shapes and will handle anything from steel posts to railroad ties. "It really works great on a skid steer loader. The operator has a great view when pulling posts and, with the bucket tipped down, can even see the jaws so he can pick posts up off the ground. You can let your skid loader handle those heavy corner posts whether you're putting them into a new post hole or loading them on a flatbed," says Fisher. "The unit also works great for removing shallow-rooted trees and shrubs. We've used it to pull volunteer 4-in. Russian Olives and some evergreen trees with ease." Sells for $589 plus S&H.
