RIPPING OUT STUMPS WITH 970 BOBCAT by BSF Recovery Team 

If you put your forks together closer and rip out the roots all the way around the stump works better than having the forks out as wide as they go. Makes a big difference

Sliding the forks together concentrates the power and lessens the chance of a fork bending.

I have an old 743 Bobcat, love it to death, but it is small... this thing gets me every time you show it! Such a beast.... :)

I don't think you'll put letsdig18 out of business, but the Bobcat sure beats the axe and shovel technique.

Great. Videos keep'em coming. I'm a rollover recovery specialist for the tow company I work for.

PUT THE FORKS TOGETHER TO MAKE A STRONGER SPIKE TO GET TO THOSE BIGGER ROOTS AND EASIER DIGGING

A little tip for ya: After you've worked at a big stump for a while and have it loosened some you slide the forks under it and start raising the boom until the back tires lift off the ground. Then go forward with the skid steer with a quick short motions to cause the ass end of the skid steer to in affect bounce. It's using the weight of the suspended portion of the skid steer as a counter to the stump. I do this with caution because it does put much more pressure on everything than just lifting the boom up does. Pops 'em right out. You kind of did it at the 8:57 mark. Just let the back tires get a little further off the ground next time and give her a few bounces and something will give.

Ok You Were Having Fun Doing That Digging Weren't You???!!!😎😎😎😎

There are lots of things that would be faster, but a hand shovel sure isn't one of them. I terms of "use what you have" that sure works a treat.

Thanks,for the great videos. I am building a. Model of your wrecker ad and was wondering if you could send me a picture of BSF. on the door of your wrecker, I have a great picture of the back but can't seem to get one of logo on the door.

I have a bobcat 943 and find it very rocky to drive, it’s very unnerving

I want one!!!!! Great video eric!

Like the big Bobcat

I just got a M-970. Everything works on it but the steering. If anybody has any tips to what could be wrong with it that would be much appreciated.

Did you ever get the motor rebuilt on the monster bobcat? I did noticed that the motor didn't look like it was smoking not like it used to. If you did did you do a video on rebuilding the motor?

Great old machine about the only worthwhile bobcat ever made. Bobcat only made 600 units of this machine for 69-71.

Couple of them trees in the background look like they could fall over.

Cool vid. Whats next? Lol

You look so small in that Bobcat

Nah man you were just playing there. A 12,000 lb winch doubled a few times would have pulled that right out no problem. :) Ask me how I know.

hey what brand of tow strap do you recommend for a light duty size pickup truck

good video however I looked in my back yard and found no bobcat

What motor there are?

Werent you guys swapping the engine on this ?

Should of used the boom on the wrecker....lol...

Broke stuck and forked up!

I think the cure was worse than the disease here

I think I need a Cigarette... (It was good for me) :)

😀

Not even a decal

I would digging the stumps out not pulling the stump out
