If you find yourself needing to remove saplings and small trees, you need a Pullerbear. This thing is a beast. Look at the ridiculous taproot on that hackberry stump. Yoinked it right out of the ground like pulling a weed in the garden. My only complaint is the feet are too small for soft ground, and it tends to sink in when you lever it over. But a medium sized steel plate placed under it solves that problem. I've had it for a couple years and it's sturdy enough that I expect to have it for the rest of my life. They'll even weld your name on the handle to make it tough for your neighbor to steal after they see you yanking trees out with it... #grownostr #tools https://nostr.build/i/b741e2078f04bf6d1b9df03bbf70a2a08a9d74cef2691eda30cac5636a08f498.jpg (I have no connection to this product other than as a satisfied customer who wishes he had discovered it a decade earlier.)

That's pretty neat, how big of a sapling do you think it can pull? I have an invasion of sweet gum saplings on the back of my property.
I found their website, gonna have to order one. Thank you.

The jaws on the model I have will open up to about 3", and I've pulled trees over 2" with it, but it can be a struggle if the tree has lots of side roots. I think it's pretty dependent on your soil and what type of tree you're pulling. Our soil here is a loamy clay, and I can only pull the bigger stuff during the wet spring season. Once the ground dries up in summer, it locks those roots in solid. You can get a lot of leverage with this tool, but if the ground is too hard, you'll just break off the tree at the stump. It helps sometimes to cut around the tree and slice through some of the upper roots with a spade. I use a "Root Slayer" shovel, which is another tool I wish I had discovered ten years earlier. It's an indispensable tool for any transplanting work. https://radiusgarden.com/products/root-slayer
