Tomahawk Stump Bucket Review! How Does The CK2610 Handle It?

[@shawnlinne8239]

I’m pretty sure it was my post you saw on the ck2610 owners group. I don’t think there is a better stump bucket out there. I’ve dug out some 1000lb plus rocks with this thing and I keep thinking Im going to bend or break a tooth but they are still straight and unscathed. Very well built for being 175lbs. Im glad you did a review.

[@TNYankee2020]

Thanks. Never heard of it looks solid. Just bought one.

[@charlesreed6404]

I built one very similar. I cut out some of the back plate for a window to be able to see the end of the bucket. Much improved. NIce video.

[@upstategearheads]

Thank you!

[@rschris]

That’s pretty cool, glad to see it in action. Thanks for posting.

[@rastagrastag7784]

The serrated edges help when digging under the root and will saw off the root

[@gregoryflewellyn6369]

Great review,a very handy implement!

[@upstategearheads]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Rarebreed6]

Thank you for the video, very well explained, and it helped me a lot!! Keep it up...! 👍💯

[@userjones3399]

You have to use those serrated teeth like a saw, and it will through those roots there’s a technique to make this tool effective patience is the key. If you dig into the dirt and you go back-and-forth with the tractor, it will break up those roots. There’s a reason why those serrations are there. to let the teeth do the work so you don’t put stress on the loader because you can break the pins

[@cutweldngrind]

That's a cool attachment and seems to work.

[@raymondrich6720]

Push the loader down while rolling back the bucket, gives you more leverage

You might want to think about welding some expanded metal to your grill guard before your radiator gets harpooned by a branch. :-)

[@SplitWoodAcres]

Wait does that happen??

[@73leo73]

@@SplitWoodAcres oh yes it does and it's big bucks to replace your grill and radiator

[@SplitWoodAcres]

@@73leo73 Oof! I better get on that! Any articles or videos what/how to do it?

[@73leo73]

@@SplitWoodAcres yea there are some videos about how to do it. It's always handy to have a mig welder just for projects like this. Harbor freight has some low price units

[@Jarheadslandservice]

I need to do just that. Was hoping to find a prefabbed one...

[@Patriot-pq1ku]

I figured the 25 horse didn't have enough beans so I went with the 40 horse for price difference seemed like the thing to do

[@roberttaylor2616]

You can move the brush with your forks

[@rocketman4t7]

I'm curious, what is the width of to of the bucket? You didn't give that measurement.

[@daddio7249]

You need both, a tooth bar on your bucket to take down the smaller stuff then switch to the stump bucket to get the larger stuff after the small stuff is cleared away.

[@broomfieldsdual-sport]

Mulch it and it will go back into the ground eventually. But cool attachment i like it 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@upstategearheads]

I've thought about that.... A friend down the road has an older chipper/shredder that I've used before behind my tractor to feed wood chips into his motocross track, but the stumps are going to be too large to fit into it and unfortunately I don't have the time to cut every stump apart and feed them one at a time. I'd love to though!

[@donaldstrishock3923]

Just a "side-note" ,What kind of fuel are you running; /= sounds like a combination of stale diesel, lighter fluid ,& stale watered-down "rot-gut" gas-o-hol. I have a "old-timer" 3 banger indirect "die-zezal" that is only 1/3 a " clangy-bangy-rattler" that is 35years young with 1700hours. With 2 newer "jobs" @ 6years old & 1100hours combined with one a 3 & the other a 4 cylinder ( both turbocharged), they are hard to tell IF they are "die-zezles" ; since they are quieter than a "church-mouse's". Been thinking about one of these "smaller big 25hp " tractors but that "NOISE" would drive me crazy! Liked that "handy-dandy" bucket.Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio. Best wishes with all your endeavours.

[@upstategearheads]

It's fresh farm diesel. Sounded the same since it was new regardless if it's pump diesel or farm fuel

[@CantankerousOB]

LOL that poor lil tractor. You would've been much quicker with a grapple.

[@upstategearheads]

Right, so how exactly would I have gotten under the stump with a grapple? Not to mention it was 1/4 the cost, and I do not have 3rd function installed yet making the grapple Route much more expensive

[@CantankerousOB]

@@upstategearheads the poor man's third function is running hydraulic lines from the rear remote to the grapple. Tons of videos here on YT about that. Those weren't stumps, they were shrubs. If your small tractor couldn't grab them and pull them straight out of the ground, you use the root rakes on the bottom to scoop them out.

[@roberts735]

Don’t listen to these guys. I have a wicked grapple from everything attachments and it does not get the job done on my ck2610 and I beat it to its max. I’m looking at getting a stump bucket myself.

[@skiffintherift9179]

this guy's design is amazing i like the stump bucket idea for trenching but i think renting a small backhoe for a few days makes more sense for alot of us check out the rhino ripper kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKKzd3eFdt6Gask

[@upstategearheads]

That's a pretty sweet idea!

[@golfr6178]

I’m in upstate ny as well. Same brush, best attachment for this stuff is root grapple. Put bottom tines in ground and push. Comes right out. Close grapple and take to burn pile. Man has to use what he’s got though. More than one way to do things. I want a stump bucket too though. Thinking it might dig a trench for French drain since I don’t have backhoe. Great video and great review!

[@lwwarren]

Way cheaper solution than a backhoe attachment but the stump bucket won't be as clean.

[@518ADK]

I have the bad boy 4025. I wanted the 4035 but they didn’t have the non cab model. I have a root grapple and backhoe. I’m clearing 8 acres on Sacandaga and I am going to grab this stump bucket right now. More in my arsenal. I’m slowly learning that you can’t have too many implements. Thanks for the review.

[@pmaint1]

That engine sounds sick.

[@dannymckinsey208]

I watched another channel this morning with his new Titan. He actually was going back and forth on a 2” root! It WAS working like a saw…amazing!

[@dcidci1012]

You have forks, Dig on Saturday, then put forks on Sunday to pile & burn.

[@ShockSgt]

In Western, NY. Recently purchased 64 acres and in the process of removing buck brush and approximately 200 dead ash trees. Had someone come in with forestry mulcher and still more to do. Was thinking about purchasing a used excavator and finishing the work I have left and selling it. Have seen the Titan stump bucket and was thinking about one, but it seems like they are never in stock. Thanks for showing the Tomahawk you purchased and the work that you did with it. Would be a cheaper alternative the purchasing an excavator.

[@upstategearheads]

It's certainly cheaper than purchasing an excavator, but depending on the size of the stumps it will most likely take much more time than the excavator will. When we built my dad's 50x60 garage we had to remove 92 Tamaracks and the stumps were large enough that it made more sense to rent an excavator for the week

[@rastagrastag7784]

Good choice i put the same exact tomahawk stup bucket on my kubota L2501 and it gets the job done for sure 👍

[@upstategearheads]

Yes it does!

[@homestead_diy]

We got a Titan stump bucket for our Kubota L3901. The first video I made with it was kinda embarrassing. It is hard to see what I'm doing over the hood of the tractor.

[@MJF40]

Looks good. I Hhve the MTL Long tooth stump bucket. Got it for 500 bucks in 20’. It’s too big for my 2025r but still works in certain situations. I have the Artillian stump bucket too. For driving in and under the big one is effective.

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Works good on getting out rocks too 👍🏻👍🏻

[@PeaceIntheValley]

Still happy with that? Do you have a link for that? Good video.

[@upstategearheads]

Yea, I've been very happy with it. I've probably got 10 hours of use on it, maybe more but it hasn't shown any damage tomahawkattachments.com/products/tomahawk-stump-bucket

[@upstategearheads]

They're sold as 25, but I've turned the fuel screw up a bit so that it's around 30-32
