[25] Pulling a Giant Ash Stump (Kubota BX23s & Bobcat e45) 

THANK YOU! you're the first guys I've seen using the tiny backhoe in a way that makes sense. Well done.

I watch your present vids and compare them to you in these older ones. Everything you do you deserve because the accomplishments you have achieved with just this piece of machinery and some rented here and there, presuming after you recent skid steer purchase you will be unstoppable. Keep up the great work.

These guys are more proficient with those machines than many are with their hands. Cool to watch in time lapse.

You may have started the project as an amateur, but you finished as a professional. Great job!!

I love it. I have a stump that I was trying to get with a bucket on my small tractor. I cut the roots with the saw all but the stump was stuck. The more I dug the more the tractor got stuck. Watching you take care of it with the backhoe was great. The way you got the rocks out of the roots was so cool. It was like watching machine porn. I sure wish that I had a backhoe. You did a great job on the video and the stump removal.😮😮😮🤨🤨🤨😀😀😀😀😎😎😎

PHENOMENAL!!! You are an expert sir!

You learned real quick on something you had never used before. Nice job.

Nice work. I like that root cutting attachment. Glad you got to use an excavator! Some rental places don't you using their excavator around roots because idiots misuse them and break cylinders. Makes it tough for everyone else. Thanks for sharing.

Was glad to see you get out the root ripper early on! One of my favorite add ons to my bx23s! Looks like you switched to the heavier piece of equipment to finally contend with this giant stump!

Great little machines, they will do just about any job with patience. I'm getting ready to dig up a stump with my 23, but It's in loose sandy soil, and the stump isn't nearly as big as that one. Thanks for sharing !

Amazing how much resistance a big old stump in the ground can give hydraulic equipment. Those rocks were probably there for millions of years.

For a while it was like a Navy trainee scrubbing the dock with a toothbrush.

Great job, you handled that E45 like a pro 👍🏻

Hell of a stump for that small excavator. Sure beats hand digging the stump out. But still you needed a sawsall as well. Very nice price for the bobcat. Hope you had fun I know this was your first time. Keep on going.

Hope you are well EE! Miss you man. Stay safe

Get your utilities located, kids, that ripper will do a great job on them too . . .

You darn near had it with the little how.

Switching to the bobcat is like getting your bossing character when something just won't die in PoE

Piece of advice for when running the mini. Learn to run it revved all the way up at full idle.

I have an L2501 with the BH77. It has a little more oomph to it than the 603 but not much. Get as close as you can and dig a circular trench to China. They will fall over under their own weight. The E45 looks like fun too! Unless you need to mow grass, pick up a load of dirt, or grapple a thicket of branches.

Bravo, My Friend.....Bravo!

Beau travail je lève mon chapeau 🌴

Easy way to move that stump. Run up to it with the blade. Grab the back side with the bucket. Lift both at the same time. And walk anywhere you want with stumps bigger then that. Wish I still had my B27. Have a Wood BK7500 on my Kubota now. But its like a toy compared to the excavator.

I pulled a big white for tree about the same size. I can tell you that root ripper would have been very valuable to have

Not going to lie that was a pretty cool video man. I can totally see how you'd be addicted to that power because of the time savings

Looks like a good bonfire. Smores

Outstanding!

His Mate comes over...'What you doing..?' 'Pulling that Tree Stump out'. Mate goes and sits on Tree Stump........

Hi there you should plant some apple 🍎 and pear trees with a peach trees pecan 🎄🌴

A job well done :)

That’s really nice work, but you could have had a guy come out with a stump grinder and had it done in less than an hour.

I see you had fun with the backhoe

Nice job man

What is the ripper tooth product info? that looks to be doing an amazing job

What's the problem with the e45? Looks like you have been running it forever! My only experience is that you get more from curling the bucket than you do with pulling with the arm? But that was my only experience. Just goes to show you, " the older you get, the bigger more expensive the toys are! Am I right? Dammit boy, you sure look like you know what your doing!

Just found this channel, have subscribed and watching. Damn you do more with less. You’d be damn good/fast/scary with more HP and a grapple, not to mention a box blade. Or heck, just a serious excavator.

feeling stupid...I cheered when it came loose lol

I have a b2650. I will never understand why people insist on busting up small equipment on jobs that require something much bigger. I rent a trackhoe for jobs like this and use my tractor for all the back filling.

I've done this with a bigger piece of equipment on a smaller tree stump and it's a tremendous amount of work. While that tractor can do it so can a shovel you're probably better off renting a bigger piece of equipment for the day to get this one done.

if the thumb was used in this job, everything would get done a lot quicker saving extra time, fuel etc

Gute Baggerfahrer.

I was just wondering if digging a really deep hole and then put that stump and broken roots and those large rocks down deeper and then cover with the soil to get rid of them all That excavator looks powerful enough to get them deep enough Ken in Florida

How are you liking your BX? I'm on the fence ... should i gitt me one?

Victory!

Awwsome job. You handle that machine unbelievably Can you tell me where you got that saw attachment? Ty

Nice job. How long did it take you on the little one? And how long on the excavator? Thanks!

What is that attachment that you were using and where can I get it. Is that like a ripper claw? Is it by the company EXpanded? Is it worth it? Thanks mate... Great vid 👍

Roots not only go out, like a line, do they?😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice work Song at 19:34? That is awesome beat

nice job, I just subscribed

Класс люблю такую технику, все четко так.

Wow. Standing right at the edge of the road, not a good idea. Drivers have been known to swerve

It,s like painting your house eith a tooth brush😢

Need to look at getting a root ripper from B-xpanded.

What would be a fair price to charge for that job? Did you get rid of the stump and rocks?

Just wondering if you called BEFORE YOU DUG you didn’t mention it if you did kudos but anything you dig up you own and that gets expensive I know of three homeowners that no longer own their home cause of the big fat lean or judgment not sure what it’s called actually what I’m saying is it takes a few minutes to call 811 then you’re off the hook if you hook a utility and I’m here to tell you they run utilities in the strangest places

Koposi ga nedelju dana😂

What is that attachment and where can I get it?

How long did it actually take you. Impressed with your work

why not just use a stump grinder?

Enjoy your videos, what is the music around 22:30? Thanks!

Who makes that ripper and where did you get it?

I have dug up stumps as big as my L35 Kubota and she even carried them,,,you need to grease your machine to much metal clanking

How long did it take you to get that stump out?

what is that music at 13 minute mark? Catchy tune.

Ash more like ass. loooollll Nice.

How long did that take

How much you pay for that kubota digger

How much did you charge for digging that out?

SIZE DO MATTER

NH. I am from nh

Would have been a lot better video without the music, that shit run me crazy
