[QUOTE="david1852, post: 1629589, member: 38616"] I ordered MTL tree/ post puller instead of the Titan and got it early this morning. Everything about it looks good, welds, heavy construction, paint and protected cylinder. At my request the company swapped out the flat face couplers for ag couplers. After checking it over I put it right to work. I had a section of fence with about 50 T-posts and about a half dozen wood posts to pull up. I can say that it generates a LOT of clamping force. It will crush in the sides of the T-posts and splinter 3-4" wooden posts. Got those posts, fence wire, all pulled up in no time. Rolled up everything with the forks and moved the mess to the scrap pile. Finished all that in just a little over an hour which would have taken me a half day using a chain and getting on/ off the tractor. My knees feel so much better too. Pulling up the posts went so well I had time to try it out on the trees/bushes along 1/4 mile of the highway. As I stated earlier, my intentions were to use the puller to reach up and over the fence to hold small trees/limbs/ bushes hanging out to the highway while I cut them off with my Echo pole saw. Everything was under 4" in diameter and less than 20' long. I held and cut one tree limb/bush at a time and it worked perfectly plus I didn't have to risk my life working next to the highway [/QUOTE]
