Many years ago a frind of mine made a 3 point puller for his tractor. It pulled up 4 inch trees easily by first clamping around the tree and then raising the tractor's 3 point hitch. He basically built a bit of a frame out of steel he had laying around. I will describe the end that clamped the tree, you can visualize what kind of frame work would be needed to attach it to the 3 point arms.
The clamp used a standard hyd cylinder to clamp the tree against a bar. The bar was a piece from an old culitvator and was maybe 2 inch square solid shaft, suitablly braced to the 3 point attaching frame. The clamp was flame cut from some 1/2 inch material, two pieces, top and bottom, with some stiffening material between. This material did not go all the way to the nose of the clamp as the outer end was allowed to swallow the bar so a smaller tree could be clamped. The clamping portion was rounded and clamped against the straight bar.
I lifted/pulled up 6-7 inch trees with it using my JD4630, He used an IH 656 and pulled 4-5 inch. It worked slick.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
