I think the same premise could be applied to a dingo, the little two wheeler made by Toro, you could whip out acres in a day instead of one by one by hand, I live in Minnetonka Minnesota where the city used to lend these out for buckthorn removal, but they now believe that disturbing the ground is too much chance of seed collection of other invasive species, so they recommend herbicide and a snip, but tripping over those old stumps sucks, so on the search for one of these
Looks like a great tool, especially for woody plants like spurge laurel, scotch broom and cedar Do you think it would work on Himalayan blackberry? (It about killed me to watch you pull up cedar! Do you think enough root on cedar remains for it to be replanted in a better location?)
Couple things here: yes, works great for woody plants. Blackberry might be tough. I’d be that the stalk would crush and tear. It’s worth a shot though. And for replanting the cedar, I think it’s more of a matter of the bark tearing away where the jaws pull on it. The roots come out solid- but not damaging the cambium would be more tough. When I’m trying to pull cedars to replant, I usually do that by hand when they’re shorter than about 12”.
What I have heard from people who have successfully gotten rid of their blackberry is that the solution is a 2 day goat heard rental. Give them 2 days to eat, then get them gone before the seeds pass through.
Thanks for the demo ,I'm going to build this principle for my tractor
I’ve often thought about this unit but run off of a hydraulic cylinder on a tractor hydraulic remote line. Keep me updated 👍

Wow really cool tool! Great video
Hello Sir.can i use this tool to pull out a rebar from the ground?
It probably would work well for that. It may need some jaw modification so that they don’t slip.
