The presenter gives a practical size limit, roughly four-and-a-half to five inches, for what the machine can realistically handle. Useful for owners weighing whether a BX23S with these attachments can tackle their land-clearing work.
Posted by the TOWNLINE EQUIPMENT channel, which given its name may be dealer-affiliated, though the transcript reads more like practical operator guidance than a sales pitch.
The backhoe pulls through roots and snaps them off without strain, while the grapple is better for lifting the loosened stump out once it's free from the ground.
Using just the grapple to pry roots at the ground's edge puts a lot of rotational force on the loader arms, which they are not designed for.
Roughly four and a half to five inches. Anything bigger than that would make for a long day of work.
