I despise honey suckle, but buckthorn is worse around here.
I bought an Uprooter for pulling large honeysuckle that is too hard to hand pull. wish I would of known you were looking for a puller. I have one you could of had. They don't work very good in my area as my soil has lots of clay and is a heavy loam. Its very hard to pull a bush/tree once the roots get in there. You tend to break the plant off at the ground level. Sandy or a more loose soil would work fine I'll bet.

Anthony, what do you use as a cut stump treatment for honeysuckle?

Anthony, what do you use as a cut stump treatment for honeysuckle? don't know about Anthony but I use Glyphosate, Honeysuckle is very sensitive to it. Anthony, what do you do with all the stuff you thin out? I ask cause I'm thinning too. I have been cutting, treating the stump and leaving the rest lay of the smaller stuff (say about 3" at the stump). The bigger stuff I'll use an occasional one for lumber, some for firewood (Sugar Maple and Ironwood only) and the most get killed by drilling and filling with herbicide then left standing. Standing dead stuff is good. Don't know how much stuff your eliminating but If I had to say I'd bet I'm killing about 2/3-3/4 of the stuff I have. That would be lots to haul or drop and then try to walk around in for the next 2-4 years. Altho the tops of trees do make good deer/turkey no-go zones for the rare and abused flora.

I'd trade you any day; our invasive Himalayan broadleaf blackberry on the west coast for your invasive honeysuckle.
When I was a kid there was a lot of small parcels of pasture land in lowland western Washington; seems like everyone back then had a cow or a steer or two. All that pasture land is now being or has already been overtaken by invasive blackberry vines, creating an impenetrable monoculture of thorny vines eight to ten feet tall.

I use the same thing for all cut stumps - 50% triclopyr 3, 40% water, 10% imazapyr. I wish they made a simple ready to use herbicide for cut stump honeysuckle like the Pathfinder II RTU I use for buckthorn
