A tree grubber attachment bolts onto the arm of your excavator and carries a thick plate with a “V” shape built into it.
<br>
<br>
You then use your excavators arm to dig the V shaped plate through the soil and pry the tree up by its tap roots.
<br>
<br>
The V shaped plate is built to have just the right amount of edge on it to not penetrate right though the root, but instead to grip it firmly to pull the tree out of the ground.
<br>
<br>
For clarity, the tap roots of a tree are the roots that travel straight down from the trunk of the tree before turning outwards and expanding horizontally.
<br>
<br>
Once these pesky roots are removed, you can prepare for <a href="https://skidsteersdirect.com/collections/excavator-grading-beam" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">grading</a> to ensure proper draining.
