Digging a Stump with Cub Cadet 149 TLB

[@stanleylosh1899]

That is a win. You have certainly earned bragging rights.

[@danielwheeler2405]

Very cool tractor! If you still have it, I would like to see it dig up something like a busted water line, or sewer line. Would be totally cool to just drive it right inside the backyard

[@geraldhaury4199]

Don't stop, people like you make the world better for everyone!

[@Isavetractors]

Thanks for the comment! Means a lot to me! =)

Looks like it works awesome man. Digging stumps is hard work for a tractor. I put an excavator attachment on our 843 bobcat lately and every time I dig a stump out it takes for ever and several times I’ve had catastrophic failures like bent tilt cylinders and shear hydraulic mounts. The key is patience and smart digging to separate the roots from the trunk. As I’m sure you know by now.

Norman that tractors the best thing since sliced bread. Love it

[@GuntersGarage]

Nice! I havent had a chance to watch all the build videos, but, Im looking forward to it.

[@calvinpagac5931]

Love that 149 c/c hydro set up as this one, my ol 125 would love to see this one as it is here, but it did not stick around long enough for me to do much of anything to it; i lost it 😣; but don't worry, a grizzly 124 is almost ready to take its place. Yes, i will miss the hydro it had, cause the 124 is only a 3 spd, but then the 126 that i also had, had a 3 spd. itself; and as grizzly as it was it wasn't scared of the devil OR Daniel Webster. 5 stars for the 149, and 5 stars for operating it properly 👍👍👍👍👍😆

[@blairguinea6811]

I would love that cub cadet !

[@Timberland-Farms]

id like to see a mini farm like i have. you have the land and the gts, weld up a 4 foot cultivator like i have and grow a large garden. keep up the good work saving those tractors

[@Isavetractors]

Thanks! We will be a farm soon! I am building an 8 horse stall barn in 2017 and hopefully will have a large garden too. Stay tuned! Thanks again,

[@brianphilbrook5262]

I would love this setup on my JD112

[@carlmottola5611]

It’s pretty impressive what can be done with patience and a little gas powered garden tractor. Now you just need to get a pto driven stump grinder. Do you sell any of your garden tractors that you collect?

[@danielsorrentino3243]

mint, wish i had time to make that for my 105

[@dominique4822]

Magnifique, y a t'il déjà eu une customisation sur un MF 1200 Garden ? j' en ai 3 et bricoleur du dimanche. J'adore vos customisation, dommage qu'en France l'engouement ne soit aussi fort sur ce type d'engin. En tout cas je suis fan. Bravo

[@NilsKall]

If you had the option of having 2 separate machines like my towable backhoe/Simplicity legacy loader or just the TLB, regardless of cost, what would you prefer and why? BTV you still haven't fixed better ergonomics on the 149 TLB, perhaps it's more comfortable digging with it than it locks? Regard Nils

[@Isavetractors]

that's a tough choice. the TLB is more maneuverable but the towable can be detached and you can use the rear lift of a tractor for other things. i don't know how I would choose. it's a good thing I don't have to!

[@NilsKall]

Yeah it sure is a rich country problem!

[@MatHelm]

Figured out yet that you need a knob on the steering wheel?

[@FrankRuiz66]

How's that held up over the years.. Looks like it turned out great..

[@Isavetractors]

Held up great! Almost 100 hours and have used for everything from Stump Digging, the Trench Digging, Grave Digging for animals, and Sono Tube Hole digging! Everything is still tight and perfect

[@oldironsfury]

Good machine !

[@fitzfarm8694]

You should make a root ripper to use in place of the bucket

[@Isavetractors]

Yes, I plan on making one in the future! I just upgraded my welder so I will be able to burn much thicker steels. Thanks for watching.

[@dirtdude1040]

that's a great machine, try putting all your excavated material on one side.

[@stephanlarson8899]

Beautiful job on the cadet though

[@Isavetractors]

Stephan Larson thanks!

[@chevycub100]

WHATS THE MAKE ON THE BACKHOE AND MODEL

[@Isavetractors]

I made it. You can watch the entire build series on this youtube channel

[@southernwulf6983]

Would u ever sell on of those backhoe or do mock ups

[@Isavetractors]

Probably not. I am not set up for doing a production of these

[@shawnmontalvo181]

Can I bring you my Cub 149 and pay you to do that???

[@stephanlarson8899]

Stick of dynamite would have been quicker

[@Isavetractors]

Stephan Larson yea unfortunately I ran out of dynamite. maybe next time

[@ramjet7943]

waste of money and time, what do you have when your done???

[@billsafreed9982]

You are kidding, right? Obviously you have no need for a TLB like many of us.

[@ramjet7943]

No, not kidding, I have several, they just actually do something more productive then two shovels that cost $20. If you have to speed up the video to make it look worthwhile, that says it all.

[@Isavetractors]

jokes on you. Because I get paid to do it. duh.

[@Isavetractors]

Can I please see a video of you digging a 4' deep trench with a shovel? Your comment is pretty wasteful. You could have been using your time to build something cool instead of troll around the internet.

[@rogerwoodland6387]

no root
