"Make no cut before it's time" I'm going to use that quote going forward.
This grubber looks like it would work better than the one made this past weekend using the same pipe concept.
Yes I used that quote alot in wood working! Thanks
It just keeps getting better & better. I was going to make a grubber 3.0, but now I plan on a 4.0
seems to work as intended. i can see the need for this
That’s awesome!!!! 0 failure points!
That is nicely done. One thing I thought of doing is putting a small serrated edge on the end of the pipe. It doesnt have to be much of one, but I find it does really well on those slippery suckers like cedar or even thorned berry bushes. Just a thought.
Wish I had thought of that. Could just take an angle grinder and lightly touch the end. The cedar was so flimsy it offered no resistance to allow the chain to tighten. Thanks for watching
What did you use to lubricate your saw blade with before the cut? Does it help extend blade life? Them things are expensive! I made an early version and love it. Thx. Scott. Vass, NC
Scott, I had to watch the video to see what you were mentioning. It is called
CRL Tube Wax Lubricant, purchased on Amazon. I think it helps extend the life but can’t prove it. Since cutting oil is similar probably need to apply the wax a few times while making the cut. Hope all is well in NC. I worked in Durham and found it beautiful!
Nice
I am going to make one with teeth on the end to stop slipping
Don’t make the serrations too deep or you stand the chance of cutting through. Thanks
@@TripleTRanchAndSawmill exactly
What’s the advantage of this over taking a chain and wrapping it around the trunk of the tree a few times and then hooking the chain hook to itself.
The chain choke works most of the time with 2 wraps on 1” saplings, but grub 3 works every-time (except as shown with the run over cedar). The chain crushes but the pipe bites. Thanks
Seems good , But you have a tractor you could use a root rake . or cut and spray . to much time and fuel for one sapling at a time . Good but you must do better.
Cooper I use an old backhoe alot but sometimes you have to reach out. Thanks
@@TripleTRanchAndSawmill what about a choke cable , We use to use a choke cable for logs never slipped rare but if did wet bark and such , we would wrap twice or three . So I am thinking instead of a pipe. a smaller choke cable or maybe 2 or 3 connected to a chain so you can pull 2 or 3 at the same time . Its almost like the pipe but its the wire wrap that holds the tree . Just a thought from copper not cooper. I am an old logger I sub hope you don't mind a little criticism ?
@copperjacket00 none taken! I have done the chain multiwraps around multiple saplings at once too. The grub pipe is another tool that is good for getting small saplings. I did another version with just a slot in the pipe for the hook. Thanks for watching !
Meant to say another grubber with a hook hold similar to slot version but can reach into the briars with one hand hook ups.
What size is the pipe? 2" or 2 1/2"?
2 7/8 OD 2.44” ID. Diameter is dependent on your chain hook width.
Pretty sure I can make something much better
LOL, I totally agree! Especially if doesn’t have a microprocessor, a few bits of available memory, and an interrupt service routine!!!!!!!!
Useless dumas😂
