Digging Out a Stump That Was WAY Too Big With the Jansen Towable Backhoe MB 300 with 14 Inch Bucket

I wanted to dig this stump out, I figured it would be a good practice for myself. It ended up being WAY bigger of a job than I expected so I filmed the second half. I also wanted to try out the 14" bucket. Enjoy!

You are having fun right or my how much you got done . Can't wait to start digging ANYWHERE I NEED TO GET THIS THING DIRTY AND MAYBE MUDY . HAHAHA . 😂😂

Thanks!

Nice job!! I have a stump that I have to dig out. Watching you gave me some ideas.

[@brianh2324]

I have the harbor freight trencher and have removed much larger stumps. I have replaced one hose because i hit the fitting and broke it. 3 years use and thats it for repair.

I tried to dig out a stump about 2 times the size of this one, took me a whole day of digging and ripping the roots away. But it got it out hehe.

I think you have me sold on the Jansen. The cylinders look more beefy than the competition. I would like to see them add the stabilizer jacks like the Betstso but seems like it is heavier duty than the rest.

[@jbmountain4991]

I agree that's a nice feature on the betsco. Good luck with your machine! I love this thing

[@alphonsotate2982]

Yes twisting it is the way with a fully extended boom then pull

[@michaelbertzfield908]

I'm interested to know if you have developed oil leak at middle-cylinder fixed-end? I have replaced the middle cylinder once and have developed leak at same place again. I am trying to troubleshoot the root cause. Thank you for any information you can give me.

[@jbmountain4991]

Hello, it came out of the box with an internal leak in the control box that would cause the arm to drop, but they replaced that. No issues with the cylinders (yet lol)

[@Saltbox97]

Wow. That was some stump and hard to get it moving. When you get off the machine and go to back are you adjusting the engine speed or something?

[@jbmountain4991]

This was my first job I tried when I got the machine and it kept stalling out when the machine would bounce. After the video I found out it was a low oil issue. Works great now

[@anthonywemigwans]

i want one...

[@gamingSlasher]

There is a hook like attachment instead of the bucket. I guess that would be good to rip apart those roots.

[@jbmountain4991]

Yes definitely. It wasn't an option when I bought mine, but definitely something I want to look into from another supplier.

[@jtbro7644]

I'm looking at making a ripper tooth to my backhoe. I wount it to bolt on to the bucket. I'm going to try see how it will work

[@jbmountain4991]

@@jtbro7644 yeah I'd love to try and make one. Did you do yours yet?

[@branchtheriault7787]

I have a similar unit. On big stump, I try to set one of the front front rigger on the stump and then place the bucket under the stump and just curl the bucket...you then take advantage of the full hydraulic power. Also use the rigger to move big stumps...easier than using the bucket.

[@jbmountain4991]

Sounds like a good idea. I'll give that a try, thanks!

[@jackman6256]

What size Hydraulic Pump does that machine have do you know ?

[@jbmountain4991]

Hello, 4 gal of oil and the pump is 3.8g/m. Sorry for the delayed response, just saw your question

[@Trex450S]

You could use a ripper

[@jbmountain4991]

Yes definitely! It's in the list haha

[@heartwastaken]

Still waiting on Jansen's terrible customer service to reach out regarding the expensive paperweight they sold me

[@jbmountain4991]

really? They were great when I had a small issue. whats going on with your machine?
