Skid Steer Tree Puller – for Land Clearing and Site Prep | Loflin Fabrication

Overview

When you're clearing land, preparing a building site, or cleaning up overgrown property, small trees and saplings can bring your progress to a halt. Digging them out by hand takes hours. Chainsaws leave stumps and roots behind, which means more work down the line. The Loflin Tree Puller from Forge Claw gives you a better way to get the job done.

This attachment is built to grab, pull, and remove small trees and saplings roots and all in a single motion. That means no more digging, no more cutting and grinding stumps, and no more dealing with regrowth a year later. You clamp down on the trunk, apply hydraulic pressure, and pull the entire tree straight out of the ground. It's fast, clean, and gets the roots out with the tree so you're not left with hidden obstacles under the surface.

Manufactured by Loflin Fabrication in the USA, the Tree Puller is designed for operators who need reliable performance and straightforward operation. Whether you're a contractor preparing a job site, a landowner reclaiming pasture, or a landscaper tackling overgrown fence lines, this tool handles the repetitive, labor-intensive work that used to eat up entire days. It's built from heavy-duty steel with a fully enclosed cylinder that keeps dirt, debris, and moisture out of the hydraulic system where it belongs.

The gripping teeth are reinforced with half-inch steel plate, which means they bite hard and hold tight even when you're working with stubborn root systems or uneven terrain. Four rows of teeth give you serious gripping power across the entire jaw width. The treaded step makes it easy to position the attachment and apply pressure with your foot when you need a little extra leverage during setup or adjustment.

One of the biggest advantages of this tree puller is how it eliminates follow-up work. When you cut a tree down with a chainsaw, you're left with a stump that either needs to be ground out or dug up later. Grinding is expensive if you hire it out and time-consuming if you do it yourself. Digging means dealing with roots that spread farther than you expect. Pulling the tree out whole means you're done in one pass. The site is clear, the roots are gone, and you can move on to grading, planting, or building without worrying about what's left underground.

This attachment is also a huge time saver when you're working on larger projects. Clearing a fence line or preparing an acre for development used to mean days of manual labor or coordinating multiple pieces of equipment. With the Tree Puller mounted on your machine, you handle the job in a fraction of the time. You stay in the cab, work efficiently, and move from tree to tree without breaking rhythm. That means you finish faster, take on more work, and keep your operation moving.

Forge Claw is proud to distribute Loflin Fabrication products because they're built to the same standard we hold ourselves to: honest construction, dependable performance, and real value for the people doing the work. Every Tree Puller comes equipped with Parker brand hydraulic hoses, fittings, and couplers, so it's truly job-site ready right out of the crate. You're not hunting down parts or making extra trips to the supply house. You hook it up, connect your hydraulics, and start pulling trees.

The oversized, greaseable pins make maintenance simple and extend the working life of the attachment. Regular greasing keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents wear on the pivot points. The fully enclosed cylinder design protects the most critical component from the kind of abuse that happens on rough job sites. Dirt, mud, and debris stay out, which means fewer breakdowns and less downtime.

This tree puller is ideal for contractors who need to clear building sites quickly and completely. It's a go-to tool for landowners managing overgrown property or reclaiming pasture that's been taken over by saplings and brush. Landscapers use it to remove unwanted growth along property lines, driveways, and fence rows. Ranch owners rely on it to keep grazing land clear and productive. If you're managing timber land, preparing trails, or maintaining rights-of-way, this attachment handles the job without requiring a dedicated crew or specialty equipment.

The 103⁄4-inch opening width is sized to handle the most common small trees and saplings you'll encounter during land clearing and site prep work. It's wide enough to grip securely but compact enough to maneuver in tight spaces where larger equipment can't reach. You can work along fence lines, between buildings, or in wooded areas without constantly repositioning your machine or worrying about clearance.

The construction is straightforward and robust. The operation is simple and effective. The results speak for themselves: clear sites, no stumps, no regrowth, and no wasted time dealing with leftover roots.

Benefits

The Tree Puller eliminates the need for multiple passes and follow-up work by removing trees roots and all in a single operation. When you pull a tree out completely, you're not left with stumps to grind or roots to dig up later. That saves you time on every job and keeps projects moving forward without unnecessary delays. You finish site prep faster and move on to the next phase of work without backtracking.

This attachment dramatically reduces labor costs by turning a multi-person job into a one-operator task. Instead of coordinating a crew with shovels, axes, and chainsaws, you handle the entire clearing process from the cab of your machine. You eliminate the physical strain and safety risks that come with manual tree removal, and you free up your crew to focus on other productive tasks that move the project forward.

The heavy-duty steel construction and reinforced gripping teeth mean this tree puller holds up season after season without bending, breaking, or losing effectiveness. The fully enclosed cylinder protects your hydraulic system from the kind of damage that sidelines lesser attachments. You spend less time and money on repairs and more time generating revenue. The oversized greaseable pins make routine maintenance quick and simple, which extends service life even further and keeps operating costs low.

By removing trees completely with roots intact, you prevent regrowth that would otherwise require repeated clearing efforts. Saplings that are cut down often sprout back from the root system, which means you're dealing with the same problem again next season. Pulling the entire root system eliminates that cycle and keeps cleared land clear. That's especially valuable for pasture management, rights-of-way maintenance, and long-term land improvement projects.

The Tree Puller increases your productivity by allowing you to work quickly and efficiently across large areas. You can clear fence lines, building sites, and overgrown property in a fraction of the time traditional methods require. That means you take on more projects, finish jobs ahead of schedule, and build a reputation for fast, thorough work. The ability to handle land clearing in-house also opens up additional revenue opportunities and gives you more control over project timelines.

This attachment delivers excellent return on investment by replacing expensive services you'd otherwise need to hire out. Stump grinding, excavation, and manual labor all add up quickly when you're clearing significant acreage or preparing commercial sites. Owning your own tree puller means you keep those dollars in your pocket and maintain control over quality and scheduling. The attachment pays for itself after just a few jobs, and every project after that is pure profit.

The simplicity and reliability of the design mean you spend more time working and less time troubleshooting or waiting for repairs. The straightforward operation makes it easy to train new operators, and the robust construction means it keeps working even in tough conditions. You get consistent performance day after day, which builds confidence and allows you to take on challenging projects without worrying about equipment failure.

Additional Information

The Loflin Tree Puller is ideal for contractors preparing residential and commercial building sites, landowners managing overgrown property, landscapers clearing fence lines and property boundaries, and ranch owners maintaining productive grazing land. It's equally effective for municipal maintenance crews, utility companies managing rights-of-way, and anyone who needs to clear small trees and saplings quickly and completely. The compact design and maneuverability make it suitable for both open land and tighter spaces where larger equipment struggles to operate.

This tree puller is designed to work with skid steers and compact tractors equipped with standard hydraulic auxiliary systems. Make sure your machine's hydraulic flow and pressure meet the requirements for optimal performance. The Parker brand couplers ensure secure connections and reliable operation across a wide range of equipment. If you have questions about compatibility with your specific machine, Forge Claw's team is available to help you confirm fitment and discuss any adapter requirements.

For best results, position the tree puller as low as possible on the trunk to maximize leverage and ensure you're gripping below the main root flare. Apply steady hydraulic pressure rather than jerking or forcing the pull. Let the attachment do the work. On larger saplings, you may find it helpful to rock the tree slightly to break up the root ball before making the final pull. Clear loose dirt and debris from around the base if you're working in soft or muddy conditions to improve your grip and prevent slippage.

Regular maintenance is simple and keeps the Tree Puller operating at peak performance. Grease the oversized pins frequently, especially when working in dusty or muddy conditions. Inspect the gripping teeth periodically for wear and check that all bolts and fasteners remain tight. Store the attachment under cover when possible to protect the hydraulic components and extend service life. Following these basic practices ensures years of reliable operation and minimizes the need for repairs or part replacement.
