But no real reviews of how it really worked out on roots.

Aug 07, This is the first real tree stump I have removed with my Kubota BX23S. The backhoe has proved to be very useful on the little tractor. This guy was roug. Carsten, that's a very nice tractor, and sounds to me like a good price. But as to whether you can remove stumps with the front end loader; it depends on the size of the stump, type of tree and roots, type of soil, how hard it is, etc., but just very generally speaking, you probably will not remove many stumps with the front end loader.

Nov 07, - Remove 2 bolts - Pull the pins - Swap Ripper for Bucket - Pins and bolts back Bucket and ripper are both light enough to hold in place and put the pins back in. I usually leave it" off the ground when swapping. Aug 01, A stump bucket makes a pretty good ditching tool, too, if you're digging a shallow ditch for run-off or a french drain.

Like cliffboyer pointed out, it takes a little learning to use, and you'll definitely find different techniques work on different species of tree.
