It seems to be solid, and those teeth really bite hard. It's main use will be behind a tractor to remove some 3-6" trees from my son's land, roots and all.
I had this one stump that has been bothering me, and decided to try a test. Worked out great.  |

www. northerntool.com and search "brush grubber model# BG-" and it will list several different styles and sizes. The one in previous photos is the largest one, Model# BG-20 Brush Grubber Thread |

I have been wanting to add a crossing to a deep ravine that runs across our property. A couple weeks ago I located some free 50" diameter concrete culverts. After hauling them home we decided we should probably come up with a plan to lower them into the 20' deep ravine. Snave, Delmo, and I thought that Jeeps would make exciting work of that task. So with the winch of 2 Jeeps hooked onto each 4500 pound culvert as it rolled down the bank it went pretty well. Then we used the winches along with some snatch blocks to pull them together. Here are a couple pics of the project. The Instagram link has a short video of our day of using Jeeps for work.

We had a bunch of limbs that need to go to other end of field. Got the idea of using a tow strap, connected to pintle, pile branches on it, loop it up over the top over branches, and back to pintle . . worked great.
First stop on the brush tour:  The rest of the piles are visible thru windshield of Wilson. Pile getting bigger:  Bigger:  Final load:  Moving those branches would have taken forever by hand . . it is so nice to have a '2A working tool . |

My son had several large trees taken down near his house recently. The contractor piled them in woods behind his house. Today we started to "unpile" them, and cut to firewood length. The largest one was 40" diameter oak . . very heavy!!
 I am not sure what it is called, but I have a old chain device, used for dragging logs out of woods. It is "V" shaped chain with 2 hooks on the end of legs, and a ring at base of "V". We pounded the hooks into logs on far side, then rolled the huge logs off of the pile. It worked even better than expected.  |

I guess that tool is called a “tong”. Or tongs. Like for carrying ice blocks. Pretty cool work. Lots of good firewood

Not that important, but I went on a short quest to see what this tool is called. Looking up "tongs" usually results in something more resembling a giant pair of scissors, with hooks instead of sharp cutting blades. I could find no modern replacement for this:  |

Yep. Oops on my part. Guess I should have read your description more closely. Definitely not tongs

I don't know the proper name for those. I call them chain dogs. Work like tongs for larger diameter logs.
