Came for the stump pullin' stuck around for the how to dig a pond tutorial.

[@MJADoingStuff]

🤣👍 learn something new every day!! It can dig pretty good. Thanks for checking out the video and leaving a comment 😁👍

[@williammitchell9604]

Just a couple of suggestions. Put your dirt back in the hole as you dig. It will be loose and will not effect the stump coming out. This way you will not have a big hole to drive through. Your engine speed is fine, but slow your transmission down. Also if you do not have liquid in the rears, it will help keep you on the ground.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thank you for the kind and informative suggestions you are correct I had no ballast in the rear tires and the hole was huge😂even my wife had better ideas on how to do it. Unfortunately when I get something in my head from researching other channels and come up with a plan I have a hard time letting go and opening my eyes 👀. KZbin has changed that I know now that there is better ways out there from more experienced viewers. Thanks for watching and Have a wonderful Thanksgiving 😁👍🚜💨🦃🍽

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Great teamwork Mitch and Jamie! Those stumps and roots are misleading for sure.... but when you think of the fact that they hold a tree up, it makes sense. Love the ending! -Ed

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Ed! We sure had fun that day. Jamie the forewoman was keeping me in line 🤣 main thing is we got the stump out. See you on the next one ☀️😁👍

Behind every successful project is a good woman! At least that is what I have been taught! Good job persevering. I agree this stump bucket seems to be the right size for Kubota B series tractors. Thanks for posting, Cheers!

You got that right Mike I don’t know what I’d do without her (my wife) have a great weekend☀️😁👍

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb6513]

Them stump buckets are most definitely a more affordable way to go about stump removal.... but man hard on a loader.. and the size of the hole that's a lot to fill back in... but they will work if you have patience ...like the video. Thanks for sharing

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thank for checking out the video 👍 I think a stump grinder would be better but a lot more money😂👍🚜💨💡

[@garrytalley8009]

You have a nice video. I almost hate to say this but old rotten stumps don't need a stump bucket. I have a root grapple and all it takes is a good push to break them loose and the grapple will pick them right up. Having said that I am interested in the stump bucket you are using because they certainly are a necessity for living trees with live roots. Nice video.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks for letting me know I am saving up for a root grapple one day Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Lol Mitch, you have your stump certification. That was rich! The rear wheel coming off of the ground gets your attention rather quickly. Love your videos. You do a great job. Your channel is going places.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Gary 👍We had fun making the video and learning how to use the stump bucket. Of course I learn how not to use it 🤣 thanks for checking out the video.

I’m running about 500# on the back of my BX for big jobs. I filled a ballast box about 60% with gravel. That way I can adjust as needed. Easier on the front axel and sticks the rear tires.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Nice vid. I like watching your B2601 videos. I have a B2601 and love it, perfect size tractor for my uses. I also dig the corny jokes and one liners. My poor wife hears enough of mine, I guess I should have to endure someone else's lol.

[@raincoast9010]

Like anything, digging stumps and learning where the roots are is a work in progress. You got it done in the end and next time will be a little better. One thing, cool your engine down before shutting it off.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Very true I enjoy learning and changing my ways to keep things interesting. Yes your right about shutting it down without cooling down I really did not have to turn it off I could of let it idle. Thanks for giving me advice on different things to think about still learning,living and having fun😁see you on the next one ☀️😁👍

[@HAXMAN]

Impressive. Most impressive. The jokes at the end, that is. 😂 I’m going to get one of these soon. Amazing how well they work.

[@MJADoingStuff]

I think it is becoming one of my favorite attachments I already used it to trans plant some small trees and cut a trail in the side of a hill I think I can use it to put in some sprinklers too👍 I know the joke were corny but they were in my head begging to be set free🤣 have a good weekend Adam we see you on the next one.☀️😁👍

[@user-qx8mv5sj8h]

Dig 360 degrees around the stump. Minimize the slope of your entry ramps. Yes that leads to a larger diameter hole, but if you really want to get the stump out you can not get stuck.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks for the advice. Have a great weekend and thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️

[@dpistone10]

Next time you need ballasts on the back. Are your tires filled with Rim Guard? That makes tractor work so much easier. Adding 1,000 pounds in your tires works so much better. Check out Good Work Tractors. They always preach ballast weight when using a stump bucket.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Your are 100% correct sometimes I learn the hard way. But I never stop learning and trying 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@dpistone10]

I was so glad to watch this video. You actually showed that there is a bunch of different ways to tackle a stump. However you made mistakes and clearly showed them on this video. That’s what I call a “Real Man”. You made the mistakes, showed us so we could learn, did not edit them out, then told us what you really should have done. We Do Not see that much here on You Tube so thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability on this video. I learned a lot watching this video. I was not criticizing you here it was just stuff I learned by watch Good Work Tractors 🚜 videos about their stump bucket and using ballast weights. I know you have had the Titan for some time now. Have you caused any damage to it? How many stumps have you removed? I need to remove 13 stumps from my property. One is 19 inches across by 14 inches wide. The others are smaller and go down in size to 9 inches by 6 inches. However I am at a loss on which Stump Bucket to purchase. Good Work Tractors 🚜 does not have them very long, total 27 inches of dig in. They are trying to protect the loader. This is my dilemma. I know seeing the tip of my stump bucket will be very difficult if I purchase the Good Works Tractor one but I also Do Not Want To Ruin My Loader. I own a John Deere 3033R tractor. It looks like you have a lot more horsepower than I have but don’t know that for sure? Basically I am trying to buy the best stump bucket that will work for my tractor. Any of your insight is greatly appreciated. Good Work Tractors sent me a quote with ballast weights telling me it’s 100% critical. Your video definitely proved to me that Courtney from Good Works Tractors was a honest businessman and NOT trying to up sale me. Thanks so much for this video. I appreciate your honesty and NOT editing out your mistakes. You are A Real Man. 👍🚜👍🚜

[@MJADoingStuff]

@@dpistone10 I have only removed about 10 stumps but some were only 6-8 inches but I have used it for lots of different projects. I have not done any damage but looking at your 3033r specs you have close to 32hp and your loader can pickup close to 2200lbs in my opinion I stress that it is just my opinion you might be pushing the limit of the Titan stump bucket. I think it would be faster to use a stump grinder attachment but then it will sit around or you can sell it because I don’t think you can do anything else with it. My B2601 only has 24.5hp and 950lbs of lifting power. Hope that helps have a great Sunday.😁👍🚜💨☀️

[@dpistone10]

Thanks so much. I know they sell a heavy duty version as well. Good Work Tractors Co. videos had the entire tree there. You did not and neither will I. Thank for checking the stats and your opinion. Something you might want to list to. If you go to 5:16 minute mark you can then here this part about ballast weights. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWrGqoSHp7hporcsi=SmgKR1mCFVC54tqW

That stump bucket was doing a good job till you got stuck! Could have done with one of those customized transport box/buckets on the front loader ;) 🤣 great video again glad you didnt get STUMPED for to long lol!

[@MJADoingStuff]

I only got stumped for a minute had fun the whole time. Not as big as the stump you guys dug up but was still a Challenge have a good weekend☀️😁👍 thanks for checking out the video

[@mueckenhoeffer]

How far away to dig depends on the species of the stump, so your 6'-10' may be reasonable for big old oaks. Guessing that was a cedar of some sort, and their stumps aren't spread quite so much, but they don't rot to much. Yellow pines will have a long tap root, and present their own challenges. The general idea of these stump buckets is to break up roots with their teeth and the hydraulic power of your loader. If you try to push too hard with the tractor, you'll experience the joy of broken hydraulic lines. You don't usually need to move so much dirt.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks again for spending the time to leave a comment with great information. I don’t know what kind of tree it was I thought it was a oak because a small oak tree was growing out of it. So the next time I do it I should try to rip at the roots while lifting and backing up. We are learning as we go. Thanks again 🚜💨💡😁👍

[@seansysig]

You need to clear out a working area around the stump before hand.

Я не очень политический человек, но я думаю, что то, что сейчас происходит в мире, очень серьезно, и нам всем нужно более критично относиться к новостям, которые мы читаем, и видео, которые мы смотрим. Мы должны проверять источники на предмет фальши, искать истинные мотивы, стоящие за новостями, и не поддаваться пропаганде. Ситуация сейчас гораздо опаснее, чем кажется на первый взгляд, и мы должны быть объективны в своих оценках различных источников.

[@jacklabloom635]

What if you had a pie shaped flat saw blade on the front of that tractor, about a quarter inch thick. You could saw the stump off level with the ground, going back and forth, instead of digging it out.

[@MJADoingStuff]

I think that would work. I sure went back and forth enough to use that idea 💡 thanks for sharing your idea 🚜💨💡😁👍

[@henrymorgan3982]

I am no expert, but I think time better spent probing and cutting root like a spear. Also will not make divots for your front tires.

When stuck, did you try raising the loader arms all the way up, attachment all the way down & stuck in the ground? Then just tilt attachment back to help push you backward?

[@MJADoingStuff]

Your right that is a great maneuver but at that point the stump bucket was stuck under the stump and the tractor was pushing up against it cause I made such a steep ramp (hole)so could not get the bucket out 😂 stuff happens when we are “Doing Stuff “ .

I don’t think it’s necessary to remove the dirt as you go. Just dip in the bucket, break any roots and leave the dirt so you’re not driving into a hole.

[@BlackSparrowRanch]

Did you add those hooks yourself? Apologies if I missed that part. Are they weld on, or bolt on? I'm thinking about getting one of these stump buckets and I'm torn between this one and the HD one. I also need to dig some trenches, so I figure it will be the same amount of money to rent a trencher or buy a stump bucket, which I could also use for stumps and rocks.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Yep 👍 I welded the hooks on. Just my opinion but if you have a compact or sub-compact tractor then you will be fine but if it is a skid loader I have seen pictures of the locking pins on SSQA tear out the bottom holes on the stump bucket. The weight of the HD model will also take away from lifting capacity too. Anyway just my 2 cents. Thanks for checking out the video have a great week🚜💨💡😁👍

[@BlackSparrowRanch]

@@MJADoingStuff Yeah, I didn't notice the weight of the HD bucket until after I commented. I will likely get the same one as you to save the weight. In your opinion, would bolt on hooks work on that one? I'm not a great welder, but I put some bolt-ons on my regular bucket and they are awesome.

[@MJADoingStuff]

I would think 🤔 that Ken’s bolt on hooks would work. If you have a grinder then I think you could make adjustments to the hooks so the drilled holes are not to close to the edge. I have a video showing the hooks being welded on so you can see the edge I am talking about.

[@BlackSparrowRanch]

@@MJADoingStuff I will check it out. Ken's bolt ons are the ones I put on my bucket.
