What is a skid steer tree puller?

A skid steer <a href="https://skidsteersdirect.com/blogs/news/best-skid-steer-tree-puller" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tree puller attachment</a> is large hydraulic clamp like attachment that is used to pull up small trees and shrubs with their roots in tact for relocation.

Being able to grab a tree or shrub from the base and pull it out of the ground along with a section of the roots solves the problem of having to remove stumps afterwards.
<br>
<br>
Leaving a stump behind can be problematic. Not only can it be hazard it also invites pests and fungus. You also may be breaking new land for agriculture where leaving a stump behind reduces the area that can be cultivated.
<br>
<br>
A tree puller also doesn’t create a large mess like a chain saw. Of course a tree puller will bring up some dirt with it, but the roots can be shaken out in place to remove the bulk of dirt.
<br>
<br>
Lastly, a tree puller is considered safer than a chain saw by many of its users. Where a chain saw can cause accidental damage when a tree falls the wrong direction, a tree puller removes that risk by picking the tree straight up and carrying it away all in one move.
