Cat 420E vs stumps!

Removing stumps in preparation for planting hay.

[@chuckstevenson2929]

A lot of finesse right there, Great job on the feeder roots.

[@DLHFarms]

+Chuck Stevenson. Thanks, takes a little work to get those roots out, so many of them too.

[@bobcat9314]

That machine plucks those stumps out with out any effort..you make it look so easy..didn't even make a mess..good job!!

[@DLHFarms]

Thanks Bobcat!

[@AttitudeAdjuster]

Looks like a pretty good Machine there, and well operated

[@DLHFarms]

+Attitude Adjuster. Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@outdoorswithlarryrobin]

smooth on the cat, good job

[@DLHFarms]

+Larry Hottle. Thanks Larry!

[@montygomez495]

that little CAT does one hell of a job those 100 horses do the work of 200...haha.

[@DLHFarms]

It does it's a nice machine.

[@justinowens2985]

looks like fun

[@DLHFarms]

+Justin Owens. Of course it's fun. Haha

[@indianarowcrop8313]

Hey, just wondering what kind of camera do you use for filming...you should make a video showing us! ....Thanks

[@DLHFarms]

+Indiana Row Crop. That's a good idea! I'm using a GoPro hero 4 silver with a magnetic mount.

[@whitesoxbob]

I love stump removing videos. What do you do with the stump?

[@frankdimas7371]

How is the ground clearance and stability on slopes on this machine compared to the 420 f2?

[@DLHFarms]

Don't know never ran an f2

[@johnlong3214]

Lovely piece of kit but why the high revs? That baby should oik those stumps out on tick over.

[@DLHFarms]

+John Long. Not sure what your talking about, I wouldn't call half throttle high revs.

[@elmcustomharvesting1072]

thanks for the video what size of bucket is on that. well I can see you're an excellent operator. I have a few stumps here I would like to removed. have a great evening

[@DLHFarms]

+Elm custom harvesting. It has a 3ft on it, but if your going to dig a bunch of stumps I would recommend a 2ft

[@howardyounger5456]

you are a great operator. are you able to run that in excavator mode? loved the video.

[@DLHFarms]

+Howard Younger. Thanks Howard, I run this backhoe in excavator mode, but our New Holland and Ford backhoes that the levers are in between your legs I run those backhoe style.

[@howardyounger5456]

it seemed like most of the operators that i worked with like excavator mode.

[@DLHFarms]

+Howard Younger. I like it better also.

[@howardyounger5456]

now i know your a real operator. me have to use backhoe.

[@DLHFarms]

+Howard Younger. I grew up running backhoe style until we got our first excavator, you talk about messing with your mind that will. We learned to run them both ways, but I can not run an excavator backhoe style and I can't run a 2 lever backhoe with the sticks between my legs excavator style. It's all in your mind lol

[@gleanerk]

Looks like you've done this time or too!

[@DLHFarms]

+ScottyRockTrains. Yeah, I've been around the block on a backhoe. Lol

[@AlexKall]

You have to swing your seat around to reposition the machine? Cant you just do that facing backwards?

[@DLHFarms]

You can do it facing backwards if you don't have to go far or completely reposition the front of the machine.

[@Forestryman707]

Do you own all the equipment in your videos?

[@DLHFarms]

If I don't own it my dad does.

[@w056007568]

That's what I call getting the job done! Those stumps would sure make a mess of any mowerwould you rill or broadcast the seed on a small area like that when your someway from home?

[@DLHFarms]

+Dan Whiteford. Since I had the drill already out and set up I just pulled it over there and went over it twice. Now the last time I did this in that field the drill was in the shed and instead of dragging it out I broadcast the seed with a hand seeder and walked it in with a track skid steer. It worked good!

[@thill2570]

Is this machine have a automatic transmission or manual transmission

[@DLHFarms]

It's kinda both, it has gears that can be shifted manually or you can put it in auto mode. It don't have a clutch and you can stop at any time by just using the brakes.

[@bluemtnsman]

Seem to remember the worst part of getting locust stumps out is the smell. Osage Orange was the same way,,, a gosh awful smell.

[@DLHFarms]

+bluemtnsman I've never noticed a smell getting the stumps out but I'm always in an excavator cab! Lol!

[@robertmccully2792]

What i do is dig out stumps then bury them in same spot. Took out hundreds.

[@johnsword1997]

We call that a stob where I'm from

[@DLHFarms]

Ok... Cat 420E Vs Stob

[@xildhibaanxasandhabaase945]

What price

[@farmallskittle]

bye bye stumps wahahahahaha

[@DLHFarms]

+farmall skittle. Lol, yep!

[@daltoniks]

is CAT better then the JCB brand?

[@DLHFarms]

Never ran a JCB so I don’t know

[@shannonyt1]

You need a thumb on that machine.

[@DLHFarms]

Would be handy

[@codysciarra5458]

Can u make some more backhoe videos

[@DLHFarms]

If I ever run one again haha I try to stick to excavators

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

[@DLHFarms]

+FixinThatUp. Have you about watched all of them yet?

[@Fixinthatupvideos]

[@DLHFarms]

+FixinThatUp. Lol oh ok!

[@davidgaylord2035]
