Description
The Extractigator Baby Gator is the smallest version of the original Extractigator. The Baby Gator shares the same profile as the Extractigator Classic, only is made from thinner material with a shorter handle. The Jaws of the Baby Gator open from a complete close to 1” (2.5cm) and recommended for plants under .5” (1.3cm) in diameter. If you need to remove smaller diameter saplings and work from a short height, or on a hill... the Extractigator Baby Gator is perfect for the job.
If you are looking for a well built tree puller or shrub puller that has durable components that is also lightweight then the extractigator range is for you. It has automatic opening clog free jaws, is lightweight, has a comfortable foam grip, includes durable components, and has a ratcheting design.
If you are looking to remove unwanted trees, shrubs or to pull invasive species in your garden, woodland, farm or land then this easy to use tree puller is perfect.
How is The Extractigator different from competitor devices?
The answer is in the design. Competitor models are designed in an "L" shape. The pivot (or fulcrum) is a fixed distance from the plant to be removed, and requires a large amount of operator effort at the start of the removal – at an uncomfortable vertical level requiring much physical strength.
The design of the Extractigator is one which has a variable pivot distance, allowing the operator maximum force applied to the plant at the beginning of the pull (when it is needed the most) with the lowest amount of operator effort. The handle is in a position which allows the operator to use body weight as the advantage – not physical strength. As the plant is removed, the pulling distance is increased.
