A brush bundling system including an elongated vertical frame; and at least one long strap fastened at one end to the frame and adapted to be extended along the ground a long distance behind the frame to enable a large volume of cut brush to be piled thereon. A tensioning arrangement is mounted on the frame and adapted to be fastened to the free end of said strap for pulling said strap around said volume of cut brush to compress said brush into a tight bundle, whereupon said compressed bundle may be strapped with a steel strap or other strapping or tying material to retain the bundle in its compressed state.
