I’d recommend a ripper attachment for your machine. Use it around the stump to tear out the roots it’ll distribute less ground around the stump. When you’ve torn the roots out around the stump reach under the stump and use the bucket tilt to push the stump up tearing it from the ground.

I have the same trailer for my excavator. When Unloading, try lowering the bucket close to the ground approx 4" from touching. As you trailer rocks forward let the bucket hit the ground. You can just roll forward until you can control how fast or slow you want the trailer to drop. Then just continue to walk off the trailer. As far as price, you're right. No good deed goes unpunished. Thanks for the video keep them coming.

I have the 4 ton version of that machine, it's easier to grab stuff with this type of claw if you extend the boom and stick out further, that gets your claw closer to the ground and you don't have to rotate the bucket as far. Of course if its going to be real heavy, you will need to be closer to get more lifting power.

Wondering because I’m considering getting a skid steer or mini skid steer from them and don’t know if I should import it myself or have them deliver to my door. Also what do you think about starting out with a small Chinese skid steer or mini skid steer for mostly home use? Check out the Derette V1000.

14k is the overall weight! You have to subtract the weight of the trailer itself to get the payload number. EXAMPLE: 14K GTWR( gross trailer weight rating) Say the trailer is 3k by itself... payload is 11k, NOT 14K. I'd say you're overloding the trailer by 2,500 to 3,000 pounds. There is a difference from GVWR and pay load. I'm not trying to cause trouble. I just want others to be safe

A landscape company had it for a few years possibly on lease. Do you think they had issues and that’s why it’s got suck little hours? I told them I’d buy a 1 year warranty just in case it’s has issues. Think it’s worth the risk or should I keep looking for a better model? You think M series is better to go with?

@stephenhinkle3277 crazy ok I was told by some good ol boys that dot wants the boom to the back. Because the motor and body and engine are the heaviest part and I have that past the mid point toward truck. You sure I did it wrong?
@stephenhinkle32774 күн бұрын
@gunnerranch well, technically, you can load it either way as long as you know how much tongue weight you have. The reason I load with blade in the rear is because you get a really solid safe chain connection(in my opinion, the rear chain down is the most crucial because of any hard stops). Also, when loading with blade in the back, you can leave boom in front (not to the side), and your visibility of clearing your fenders is really good. I use the 10-12% tongue weight rule. So my X weighs about 9k, so 900# min on the tongue and about 1100# max. I used a weight scale off Amazon to accurately position the X to get the correct tongue weight. I mark the trailer where the blade lines up, so I know exactly how far to pull up on the trailer every time.
