Harold Amick Nice! This grubber works like magic on certain types of debris, like chicken wire, chain-link fence, tarps, carpeting, and other stuff like that. It's just one tool you need to keep in your toolbox👍👍
You can’t hit the kill button fast enough once you get into metal. Those cutter heads spin at such a velocity that by the time it grabs metal it’s too late. It then becomes a damage assessment and problem solving event. Thanks Dave!
GRANE LANDWORKS I hit an iron cap on a main water valve access. Covered over with 2' high grass. Shot that thing 75', and chipped or broke the carbide inserts on 6 teeth. Wasn't marked by owner. It's just part of the cost of doing business.
I need to try the grubber. I hit a chain link fence with my Fecon 128 and I kid you not it took 6 hours to cut and grind out. I’ve always used chains and backed out jammed logs etc so the grubber idea sounds like it would work.
Taylor Pierce This grubber was one of the best solutions I ever thought of. Not so much for strands of barbed wire or cables, but it works great on grabbing clumps of things like chain link fence, livestock fence, chicken wire, tarps, and those type things. I use to just weave or hook a chain onto these types of fencing, but it seemed to just rip it's way out of the wire. This grubber grips onto larger/thicker chunks of the fence, and it grips it tighter the harder you pull on it. Now it takes me longer to get the grubber and chain from my truck, than it does to pull the debris out. Best when you can find and grip onto the end of the material, and then pull it out of the drum opposite of the way it went in, and it will unroll it off the drum. Definitely a useful tool to have in your recovery kit. I also carry 24" bolt/wire cutters, an angle grinder w/cutter wheel, a crowbar, a cats paw, a sharp knife (for material debris), pliers, a hammer, and 10' chain. Never had to use a torch. And I've had every type of junk and debris wrapped around my drum.
" whether it's fencing, barb wire, tarps, carpet, cloth, wire " I was wondering while watching you go into a head of brush on another video about 10 feet high if you ran over all kind of unseen obstacles, I guess this one answers my question, cool videos.
pcdubya Sometimes you work in certain areas where you expect debris to be, like along fencelines or roads. Other times you can run into totally random object hidden in the middle of a forest. Its all part of the job, and you have to pay attention. Thanks for watching.
Robert Cotrell JR Your're right, the Prusik is probably a much easier and better gripping knot to use. I have to remember that one. I always revert to all of the knots I learned in Boy Scouts when I was a kid. Can't remember what I did yesterday, but I can sure remember knots I learned when I was 12. 😂
If you don’t mind I would like to ask some off topic questions about running an outfit like yours. I’m in Georgia and have been wanting to get into this business for sometime. I did a few brush mowing jobs while I had a landscape company and found it very profitable. One of the questions I have is what size truck to you tow with. I need a new truck and I’m looking at a 3500srw, seems like the best all around for a dual purpose truck.
Robert Cotrell JR I use a Ram 3500. Has a Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel. AISIN transmission, with a 3:72 ratio rear axle. I got the factory installed fifth-wheel/gooseneck ball mount. This truck set-up can tow 30,000 lbs, and carry a 4000 lb load on the bed mount. The truck also has a "Tow Mode" button that changes the shifting timing to optimize for towing (I have a 6-speed automatic transmission), and a factory exhaust brake. I got the crew cab and I had the fold-down cargo floor installed under the rear folding seat. I use this rear compartment area to carry tools and equipment so it's easy to lock up. My truck has a standard size bed, also. This truck has been the most reliable piece of equipment in my business. It is more than capable of hauling my.machine and trailer.
Yes, I can give you an estimate for whatever clearing you want done, as long as you're within my service area, which is about a 70 mile radius of Clarksville, TN. Shoot me a text or call me at (757) 871-5026.

Lots of value in these comments. You're generous guy.
I took your advice and bought the same grabber. Works fast and great!!!

One badass tool.
Yes sir, it is.

Great ideas
John Earhart Sometimes you just have to ask yourself, "What would McGuyver do?" 😂

👍👍👍👍
Another tool you could use is what is called a Prusik. They will/can bite down harder than the half hitches.

I’m also contemplating a 3500 CC with a flatbed which would cost a couple grand more.

Robert Cotrell JR I have the crew cab, too. Whether you want a flatbed or standard bed would be entirely up to you to fit your needs.
I couldn't make it through the entire video! Minimal time! Meat and potatoes of the video! I fell asleep at .50 of the video on cable.
