Abstract:
A tool, for use on a powering vehicle having a multi-point hitch with paired laterally spaced lifting arms and at least one tilting arm, for bare root extraction of arborescent material from the earth, comprising in combination:a frame having an upper yoke structurally carrying similar spaced vertically depending leas having lower end portions interconnected by a lower beam;connecting structure carried by the frame having means for pivotal interconnection with the paired laterally spaced lifting arms and the at least one tilting arm of the powering vehicle; andextracting structure having a plurality of elongate extracting tines carried in linear laterally spaced array in the lower beam to extend therefrom in angulated orientation to the frame and in a direction distal from the connecting structure, whereinat least one of the extracting tines is releaseably carried in a first collar structurally carried in the lower beam by a fastener releaseably extending between the collar and the extracting tine,the extracting tines are elongate cylindrical rods having sharp outer end portion distal from the lower beam to aid earth penetration, and inner ends portions of the rods carry a structurally attached second collar spacedly adjacent the lower bar and abutting the first collar carrying the tine.
