Tree Pullers for Skid Steers

Removing invasive saplings and fence posts by hand is back-breaking work. A skid steer tree puller transforms your machine into a precise removal tool, plucking vegetation root and all. This essential attachment is a key part of our Skid Steer Attachments lineup for land management.

Built from high-tensile steel, these units feature aggressive jaws powered by a heavy-duty hydraulic cylinder. 

The serrate teeth grip the trunk securely, while the guard protects the operator from falling brush. Unlike Skid Steer Tree Shears, a puller removes the entire root ball to prevent regrowth.This tree puller is a versatile tool that saves time and money on every job site. It doubles as a post puller for fencing projects and easily handles rock removal. Pair it with one of our Skid Steer Grapples to speed up the final cleanup of debris.
