I need something to pull privet hedge up by the roots. Everything I try will slip off the trunk when I pull. Any ideas? Thanks , Tommy
 
Northern Handyman sells a tool with teeth that grabs into trunk of what ever your pulling. I always just wrapped a smaller chain around the bottom 2 or 3 times
 
weedwrench...

was made by a fellow on the west coast...but unsure f he's still in business.

I have several. They are well built.

Go to brushgrubber dot com. I bought the standard brush grubber and use it in my skidder . Works great. They also have one that has several chains with cleats on them for hedge type brush.
 
I made one similar to one I saw in Farmshow. It is about 1 foot long piece of 3" pipe with a grab hook welded to the side. The end of the pipe was cut with a torch & not cleaned up. Just drop the chain through the pipe, take it around the brush etc & hook the chain on the hook welded to the pipe. When you pull on it, the chain pulls the brush against the pipe & it doesn't slip. Works good!

I made one of those years ago. It will never slip but will sometimes pinch a small tree/bush into.
Perfect and fast for pulling steel and wood post.
I made another so that I could place one on each side of a chain link post, that was to be reused, so that it would pull straight up.
 
Like the other poster, I wrap the chain a few times, then pull slowly which will make the wrap squeeze.
Lots of little trees, I wrap and connect to a lot of of them at once, all trunks have their own wrap.

Hedges? do a lot of digging too.
They are tougher than they look.
With a steady pull, no jerk, I snapped a front stub axle on a Bronco once, on a pathetic looking shrub.
very, very loud bang LOL
 
Wrap the chain correctly and you can pull anything. Go around the base two times wrapping each loop above the last. Then take the end and cross over your chain (that goes out to the tractor) and make the last wrap in the opposite direction. Hook it where you can. No matter what, it will cinch down. You could pull the tail off a pig that way.
 
I like the looks of the Northern Tool puller and I saw the one in Farm show with the short pipe couple of years ago. There is a Norrthern store in Macon, about an hour away. I may see if they keep the grabber in stock. Meanwhile I will use a pipe and chain and try that. Thanks for all the ideas. I will try to come back and let you know how it worked. Tommy
 
I bought a brush grabber off amazon. It works on larger trees. Anything smaller than 1 inch it slips off.
 
Attempted to make a weed wrench by looking at the pictures of one. It was close but no cigar. Friend of mine decided to buy one so borrowed his and then made one seriously close to that one. Actually another friend made it for me. It works good and have pulled a whole lot of buckthorn with it.
