My heavily wooded property is full of scrawny American hornbeams as understory to larger oaks and beeches. Before, I could hack out one or two unwanted saplings using a deep spade and mattock, but the process was extremely time-consuming. Worse yet, both my wrists (carpel tunnel) and arms (tennis elbow) would throb afterwards due to the jarring impact of hitting the ground. Using the Pullerbear is great. There’s still some wrangling involved for wider roots, but for smaller starts it’s just like using a lever. The spindly trunks are held fast in the grip and the whole thing pops out of the ground by pulling down on the metal arm. I probably cleared 80 baby trees, allowing more mature trees to access sunlight and develop healthier canopies. I’m not a young woman anymore, so this new system is a vast improvement. I have four more acres to go, but look forward to greater access throughout my woods and greater plant diversity. During my second weekend of use, I went after sassafras that I had cut earlier at the ground level: big mistake as this just causes multiple trunks through coppicing. Sassafras trees have extensive roots, but also a primary tap that meanders. I used the pullerbear to grab onto the roots after I had dug around the stump and eventually extricated a vast majority of the root system. I have not permanently installed a board at the clamping edge so that I can get into dug out spaces, thinking I would have less access if the board was permanently attached. I use a board to brace the lever action as the soil gets loose and friable after the initial pulls. I just wish I had found this tool sooner. It is well worth the cost and the four week waiting for the shipment from Canada. It took longer to be delivered via snail mail than the time needed to manufacture. On August 24th, 2015, LindaBinMD added the following: I now also have the smaller "Blackberry" Pullerbear, but the "teeth" of the part that grips onto the base of the plant are the same size as my longer Pullerbear. Young blackberries and brambles slide through, or worse yet, severe at the base. But, it is significantly lighter: the "mouth" appears to be the exact same size as the one I already have, just with a shorter handle. I end up carrying both when I plan to thin an area simply to have a choice; using the smaller version when I can and switching to the heavier version when the smaller one is ineffective. Still wish I had found this product sooner, as some areas where I still wish to cull, the trees are now too big for the grip. But removing the many scrawny trees that are destined to fail makes such a positive impact in terms of visibility and access to sunlight.

There is just one thing I would like to address and that is the delivery time of the Pullerbears. We have a very good problem in that the more publicity we get the more orders we receive, thus increased volume. We have, however, expanded our production capabilities and have cut the delivery time in half. Thank you so much for taking the time to post your comments and, again, for giving a Pullerbear a home. |

The back 40' is into a woods that is fairly heavily infested with buckthorn that ranges from inches tall and smaller than a pencil in diameter to 6" in diamater and 15-20' tall. The vast majority is 2-8' tall and 1/4" to 1.5" in diameter. |

The Pullerbear has been fantastic. I'll fault my own muscles before I fault the Pullerbear. It has excellent, solid construction. I rarely have a problem with the jaws slipping on the trunk (maybe one of every 40 trees). There are times when the surrounding soil is soft, & the Pullerbear base sinks in so that I can't get good leverage to pull the tree. I've found that I can toss a large rock or branch under the base to get around that (plus, you can bolt a larger base to it if you want to - they have bolt holes for that - I just choose not to). I've lent it to a friend, who just placed an order for the Pullerbear Pro. I'm considering getting the smallest one so I can clear the 2-4' buckthorn saplings (I go through leather gloves pretty fast pulling them by hand, although feeling the roots give _is_ pretty satisfying!). In short - I HIGHLY recommend the Pullerbear. |

We were amazed how fast we got the trees out ( roots and all ) I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOOL for any one with plants or shrubs they want to get rid of. |
