That was quick work removing that big stump. I just removed my first stumps this week and it definitely is a learning process. It took me about 45 minutes my first stump.
The bxpanded backhoe Ripper is worth every penny. When it cuts through the roots it only leaves a small cut in the ground. You don’t have to remove all of the dirt. The Ripper makes it so you don’t have to fill in such big holes. It is a great attachment for a little John Deere tractor.
Added three finger grapple with third function valve on compact tractor. WOW, NICE addition to tractor. Wanted a back hoe for tractor. Ended up with Kubota K008-3 mini excavator.
good work. ive been trying to decide between getting a backhoe thumb and 3rd hydraulic with grapple addon for the bucket, that i saw on tractor mikes page. price difference is big but seeing you pull this large sump i think the grapple wins so will be saving for that plus it can double up for collecting brush
You allowing those tress to split up the center like that is very dangerous especially on a big tree Either up up the throttle all the way and chop through quickly for a clean cut or notch first then cut...
Great video . Yea you could have used a stump grinder but you have to go get it and bring it back . Plus you have to pay the rental fee .Using your backhoe might take a bit longer but at least you get to use it . The more you use it the better you get using it . After all what's a backhoe for but to dig . LOL Take care .
Engine RPM sounds very slow and the apparent power at the bucket seems to verify that. Why are you not running at or near the rated HP RPM? Nice video thank you for sharing your experience.
fcruabbly I keep the backhoe on most of the time, that’s what I consider my ballast to offset working with the loader. I have 5 other implements for the 3pt hitch and so occasionally I have to swap them out with the backhoe.
Thank you! I assumed the backhoe would be the ideal ballast for the FEL and the BC4200 Brush Crusher. Plus, the backhoe, for us, is THE implement that we will use the most. We have seemingly infinite reasons to dig.
