Is that the same as "stapleton". Cost??
Dan, I’m not familiar with the Stapleton brand. Couild you possibly be referring to
The Stalpen Tree Jack? If so the Stalpen is a bit more expensive then the Reipal RH 6 pusher. They both are excellent tools. Reipal offers 6 different models of the tree pusher.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Hi Tony and hello to you who asking,
Sorry to intrude, but many people ask about the difference between the Stalpen and our RH-PUSHER Tree Jack. On the first, Stalpen and RH-PUSHER are market leaders in Scandinavia, so that is probably why many compare the two tools.
Our largest model that we have, the RH-PUSHER VI, costs about half of what the Stalpen costs.
The pole is as strong as approx. our model 2, which is one of the smallest models we manufacture.
The difference between the Stalpen and the RH-PUSHER:
Professional logger has given as feedback when they have tested our tools and the Stalpen. The following remarks is what professional loggers has told us.
1. Tree-Jack has a better Clow, it is grabbing better since it is wider, but the most important with the clow is that the clow on Tree-Jack are very easy to get louse when the tree is falling, the tool will not go down with the tree and get damage if the tree roll over it. When the tree is starting to fall the operator grab the tool and move away, that is always possible with the Tree-Jack.
2. The Tree-Jack can be cranked out 90 cm and Stalpen 60 cm, that is big difference, With the Tree-Jack you always have enough operation length to get the tree over in one operation and that is very important. If you don`t get the tree to start to fall before the tool is completely extended you are in big trouble.
-RH-PUSHER has the best lifting power in relation to the weight.
3. The Tree-Jack has a better safety crank system. When you crank very hard you can always get the crank louse and lower the tool without lifting the back-latch. Here in Sweden, it is forbidden to lift the back-latch when you lower the tool. Stalpen has problem with their safety-crank system. The Tree-Jack has a better developed system for safety crank system. In Sweden it is a law that the tool should have a safety crank system who works.
4. The foot on the Tree- Jack has the corners bent down, if the ground is soft, the operator can put a long piece of wood under the foot. Since 2 corner are bent the tool will stay on the wood-piece and not go down in the ground when the operator put a lot of pressure on the tool (see attached file with image).
5. On the Tree-Jack it is possible to turn the clow 90°, that means you can get the crank away from the tree, sometimes that can be a advantage. Larger models have larger claws (see attached file).
6. The crank on the Tree-Jack is mounted lower than on Stalpen. The heigh the crank is on the Tree-Jack is correct for the operator to get the best most power to crank. On Stalpen the crank is to high to get a lot of power when you are cranking.
7. The wire in the Tree-Jack can take a bigger load than the cogwheels in the Stalpen, If the tool get overloaded the wire will not brake,
8. The Tree-Jack are longer than Stalpen when they are fully extended, that is important, you can get more pressure on the tree, since you can grab higher up with along tool.
9. The Tree-Jack has a crank who can be folded in, that’s an advantage when tool is transported.
The Tree-Jack is approved by the safety department in Sweden, we have also had the tools to kwf in Germany and they have approved all the models.
Finally, our RH-PUSHER is equipped with a carrying strap to be able to be carried on the shoulder in the forest when you don't have access to the car, for example. RH-PUSHER has a very favourable price for the quality of the tool you get.
We are the market leading brand today, we are the only CO who has more than one model, we produce 6 models to cover the full range of need for this kind of tools. We are selling our tools in a lot of countries today.
Best regards, Zhanna.

Hey Tony,
I just received the my Reipal III from Viking. Haven’t had a chance to use it yet, to much rain in the Pacific Northwest ( Oregon ). Great company to work with shipped the next day and they had 40.00$ off and free shipping 👍🏻. That product is so well made and answered my emails with questions very promptly! Looking forward to using it soon on two Doug Fir 🌲 that just recently died both are 36”x about 100’, not near anything that would get Damaged if the fell didn’t go as planned. Already cleared out around the area for a quick escape😂😂 hopefully won’t need to use it.
I like the way the Finnish Lumber Jack makes a notch to stick the jack in, going to do the same. I’m glad the trees don’t have a lean to them!
Alan, glad you got your RH Pusher.
Ironically I will be doing a review on the RH Pusher III in the next few weeks showing the pusher and accessories that are available.
You will have to let me know how things go and your thoughts on the pusher.
The notch is a good idea even though the 4 pointed claw will dig into the tree.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
That thing is pretty slick, would definitely get a pinched bar in a tree unstuck.
Joe I can’t tell you how many leaning trees the tree pusher has helped me push in the opposite direction. The tool is not very well known in the US ut in Europe it’s very popular.

Nice dedicated Tool for the Job Tony.
I have used a Farm jack too, to push Trees over. A length of pipe and a guide ring at the top at the jack beam
I keep a 20Ton bottle jack in the Arsenal as well.
Now that I have the tractor, it pushes good too. The back Hoe gets a bit Higher than the bucket.

Nice review Tony. I could see the tool coming into play for those leaners that need to be dropped against the lean. Stay safe.
Frances I can’t tell you how many learners I’ve coaxed to go the opposite direction of the lean.
In my opinion this tool is worth its weight in gold if you don’t have a tractor with a rope or cable.

I bought my reipal tree pusher on Amazon. great tool.
Jim, how long have you had yours and how do you like it?
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Tony; I've had it for 2 1/2 years. It is a type IV. It has never failed me, but being that close to a big tree turning that crank is pretty scary to me since I had an incident with a 33 inch oak tree that fell the wrong way, crushed my Stihl MS 661C chainsaw, and just about did the same to me as I frantically pounded wedges to change the direction of that falling behemoth., to no avail. The Reipal is heavy enough that I only bring it when I know I will need it. It is so well built. My only complaint is with the little tab to reverse the direction and collapse the pusher.
@@jimyoungquist1687 Jim, thanks for letting me know. I agree the big trees are scary. However, I much rather use the pusher then pound the heck out of multiple stacked wedges hoping for the tree to tip the right way.
I’m hoping to review the RH Pusher III with the optional accessories soon.
Thanks for your response.👍TCT
That beats a long rope and a come a long!!

I have one of these. I bought it back in 2011. Ive used it countless times over the years, in many different situations. As Im a tree contractor. Making sure the ground is solid as he mentioned is probably the most important part of using this tool. Things can get real funky if you dont have solid ground.
Tim, I’ve made the mistake of using the pusher on soft ground and as you mentioned it’s a nightmare.
I try to have a 2x6 in the truck at all times otherwise I use the face cut wedge if I can.

Good Morning Tony: I’ve been using Norwood’s Tree Jack for a couple of years now. It works great. I still use a bottle jack on larger trees, but it’s time consuming. I really like this heavy duty tree jack you reviewed. I’m going to look into purchasing one. Thanks for your reviews, Rich

I’ve seen those used by a few arborists from Sweden, Denmark etc….that have Instagram channels. I think that’s an excellent tool, especially for those working alone. Dead standing oak (wilt) don’t like to drop over most times and need a little persuasion.
Yup I find the tree pusher invaluable when I’m dropping trees.
As I mentioned the Europeans and Scandinavian countries use the tree Jack far more than the US.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
Thats a nice tool ! I already have a 10 ton Blackhawk potta power that would probably work , although a lot more bulky and more of a pain to set up .
Really nice review !
Bruce the porta power definitely do the job but it’s too much stuff to carry in the field.
The tree Jack is a quick set up and drops the tree fast.
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍TCT
wedges!! thats why a lot easier to tote in the wilderness
I still carry wedges but seldom use them when I’m using the RH Pusher.
Unfortunately a wedge does nothing to try and get a leaning tree to go the opposite way where as the tree Jack will do it with no problem.

Not a price on it anywhere! Been to both of your web links. No wonder we never seen one! 😜. Wouldn’t be hard to put the MSRP in the listing. Also the sites that allegedly sell them don’t have it either. The Viking site has no search bar and I couldn’t even find it. The goal of marketing is to MAKE IT EASY TO PURCHASE! Peace! 😊
I’m a little confused, I went to the Viking Mountain Tool Works site and there is a search bar. If you type in Reipal there are 5 products offered. I don’t like listening prices on 6 different tools so I figured you might contact the dealer for the specific tool you were looking for.
Let me know if you have any more questions.

Tony. Wow, I can't believe how many things we have in common. I have owned the Norwood Industries Timber Tool for years and it is by far one of the most important logging tools I use. Here in Ohio, we have an international lumberjack competition and logging industries show every October called The Paul Bunyan show. That is where I first saw (and purchased) the Timber Tool. I also have the LogOx, Pinch-a-Log, and two sets of tongs (small and large size). In addition, I own the Logrite Junior log arch. Your reviews of all of these items have been excellent. I was very interested in the Reipal items you reviewed and am seriously considering upgrading to their model 5 tree jack and small tongs. May I ask where you are located? Thanks again for such wonderful reviews.
Wow Jim you’re right we seem to be kindred spirits. I am located in Central WI. I am familiar with the Paul Bunyan show and have attended the last two years. This year the folks at Logrite asked me to do a meet and great in their booth for a few hours. it was great meeting many subscribers.

It seems like a hydraulic porta power unit fully extended would do a similar thing. Its marketed as an auto body tool and have 4-10, even upward versions. though it does only have a 5" travel on the ram I have there may be other rams to use. Might be safer too since it has a 5-6 foot tube to the pump. travel wise comes in a case that has wheels suitable for hard surfaces but with different casters and a longer handle frame made for the case could go most anywhere. Its a little heavier but if you remove atachments you dont need can lighten up. Not Saying I wouldnt have both if I had the $$ to spend, this looks like a nice fast tool.
Jacob the porta power definitely would work as well as a modified building Jack.

I'd like to know what it was that was edited out a a few points... Especially 9:44 You apparently had some issue with the device and edited the video to conceal it. Doesn't inspire trust.
Does look like a well built and useful mechanism. I might be compelled to give one a try in the future. The potential for using it during building repair and construction is very appealing to me also and I can imagine fabricating a few special attachments for it tool.
Well at 9:44 I realized I didn’t turn on my second camera to capture the impact shot of tree falling and exploding into pieces.
No issues with the RH Pusher at all.

It didn't look that easy to "push over" to me. To me it looked like you were laboring to turn the crank. So, I wonder how difficult I would find cranking it on a tree that wasn't as long-dead as the one that you just cut. There wasn't a lot of weight in that tree, as it has obviously been dead for quite a while, and very dry and brittle.
I'm surprised that you haven't done a video on that Pfanner helmet. I've got the same one myself, with a different color scheme. I'm guessing that you got the idea to buy that helmet from G.P. Outdoors as I did too.
Jeff don’t know if you watched the whole video but I mentioned and showed I left a 2-1/2 to 3” hinge and wanted to show how powerful the tree Jack was. You definitely have to put your back into the tool but you have 165 lbs of pushing force to do it with.
The Pfanner hat is on my list of videos to do, I’ve had my had well before GP purchased his last year,

Why are the trees cut with a chainsaw if that thing can push trees over
Mario the tree pusher is designed to put some pressure on the tree while you make a face cut in the front and back cut. It helps stop the bar on your chainsaw from getting pinched while cutting. The tool was not meant to push over a tree without cutting it first.

K thanks , now l get it
So why do we arborists and lumberjacks not use these in North America then... Well that thing is heavy and we dont need it when we have simple wedges, or throw lines and rope. Im sure the tool has its place in certain forest settings where a vehicle is close by. I would still rather have a rope up in the canopy and its not that hard to achieve that.
I agree its not practical to carry around for all jobs but when my vehicle or UTV is close I definitely have it available.
The question I have is why do so many European and Scandinavian loggers and arborists use this? Are we in the US missing something?
When I see people using wedges and pounding the snot out of them or trying to sandwich two wedges together (which typically slip out) I find the tree pusher so much easier to use.
The other thing is vibration caused by this excessive pounding has more chance of limbs falling.
