Brush Grubber Heavy-Duty Triple Chain Shrub and Clump Remover Tool, 4-Foot Pulling System - High-Visibility Extractor for Bushes, Woody Weeds, Roots & Overgrowth, ATV, UTV or Tractor Use

Works great!

Purchased the product, cleared nearly 10 acres before breaking it and that was my fault. Product worked great on brush and small trees. Wasn't until I started using it for larger trees that things started going bad. First was the slip loop. It became oblong, but it still worked. Finally the chains broke, not the slip loop, when I tried removing a larger tree that was probably 6-8 inches. Purchased another one. Now will using it only on smaller brush and tress, what it was designed for. Tip, straighten the chains before every use and when you wrap it around try and get it so that the grabbers are facing in and the smooth part of the chains are facing out. That way they don't hook on the slip loop.

We're using this to pull out old lavender plants and get ready to plant new ones. VERY fast! 35 plants out in 20 minutes, with only one person. Half of that time was jumping in and out of the truck to attach the chain to the next plant! Gentle pressure just pops the plant out, roots and all.

Wishing it would choke plant quicker. Pulling out shrubs well if big enough. We have wild legustrums everywhere.

I absolutely love this contraption!I'm going to bore you with a story here......A few years ago I was offroading and got stuck and had to have a friend pull me out. After that incident, I installed a 13,000 lb winch (it pulls that much, it doesn't weigh that much :) on my 4Runner so I wouldn't get stuck again and look cool, too.Well, I haven't had to use the winch one single time on another vehicle (unless you count a golf cart--which could have been unstuck by a 10 year-old pushing but I wanted to use the winch anyway) but I've used it tons of times pulling out shrubs/bushes/small trees.Before I got this Brush Grubber I had just been using a tow strap wrapped around what I was trying to pull out. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it just slipped off. Eventually, after several tries the tow strap method worked, but it was a real hassle.I've got a summer project coming up that will require a bushel of bushes (i.e., a lot) to be uprooted so I picked up this Brush Grubber that looks like something a Medieval agent of torture would use. When I pulled it from the box, I could hear the bushes shiver in fear.This thing has worked fantastic! So far I've used it on about 6 bushes/small trees of varying sizes and it has worked great--MUCH better than my tow strap! Ha ha. The bigger stuff which has a nice meaty trunk for this chain to bite into does really well. Smaller bushes that have less of a trunk and more of just a bunch of large stalky weeds growing out of the ground can require some careful placement of the chain, but I was able to pull them out with no problem.It's a pretty hefty chain and I've had no problems with the rings deforming in the short time I've used it. I've pulled on some things pretty hard that had my 13,000 pound winch working for its money and haven't noticed any ill affects on any parts of the chain.I'm very impressed with this unit and happy with my purchase.

The first time I used this it broke. The chain broke at the weld points. I was using a lawn tractor pulling a bush out when it broke. there was very little force being applied. The fact that it broke at the weld point on two different links without distorting/stretching the rest of the links points to a failure root cause being a poor weld on the chain link. I also purchased a BG-11. The first use 1 of the teeth fell out. This should be a press fit at the very least. since only clamp force is applied the root cause appears to be dimensional inaccuracy of the drilled hole.As you can imagine I was very disappointed in both products from the moment I received them with a big made in china sticker. Then both items failed in the first use with minimal force applied.I amazon return window has already closed so I have reached out to the company asking for a warranty exchange. I will update with the result when I have it.

Have no doubt, this thing works! It pulled all stumps at most on the second try. Some stumps that have larger, or deeper roots may need some assistance, but unless you have a tractor, this is a good well-built tool, which will save time and labor. I attached an extended chain, and hooked to a 20-year-old Silverado with 2-wheel drive, and I am very pleased with the overall results. The picture shows a second attempt pull once I cut some surrounding roots with a mattaxe, and then was able to obtain a better grip on the stump. This one was very deeply embedded in the soil.

Using to pull dead shrubs and trees from water line at lake. This thing is brilliant and IMO priceless as it made light work of a otherwise strenuous job. Quality is good, looks like it will basically last forever.

Awesome tool! Many bushes and shrubs to remove and this brush grubber was a big help!

It works exactly as it is supposed to work!!

Heavier duty than I thought. Works good on medium size alder clumps. On thin clumps, it slides over and is ineffective. A finer chain might do better. Might add it to their product line.

Works just like a chain you already have. wont grab the small stuff, it just slide off and the big stuff it breaks off leaving the stem and roots intact. I am trying to pull buckthorn it just peels off all the leaves and berries so I'm actually making it worse when the seeds propagate.I sure hope I can fine another use for it around the property.
