Use Cases

Remove shallow-rooted growth, roots and all

These tools support removal of small trees, shrubs, brush, and brush clumps. They are suited to grounds, landscaping, and property-maintenance work where vegetation needs to be gripped for pulling.

How to Choose

Match the stated gripping or pulling capacity to the vegetation: 1 inch for the hand-operated tool, 2 inches for the mini clamp, 4 inches for the heavy-duty clamp, and 12 or 18 inches for the choker chains.

Applications

Select a connection for the work

The mini pulling clamp is compatible with a lawn tractor or ATV. Choker chains use a tightening loop and three-chain grip system for shrubs and brush clumps, while clamps and the hand tool grip stems with pads and teeth.
