Massive Tree Stump Removal By Excavator

Check out our time codes below! We got asked to remove a huge cluster of tree stumps weighing 5,000 pounds in a backyard to make room for a new addition. With only a few inches to spare we managed to squeeze our Case 145 Excavator down the side of the house and into the backyard. The stump put up a fight but ultimately lost as we dug it out of the ground and loaded it into our dump trailer and hauled it to the dump. #excavator #construction #destruction

My grandpa use to operate an excavator back in Vietnam, I showed him this video & he said this dude really knows what he’s doin. Rock on brother 🤘🏻

The sound of a excavator working is relaxing THROW OUT THE BAD MUSIC

Thank you for your suggestion.

Who else is pulling a 2267961.85 gram stump right out of the ground like that! Demolition Man Mike is the guy!!💪

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO MIKE 😊

[@DemolitionManMike]

Thank you I appreciate that. More videos to come

I once removed a stump that weighed 5001 lbs. bet this was close to that.

[@spencersample1488]

Proof?

[@camhoit4974]

@@spencersample1488 I have the proof on a hard drive in a storage unit in Florida. Might be going back soon, so if you can wait that would be cool.

How did you weigh the stump?

[@DemolitionManMike]

Good question. It gets weighed in my trailer at the transfer station/dumps scale.

[@matteoricci1449]

great video whats the largest exavator in the fleet?

[@DemolitionManMike]

Thanks appreciate that. We currently only have two 15-ton excavators and are in the process of buying a kobelco 270

That case doesn’t have much power. John Deere 120 works great and has a lot of downward pressure. Tap roots are pretty tough.

[@DemolitionManMike]

I'd have to disagree. Our case excavator has plenty of power and where it really shines is fuel efficiency. I've ran lots of Deere equipment and they don't compare to fuel efficiency of our Case. Power wise I would say they are comparable. In many situations when a job is tough operator skills and tricks/technique are more important than equipment power. But I appreciate your comment

[@beneddy878]

You call that a stump!?

[@DemolitionManMike]

Yes I do.lol. Definition of a stump: the bottom part of a tree left projecting from the ground after most of the trunk has fallen or been cut down. 😃

[@teddysponsler6220]

I like to know the actual cost in doing so, I JUST mite hire you, or find out I'm being screwed threw the Company that's willing to do mine

[@DemolitionManMike]

The cost to remove the tree stump only?

[@cathtf7957]

Music ruined it. Believe it or not, we want to hear the machinery.

[@DemolitionManMike]

Thank you for the feedback. I know when I operate I enjoy listening to music. But I will take that into consideration for future videos

[@carlahrens1411]

there are many better machines for this job , if you make some money someday , buy a chainshaw to shaw the roots. saves some time

[@DemolitionManMike]

Interesting, I'm curious which machines you are thinking would work better

[@paulwilson680]

@carlahrens1411 are you kidding a chainsaw for a stump that big that deep in the ground ...

[@DemolitionManMike]

🤔 digging the stump out of the ground only took me an hour. Chainsaws do not like dirt or sand and unfortunately the roots are in the ground. I'm guessing that would have added time to our task and not been as fun.

[@robinjchambers845]

Terrible music

[@DemolitionManMike]

Sorry I will try to select better music.
