Removing Stump with Small Excavator 

Hi friend !!! get yourself one shank stump ripper in place of the bucket safe time and money but also preserving the machine !!!

I take delivery of a 2.5 t machine today. Plan to dig out 100 stumps that big and smaller. It’s going to take me weeks by the looks of it. But my soil is really loose and sandy.

This looks like great fun. Great therapy.

Good job man. That gets me stoked, just got my first mini ex (2006 JD 35d). I also run a small tree service so I'm definitely gonna try this out , on the lookout for a ripper pick attachment

is this Larry Enticer's full time job when not sending it?

that toy excavator on that stump was a boy on a man's job. However, you knew the right way to go about it. well done.

have same Yanmar love it! Sold my CAT330 .

if you watch this whole video without skipping any part you really have hit rock bottom

It is often little better than a large excavator. I'm digging stumps on Caterpillar 390D L, weight 90 tons. Bucket is 5 cubic meters, 11.8 meters depth range.

Good work, One day I will retire and buy a similar machine and begin my second career.

Hey, Thanks for the Video, I like what I see, Bill

fantastic job

Я тоже как то копал втрое больший пень, там два ствола с общим корнем, экскаватором Komatsu PC10, он меньше этого весит, 1,5т, но силища в нём хорошая, обкопал вокруг и пятитонной талью вытащил, а надо было наверное выкопать котлован, и в него этот корень сбросить и заровнять и порядок!

@1toomanyhobbies yes is was about 14 inches across. This was a vio20

I bet you are glad you didn't have to do that with a spade

He is a novelist, using his stick cylinder to break routes, he should use his bucket cylinder, which has 30x the power to break routes.

what size was the tree? About 12 or 14 inches across? I'm thinking of getting a vio27. Thanks!

Are you removing a stump or digging a pool?

That stump was determined to stay in the ground. I wonder how long it would take 2 teenagers with picks, shovels and a chainsaw to remove it? How much would you charge to dig it up and take it away?

The longer the better..

next time pls use HD movie mode! :-D

Gotcha. I see what you are saying. Maybe I will try that.

How many ton is the machine?

Friend of mine asked me to run a vio for him after hurricate katrina hit. I went down there, signed a fema contract, and flipped the mini. I swore i never would operate playtoy so small.

you bet

He obviously works on an hourly basis.....

Believe me, if I could have pulled it out sooner I would have

What horsepower is that excavator

BIG hole, BIG mess, long time clean up.. He is here for the money baby!! hahahahaha

10 mins with a stump grinder; and no hole and no mess
